Property Description
Welcome to your dream retreat on the Rappahannock — a beautifully updated 1890s Farmhouse where historic charm meets effortless modern luxury, and the river is always just a glance away. Tucked away in the charming village of Weems, VA, this rare gem offers stunning views of the Rappahannock River. Minutes from the Tides Inn Resort and the shops, restaurants, and marinas of Irvington, White Stone, and Kilmarnock, you'll find everything you need for the perfect coastal lifestyle. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee on the back deck, enjoying a quiet evening by the community firepit, or watching the sky light up at sunset, you'll feel a deep connection to this peaceful, refreshing place. Inside, the main level is warm and inviting, with rich hardwoods, playful wallpaper, and windows that frame the water beyond. The sunroom with its vaulted ceiling is the perfect spot to curl up with a book, while the spacious living & dining rooms provide gathering spaces for friends & family. The recently renovated kitchen (2024) is a chef's dream, with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and sophisticated appliances. A main-level primary suite is a sanctuary, with water views, private deck, walk-in closet, & ensuite bath. Three additional bedrooms are upstairs, plus a large hall bath and storage. Step outside and embrace the magic of life on the river with 2 acres of rolling lawn, a screened porch, and 2 waterside decks. Launch your kayaks & floats from the community dock, fish off the pier, or paddleboard as the sun begins its descent. Boaters can find a marina slip just minutes away. Wrap up the day with happy hour at Merroir (home of the freshest oysters on the East Coast) or gather everyone for an elegant dinner at the Tides Inn. Then come home to catch a sunset—the kind people talk about for years. A large shed offers storage for water toys & gear. This is more than just a home—it's a front-row seat to the best sunsets in the Northern Neck and a life filled with river breezes, coastal charm, and everyday serenity.
