Home Details for 1181 Caroline Street

Welcome to your waterfront retreat on the Rappahannock River—where comfort, nature, and thoughtful design meet. This custom all-brick Colonial sits on 3.44 acres, directly across from the Rappahannock River Valley National Wildlife Refuge, offering sweeping river and wildlife views. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen features Silestone countertops, a spacious island for six, a Wolf 5-burner gas range with hood, stainless steel appliances, a butler’s pantry, and elegant tile floors. Whether preparing a meal or entertaining, the river views from the kitchen make it a favorite spot for gathering. The family room is designed for relaxation, with a see-through gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the water. In the primary suite, enjoy trey ceilings, hardwood floors, a wet bar, a see-through fireplace, a custom bath with oversized jetted tub, and your own sitting area—perfect for peaceful river views each morning. Host gatherings or quiet evenings on the brick terrace or covered porch. Launch your boat from the private covered boathouse, with electric and jet ski lifts, or head out for kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or just soaking in the sights of ospreys and bald eagles. The dock is perfect for lunch or enjoying sunrises and sunsets. Downstairs, a full basement offers storage, finished living spaces with a kitchenette, a full bath, and separate private access. The Savaria elevator connects all three levels. Upstairs, four large bedrooms with Jack-and-Jill baths welcome family and guests. The fenced wrought iron yard is ideal for pets or children, while the refuge across the street offers hiking and endless views. Located in Port Royal, you’re only 25 miles from Fredericksburg, 17 miles from the Massaponax VRE, 16 miles from Dahlgren, and about an hour from Richmond or DC—a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and easy access.
