20 Winstead Dr, Irvington, VA 22480

They call it The Little Jewel Box—and once you see it, you’ll understand why. Nestled just beyond the gates of the Tides Inn, this light-filled, one-level cottage is a rare blend of charm, ease, and everyday beauty. Sunlight pours through vaulted ceilings and skylights, warming the living room’s gas fireplace and illuminating a layout that’s as flexible as it is inviting. There are two bedrooms plus a cozy den with its own full bath and private entrance—ideal for guests or a quiet retreat. The kitchen gleams with granite counters and stainless appliances, while a newly renovated bath adds modern comfort to the home’s timeless appeal. Step outside and you’re wrapped in professionally designed gardens, koi ponds, a storybook picket fence, and a front porch that’s made for iced tea and breezy evenings. A one-car garage, fresh paint inside and out, and meticulous care throughout complete the picture. Located just blocks from water access and the yacht club, this cottage lives beautifully as a weekend escape, an elegant downsize, or a full-time haven in the heart of Irvington.
