Why this home stands out
Seaford sits on a quiet peninsula between the York River and Poquoson, and Purgold Road is the kind of address that rewards buyers who know the area. At 2,930 square feet, this 1963-built home gives you genuine room to spread out — four bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath — without the density of a newer subdivision. The lot, the era, and the location combine in a way that's genuinely hard to replicate in York County.
About the Seaford real estate market
Seaford is a small, water-adjacent community tucked into the southern tip of York County, Virginia, between the York River to the north and the Back River to the south. It has the feel of a place that hasn't been in a hurry for decades — wide lots, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay. The zip code 23696 covers a tight geography, which means homes for sale in 23696 tend to draw buyers who have specifically sought this pocket out, not stumbled into it. Yorktown is just up the road, bringing colonial history, waterfront dining, and the Riverwalk Landing area within easy reach. The broader Hampton Roads region — Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg — fans out from here in every direction, giving Seaford residents real access to a metro area without living inside one.
What's nearby

York River State Park, about 20 minutes northwest, offers hiking and kayak launches along the York River. Newport News and Hampton are accessible via Route 17 or I-64 for dining, medical centers, and entertainment.
