Property Description
On Irvington’s Carters Creek, Captain’s Quarters sits at the end of a charming lane - Steamboat Road, the most prominent neighborhood in the Northern Neck. Built in the late 19th century, this historic landmark blends Italianate elements with Victorian-era details. It features a more recent spacious raised terrace framed by a low brick wall offering sweeping water views. Off the circular drive, a brick walk leads to the front porch. The entry hall looks through the living room to the sparkling Carters Creek. Throughout the interior, the rich patina of wood floors exudes a timeless authenticity. The bright and airy living room welcomes you to enjoy the view from this creekfront knoll. A wall of bookshelves adds a touch of warmth, while the waterfront wall of glass embraces the coastal scene. The cozy study with a masonry fireplace is a quiet retreat. Bathed in light, the corner dining room features a bowed window. The bright country kitchen with an oversized island is ideal for entertaining and opens to a dining deck. The creekfront first-floor primary bedroom suite includes a dressing room, bath, and walk-in closet. On the upper level are three corner bedrooms and a bath. This in-town property boasts 155 feet of shoreline, plus a private deep-water dock with a rarely offered boathouse. The house is a short stroll to the town center, home to various boutique shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, and the well-known Tides Inn. Occupied by the same family for fifty-five years, this legacy home is now available for a new owner to enjoy the simple coastal life this classic home and community embraces. This home beckons as a haven of joy and beauty, awaiting the discerning eye to make it an incredible gathering place for generations.
