Morattico. Build in 1895, this recently architect-renovated 3 BR/2 BA home blends Queen Anne charm with modern updates. It features a stainless steel and granite kitchen, updated baths, and a vaulted great River Room with full water views. New heat pumps and all new duct work throughout. The primary bedroom has a private balcony overlooking the water.
Set on 2.25 open acres, the property includes a detached building suitable for upgrade to an office/artist's studio and the home also has a screened riverfront cabana. A short walk to the Morattico Waterfront Museum. Nearby Belle Isle State Park offers trails and water access. Easy access to the Chesapeake Bay.
The area goes back to Captain John Smith in the early 1600's and the Indian tribe of Morattico. Bring your kayaks, paddleboards, or jet ski and explore the wide water leading to the Chespeake Bay. Homes like this do not come along often. "Whealton" is more than a home- it is a place to belong, to return to, and to experience the timeless beauty of life along the waterfront.
Water views over a tidal pond with sightlines to the Rappahannock River. Main home is set back from direct waterfront. No known flooding history per FEMA records.
