Set on the shores of Carter’s Creek in one of Irvington’s most coveted waterfront enclaves, Captain’s Quarters is a rare opportunity to reimagine a classic coastal home with long, open views over deep, protected water and a true sense of privacy. Approached via quiet Steamboat Road, the house carries easy Tidewater poise, with a broad brick terrace at the rear—an outdoor room made for long lunches, late-day drinks, and ever-changing creek vistas.

Inside, the atmosphere is bright and water-oriented, featuring time-softened timber floors, simple traditional joinery, generous windows, a gently bowed dining-room window, and fireplaces that anchor intimate gathering spaces. The property now invites a comprehensive renovation—an ideal canvas to restore its steamboat-era character while introducing contemporary comfort and style.

The creekfront first-floor primary suite is positioned for an intimate relationship with the water, with bay seating, glazed doors to the terrace, and a fireplace. Supporting spaces include a dressing room, walk-in closet, and a large bath with double vanity and soaking tub—well-scaled for a future redesign.

Set on a rare in-town one-acre site with approximately 212 feet of shoreline, the grounds meet calm water at the edge, with a private dock and seldom-offered boathouse—making it effortless to step from lawn to boat and out onto the creek. With scope for a pool, gardens, and expanded outdoor living, Captain’s Quarters offers the bones, setting, and provenance to create a lasting Irvington retreat shaped by place, perspective, and life at the water’s edge.
