Why this home stands out
What sets 109 Marion apart is the combination of scale and setting that Ford's Colony delivers so well: a 0.42-acre lot gives you genuine breathing room, while the 3,495 square feet of living space means everyone in the household has a place to spread out. Built in 2004, the home hits that sweet spot where construction quality is solid and the floor plan reflects how people actually live — not a cramped colonial-era footprint, but not a cookie-cutter production build either.
FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market
Ford's Colony is one of the most recognized addresses in Williamsburg, and for good reason. The community is gated, golf-cart friendly, and anchored by a well-regarded country club with multiple golf courses, tennis, and dining — amenities that residents actually use rather than just photograph for the brochure. Tree-lined streets, mature landscaping, and architectural consistency give the neighborhood a cohesive, unhurried character that holds up year after year. If you've been browsing homes for sale williamsburg va and keep circling back to Ford's Colony, you're not alone — it consistently draws buyers who want both lifestyle and long-term stability in one address. Williamsburg itself layers on everything else: Colonial Williamsburg, William & Mary, a walkable arts scene, and a surprisingly strong restaurant culture for a city its size. James City County handles jurisdiction here, which matters for services and tax structure. The overall package — gated community, established neighborhood bones, and a city with genuine cultural depth — is hard to replicate anywhere else on the Peninsula.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from 109 Marion. Settlers Market, a well-stocked retail corridor along Monticello Avenue, puts groceries, pharmacy options, and a solid lineup of casual dining within about five minutes.

Williamsburg's Historic Area and Duke of Gloucester Street are a short drive east when you want a walk, a meal, or a weekend afternoon with out-of-town guests. Jamestown Beach and the James City County recreational parks fill out the outdoor options, and Interstate 64 access keeps Richmond and Norfolk both under an hour when you need to range further.
