Set along the banks of Carter’s Creek in one of Irvington’s most coveted enclaves, Captain’s Quarters presents a rare opportunity to restore and elevate a waterfront classic. With timeless proportions, commanding views, and direct access to deep, protected water, the property is as much a lifestyle offering as it is a home—one that invites vision, creativity, and a profound sense of place.
With a private drive and surrounded by mature landscaping, the residence unfolds with quiet grace. A gracious brick terrace spans the rear, overlooking expansive creek views and offering a front-row seat to the Chesapeake Bay’s natural beauty. The home’s light-filled interior features early wood flooring, traditional millwork, and panoramic water-facing windows. The house calls for comprehensive renovation—an ideal project for a design-minded buyer seeking to shape a legacy home with modern comforts and classic sensibilities.
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 property’s location on Carters Creek ensures that the natural splendor of Virginia’s coastal landscapes is always within reach. Picture yourself sipping coffee on a sun-soaked terrace as you take in the scenic views or enjoying an afternoon of boating on calm waters just steps from your door. The outdoor space offers unlimited potential for expansion; whether you envision a luxurious pool, expansive gardens, or a waterfront entertaining area—this is your chance to bring your outdoor dreams to life.
But the true magic of 391 Steamboat Road lies in its setting in the town of Irvington, a jewel of Virginia’s Northern Neck—a destination known for its refined yet relaxed atmosphere. Once a historic steamboat port, Irvington has evolved into a sophisticated village that is beloved by both weekenders and full-time residents. A short stroll leads to wine bars and boutiques, while the scent of boxwoods and salt air drifts between clapboard inns and local galleries. Irvington is home to The Tides Inn, a renowned resort and marina, and the Hope & Glory Inn, a charming boutique hotel with a celebrated garden bar. From the farmer’s market to community crab feasts, the town blends coastal authenticity with an emerging culinary and arts scene.
Captain’s Quarters is more than a home in need of vision—it’s a gateway to a town defined by charm, community, and timeless elegance. For those looking to create a refined waterfront retreat with soul and story, this is a rare and inspiring opportunity.
