Why this home stands out
At 4,490 square feet, this 1997-built home gives you genuine room to spread out — four bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath across a layout that can flex for a home office, a playroom, or a dedicated guest suite. The scale here is hard to match in this price tier of Williamsburg, and the location puts two military installations within a ten-minute drive without sacrificing any of the city's historic charm.
KINGSMILL and the Williamsburg real estate market
Williamsburg occupies a singular place in Virginia — it's a working city wrapped around one of the country's most celebrated historic districts, yet it functions as a genuinely livable, modern community. The area around John Browning sits on the eastern edge of the city, close to the James City County line, where residential streets give way quickly to parkland and the James River corridor. Neighbors here tend to value the quieter pace without being far from anything. Kingsmill Road connects you to Route 60 in minutes, putting grocery runs, medical offices, and the broader Peninsula within easy reach. For buyers who have searched for homes for sale near nas oceana and found Virginia Beach prices steep, Williamsburg offers a compelling alternative — competitive square footage, strong infrastructure, and a commute to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown that beats most Hampton Roads drives. The city's colonial identity adds genuine character to daily life: brick sidewalks, mature trees, and a walkable downtown that feels nothing like a suburb.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy here. Wareham's Pond Recreation Center is just 0.2 miles away — a quick walk when you want a workout without the commute.

The Mill coffee shop is 0.8 miles away, and Private Resort Kingsmill Park is at the same distance — two reasons to make the short drive toward the river on a slow morning.
