Property Description

Set along the protected shores of Carter's Creek, Captain's Quarters offers a rare in-town waterfront opportunity in one of Irvington's most desirable enclaves. Reached by scenic Steamboat Road, the property enjoys long creek views, natural privacy, and immediate access to boating, paddling, and relaxed coastal living. This classic Tidewater home invites restoration and reimagination, with original timber floors, traditional trim, generous water-facing windows, a bowed dining-room bay, and a substantial masonry fireplace reflecting its enduring character. Interior spaces are gracious and light-filled. A firelit study provides a quiet retreat, while the corner dining room captures abundant natural light. The country kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring extensive cabinetry, a large island, and doors opening to dining deck—ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The creekfront first-floor primary suite offers water views, bay window, terrace access, and its own fireplace. Additional features include a dressing room, walk-in closet, and a spacious bath with double vanity and soaking tub, well-suited for a future spa-style update. Outdoors, the approximately one-acre parcel boasts about 212 feet of shoreline, a private dock, and a rarely available boathouse—allowing effortless access from lawn to water. The grounds provide ample space for a pool, gardens, or waterfront pavilion. All of this is moments from Irvington's walkable village center, with boutiques, galleries, wine bars, marinas, and cherished local traditions, offering refined yet relaxed Chesapeake Bay living.
