Nestled in the premier neighborhood of Argyle Heights, The "California House" is a one-of-a-kind contemporary home designed by architect Juan Chaves and built by Charles Eanes. Juan Chaves began his career as an AIA architect, designing many of the most beautiful homes and businesses in the Fredericksburg area. He worked closely with his father-in-law, Kenneth Covert, specializing in historic preservation and building custom homes with millwork and cabinetry that he designed and created in their shop. Juan's designs and homes were featured in many magazines and on Home and Garden television. A stunning glass atrium serves as the heart of the home, filling the interior with natural light and providing a peaceful indoor garden retreat. Low-E windows, featuring a thin, nearly invisible coating on the glass, improve energy efficiency by reflecting heat and reducing energy costs have been thoughtfully used in this space. A covered exterior entryway serves as a place for your guests to arrive. Upon entering the foyer, the atrium immediately draws your eye, setting the tone for the unique design elements throughout. To the right, a private office offers a quiet workspace and features a brick wall plus a large window overlooking the side yard. This home offers convenient one-level living plus a bonus lower level! The layout flows seamlessly into the sunny family room which boasts a striking brick wall that showcases the fireplace and hearth, large enough to accommodate a yule log. Glass windows are prominently featured in every room on the upper level and add to the contemporary nature of the design. The dining room, which opens onto a two-tiered deck also overlooks the spacious lawn and a border of mature trees - this is the perfect spot for al fresco dining. The bright kitchen, bathed in natural light from windows on two sides, is both functional and inviting. A versatile flex space at the rear of the home is perfect for an artist’s studio, complete with access to the back deck, where raised garden beds and an outdoor sitting area create a gardener’s paradise. A convenient half bath serves the main living and entertaining spaces. Three well-appointed bedrooms line the opposite side of the home, each featuring vertical windows that welcome streams of natural light. The primary suite includes a refreshed ensuite bathroom with granite counters and a beautifully updated shower. The additional two bedrooms share a full bathroom, creating a practical and private layout for family or guests. This home is designed in a perfect square which wraps around the atrium and leads you back to the foyer where you began your tour. The lower level offers even more space with a generous recreation room warmed by a wood stove, an additional full bathroom, and a large flex room with an oversized window—easily converted into a fourth bedroom with modifications. A long storage room along the front of the house provides ample utility & storage space. Originally designed as a garage, this is currently a workshop which opens into the newly constructed annex, a versatile space with a metal standing seam roof, large windows that invite in natural light, and sliding barn doors at the far end. Whether used as a garage or for creative pursuits, this addition enhances the home’s distinctive appeal and blends seamlessly with the original design concept. A true blend of architectural beauty and natural serenity, The "California House" offers a unique living experience both indoors & out. The home's crawl space has been encapsulated and home inspection was conducted prior to listing. Located just minutes from downtown Fredericksburg, you may enjoy an array of dining and shopping options, as well as easy access to the VRE train, providing a direct route to Washington, D.C., and points north. If you're searching for a unique home with a mid-century modern aesthetic, this is the one!
