Why this home stands out
At 3,483 square feet with three full baths and two half baths across three bedrooms, 105 Portland offers a layout that punches well above the typical square-footage-per-bedroom ratio you find in most Williamsburg homes for sale. That extra space shows up in the details — oversized living areas, multiple flex rooms, and bathrooms that never feel like an afterthought. Built in 2008, the bones are solid without the maintenance surprises that come with older colonial-era construction.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Williamsburg sits at the crossroads of Virginia history and modern livability, and the 23188 zip code captures some of the city's most comfortable residential pockets. The area around Portland Road carries a quiet, established character — mature trees, generous lot spacing, and neighbors who tend to stay for years. Ford's Colony Country Club is practically around the corner, lending a sense of resort-adjacent calm to everyday life without requiring a country-club lifestyle. Downtown Williamsburg's Colonial district, the College of William & Mary, and the Premium Outlets are all within a short drive, so you're never far from dining, culture, or a Saturday errand run. The broader James City County jurisdiction keeps property taxes and municipal services predictable, and the region's mix of history, water access, and economic diversity makes homes for sale in Williamsburg consistently appealing to a wide range of buyers.

When you want something quick, Krispy Krunchy Chicken and CHILL STOP are both within 0.7 miles for a fast bite or a cold treat.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary sits 18 minutes away and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown about 26 — both well within a comfortable commute window. The 3,483-square-foot floor plan handles the reality of military family life: a home office for remote duty days, guest space for visiting family, and enough room that a PCS move feels like an upgrade rather than a compromise. A VA loan pairs naturally with a property at this size and vintage.
