Irvington, Va. | $450,000
A 2004 Carpenter Gothic-style house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, on a 2.1-acre lot
Just three hours outside the Washington metro area, with easy access to the Rappahannock River and Chesapeake Bay, Irvington has become a popular second-home and retirement destination. This house is in a small community less than five minutes by car from the town’s main thoroughfare, where there are several cafes, a flower shop and a museum devoted to the area’s maritime history. The Tides Inn, a waterfront hotel and spa, is less than two miles away.
Driving to Richmond takes about an hour and a half. Norfolk and Virginia Beach are about two hours away.
Size: 1,536 square feet
Price per square foot: $293
Indoors: A stone-and-gravel path leads from the road to the covered porch, where a pair of arched doors opens into the living area. This space has a fireplace with a simple white mantel and recently refinished knotty pine floors that continue into the windowed dining area and open kitchen beyond.
The kitchen, which is separated from the dining area by a breakfast bar, has white cabinetry and appliances. Behind the kitchen are doors that open to a screened porch, currently furnished with a sofa, armchairs and a fire table.
The primary suite is on the second level, reached from stairs in the living area. The bedroom has a walk-in closet and a pair of arched glass doors that open to a Juliet balcony; the bathroom has a double vanity, a windowed soaking tub and a separate shower.
Two more bedrooms are on the lowest level of the house. Both have en suite bathrooms; one has patio access.
