About this property

Emmie's | Great Location

  • Located just 3 blocks north of Main Street and Marktplatz (Market Square), Emmie's House is a perfect location for exploring Fredericksburg. The house was originally built circa 1933 by Red and Emmie Schroeder, lifelong residents of Fredericksburg. Emmie was the first woman graduate of the University of Texas School of Pharmacy and Red was a Mayor of Fredericksburg from 1952 to 1958.

    Emmie's House has furnishings original to the home in addition to furniture from the family of the current owner. It sits on a large corner lot, known for it's massive Italian Stone Pine tree. The back yard is private and offers both an arbor with Adirondack chairs for lounging and patio with table and chairs to use while grilling on the gas grill.

    The home is unusual for Fredericksburg, from it's unique rock exterior to the soaring ceiling in the formal living room. The iron curtain rods and light fixtures are original to the house. Note the hand painted photograph of young Emmie to the right of the fireplace. Emmie's House was renovated in 2020, but retains much of its character from 1933.

    Enjoy breakfast in the sunny breakfast room on the vintage table that is original to the house. Dinner can be served in the large dining room on an expansive table that will seat 10 people. The original kitchen is well stocked with most anything you could need for a meal in-house.

    The back bedroom has a queen size bed and comfy club chair. The center bedroom has 2 twin beds plus a day bed. The bedding and mattresses are all new in 2020. The front turquoise-pink-black bathroom is also original to the house reflecting Emmie's love of color.

    The den was designed to be casual and comfortable. A large 65” smart TV is on one wall. Games are in the credenza below the TV and can be enjoyed on the game table in the den.

    If you are seeking the convenience of an in-town, walkable location combined with history and the outdoors, Emmie's House would love to welcome you.
