About 217 W Driftwood Dr
Some homes give you a floor plan. This one gives you options. Set on an oversized lot in Fredericksburg, this 5-bedroom home can shift easily between a full-time residence, multi-gen setup, weekend retreat, or memorable STR. Nearly everything needed for daily living is downstairs, including four bedrooms and multiple distinct gathering spaces. The kitchen, dining, and living areas share one generous footprint beneath vaulted, beamed ceilings. A wraparound breakfast bar keeps plenty of seating close to the kitchen, while butcher-block countertops and SS appliances are ready for everything from quiet mornings to a full house. A separate living room and sunroom offer additional places to gather. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a fireplace, sitting area, private outdoor access, and an ensuite bath. Another bedroom also has its own ensuite, adding another layer of privacy for guests or extended family. Upstairs, a game room, 5th bedroom, and full bath create a separate destination for visitors or older children. The backyard keeps the choices coming with a covered patio, multiple dining and lounging areas, and a fire pit made for winding down after a day in wine country. But the property’s most unexpected feature is inside the detached garage. Reimagined as a cedar-lined private wellness studio, it includes a large dry sauna, a heated soaking tub that can also be used as a cold-plunge pool, a full bath, a lounge area, and enough remaining space to add workout equipment. It is the kind of amenity guests remember, and owners will want to use on repeat. Just four blocks from Llano Street/HW 16 and about two miles from historic Main Street, puts the property close to the wineries, tasting rooms, shops, and dining that keep Fredericksburg on travelers’ calendars. A flexible home, a private wellness escape, and an STR with serious income potential. The location brings the visitors; this property gives them a reason to book. Buyer to verify all info.
