A whimsical, three-bedroom cottage on 2 acres in Irvington, VA, just landed on the market.
Priced at $450,000, the 1,536-square-foot residence features Gothic double front doors, while arched windows flank the main entryway.
“The architecture of the home is so unique in that the design was crafted after some religious summer camps,” says listing agent Mary Burgess, of Re/Max Commonwealth. “Its Gothic Revival design looks fairy tale-ish.”

More arched doors on the spacious front porch lead to a cozy living room with a gas fireplace.
Newly finished, heart-pine hardwood floors are found on two levels, including the open staircase in the living room leading to the second floor. The home also has central air conditioning for the summer months.
There’s a separate dining area near the white galley kitchen that offers bar seating at the island. Glass doors from the kitchen lead out to a screened porch designed for entertaining and relaxing.

An upstairs primary suite accesses a private terrace via double arched doors. The primary bath boasts a dual-sink vanity, jetted tub, and walk-in closet.
A finished, lower level features two en suite guest bedrooms with updated bathrooms. One suite opens to a covered patio with an outdoor shower.
The home also has a new water heater and heat pump, according to Burgess.
Appealing perks
Built in 2004, the adorable bungalow is in the Vineyard Grove community, which has 19 privately owned residences.
A $179 monthly association fee includes access to a community swimming pool, walking trails, and a kayak dock overlooking Carter’s Creek.
“Irvington is a second-home and retirement market that is anchored by a resort,” Burgess says. “It’s a waterfront community along Chesapeake Bay, so there are lots of water sports available nearby, as well.”
Serene setting
The 2-acre, wooded lot is surrounded by trees for added privacy.
Although the serene setting feels remote, it’s accessible as a vacation home. In fact, it’s within a short walk from town, where charming boutiques, farmers markets, and dining options await, according to the listing.
“My guess is it is probably going to be used as a second home for someone from the Richmond or Washington, DC area,” Burgess says.
