Why this home stands out
New construction in 2026 means everything — the roof, the systems, the finishes — is fresh from day one. With five bedrooms and a half bath on top of three full baths, this is a floor plan that genuinely fits a growing household without compromise. The square footage clears 3,000, giving you room to spread out, host, and still carve out a quiet corner when you need one.
WYNDHAM PLANTATION WEST and the Williamsburg real estate market
Williamsburg carries a reputation unlike almost anywhere else in Virginia. It's a city where eighteenth-century streetscapes sit alongside modern neighborhoods, and that layered character shapes daily life in subtle, satisfying ways. The area around 116 Wax Myrtle Drive sits in the broader Historic Triangle corridor — close enough to Colonial Williamsburg's energy to feel it, far enough from the tourist center to enjoy genuine residential calm. Streets here tend to be tree-lined and unhurried, and neighbors tend to stay for years. The city itself punches well above its size in terms of dining, culture, and outdoor access, drawing a mix of military families, academics, retirees, and young professionals. James City County's jurisdiction means solid infrastructure and well-maintained public spaces. Whether you're drawn by the history, the proximity to the water, or simply the quality of life that Williamsburg consistently delivers, this address puts you squarely in the middle of it.
