91 York Rd, Irvington, VA 22480 - For Sale

Two Luxury Homes Under One Roof Come to the Northern Neck of Virginia and discover a nostalgic, Southern way of life: the hospitality of the local people with a waterman tradition; small towns with no traffic; pristine, protected bodies of water of the Chesapeake Bay; raise oysters and catch Blue crabs from your own dock; bicycle quiet country lanes; visit the boyhood homes of early American statesman; just relax and enjoy life-extending casual pace. On Carters Creek in the heart of the quaint coastal village of Irvington, this striking, custom design with cedar shakes and white trim is reminiscent of an early seaside resort. The style provides the allure of times past, yet blends innovative elements of today's lifestyle. Created to accommodate two families with compatible, but different aesthetics, one design reflects classic Virginia style and the other an open, coastal design. This luxury home offers an inspired river retreat that is ideal for shared living or group gathering place. The ten-foot ceilings and outstanding millwork enhance the casual style with a touch of elegance. The floors of French limestone and heart pine confirm the commitment to authenticity. With tall windows the great room has a light, airy atmosphere; while the living room and library, both having a fireplace, conveys a warm, cozy quality. Two custom kitchens with granite counters, center islands, high-end appliances and plentiful storage provide impressive work spaces. The second floor encompasses five bedrooms, including two master suites opening to waterfront decks and porches; an office and den. An oak spiral staircase leads to the dramatic cupola with breath-taking vistas has two sun decks. Other amenities: elevator for convenience, swimming pool in striking setting, pier with three deep-water slips, one with a boatlift, perimeter boardwalk along the creek, attached two-car garage, detached two-bay garage and garden shed.
