Home Details for 248 Cardinal Lane Ln

Step back in time with this Queen Anne Victorian Farmhouse, built in 1870 and lovingly updated to blend the elegance of yesteryear with the conveniences of today. Nestled on Tabbs Creek, just off the Chesapeake Bay, this waterfront treasure offers the perfect balance of history, character, and modern comfort. The home features 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, along with a layout that flows gracefully for everyday living and entertaining. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors, intricate millwork, and a beautifully renovated kitchen, as well as fresh interior paint and numerous recent upgrades. Enjoy the outdoors with a private pier in excellent condition, offering 5–6’ MLW and a boat lift, ideal for boating, fishing, or crabbing. When not on the water, relax by the in-ground waterfront pool, framed by over 2 acres of mature grounds. Key updates include a new kitchen, new pool liner, new pavers, multiple new HVAC units, and more (see feature sheet for full list). The slate roof was updated in 2014, with architectural additions marking the home’s evolution: a two-story front wing added in 1912 and a rear addition completed in 1990. Located just minutes from White Stone, Irvington, and Kilmarnock, this property offers easy access to boutique shopping, dining, and community amenities, all while preserving its rich history and timeless waterfront setting. This is more than a house—it’s a piece of Northern Neck history waiting for its next chapter.
