Why this home stands out
With 3,400 square feet spread across four bedrooms and three and a half baths, this 1988-built home gives you genuine room to grow. The scale here is hard to match in this part of Williamsburg — generous living areas, a practical layout that has stood the test of decades, and a location that puts Ford's Colony Country Club literally steps from your front door. There's a lot to love about having that kind of amenity access without a long commute to reach it.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Williamsburg carries a rare combination of living qualities: colonial history, a walkable downtown corridor, and a surrounding landscape of mature trees and well-kept residential streets. The 23188 zip code sits on the western side of the city, where neighborhoods tend to be quieter and more spread out — the kind of area where you recognize your neighbors and the streets feel genuinely settled. Ford's Colony is one of the most recognized communities in this corridor, anchoring the area with a country club, golf courses, and a consistent sense of place. Families comparing homes for sale in Williamsburg often find this part of the city appealing precisely because it balances suburban calm with easy access to Colonial Williamsburg, William & Mary, and the broader Peninsula. James City County jurisdiction means you're in a well-resourced local government area with strong infrastructure and services. Daily life here is grounded and comfortable — the kind of place people move to and stay.
