Amazing Carter's Creek location!! +/- 1.07 Acre lot with Pier on Carter's Creek 8.5' MLW, bulkheaded, c1890 Queen Anne Farm style Main house +/- 2,500 SF and additional building with many possible uses. Energy-effective geo-thermal heat, tankless hot water. From the National Historic Register: "This 3-bay wide house features a 2-story, 3 sided front, gabled projecting bay on the left side of the façade, with decorative wood shingles and couple narrow vertical windows in the front gable." Carter's Creek is THE place to be at the Rivah! Live your best life at this vintage waterfront getaway, nestled in the Sailboat Cove community. It is less than a mile to the 4-star Tide's Inn Resort, as well as to downtown Irvington. Enjoy shopping and gathering with friends in popular Kilmarnock, just 6 miles away. The owner has thoughtfully updated and renovated to today's standards, while preserving the original character and charm. Closets and built in cabinetry offer generous storage for a home of this vintage. The large lot, over an acre, allows ample opportunity for additions to the house and grounds. Situated also on this property is the original, c1860's "drive up by boat" National Bank Building, which later served as a barbershop on Steamboat Road, then as the office when this property was Benson's boatyard. This building sports a new metal roof and has electricity; running water service and hooking to the main house septic or alternative organic options could allow for making this building an artist's studio, office or cozy retreat. From the National Historic Register: "This 1-story, 3-bay wide wood frame shed features weatherboard siding, a 6/6 double hung wood sash window, a 1-leaf paneled wood door, and a side-gable, standing seam metal roof." A gentle slope leads to the private pier, and there is also a storage shed near the main house.
