Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

117 Ainsdale in Williamsburg's 23188 zip delivers 3,224 square feet of well-proportioned living across three bedrooms and two and a half baths in a 2001-built home — the kind of address that anchors homes for sale in 23188 with genuine substance.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 117 Ainsdale apart is the sheer scale of space relative to its setting. At 3,224 square feet, this 2001-built home gives every household member room to spread out without sacrificing the cohesive, connected feel of a well-designed floor plan. Add in proximity to Ford's Colony's amenities and two military installations within a half-hour drive, and the picture comes into focus quickly.

FORDS COLONY and the Williamsburg real estate market

Williamsburg carries a reputation that precedes it — colonial history, tree-lined corridors, and a civic identity that feels genuinely cared for. The 23188 zip code sits on the western edge of the city, where residential streets give way to mature landscaping and a noticeably quieter pace. Ford's Colony is one of the area's most recognized planned communities, and Ainsdale sits within that orbit, benefiting from the manicured surroundings without requiring a country-club membership to enjoy the neighborhood's character. If you're comparing Williamsburg homes for sale, the combination of square footage, setting, and access to both Colonial Williamsburg's cultural core and the broader Peninsula corridor is a hard combination to replicate elsewhere in James City County.

What's nearby

Daily life around 117 Ainsdale keeps things close and convenient. Murdoch's at Ford's Colony is less than a mile away — a reliable neighborhood restaurant for weeknight dinners or weekend gatherings. Ford's Colony Country Club sits at the same distance if fitness and recreation are on your list. When you want to get outside, Tutter's Mill Pond is 0.7 miles away for a quiet walk around the water, and Windsor Forest Recreational Park is just 0.6 miles out, though it operates on a members-only basis. Broader shopping and dining along Richmond Road rounds out the picture for everyday errands.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary is 17 minutes from the front door, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 24 minutes out — both well within a practical daily commute. The home's 3,224 square feet handles PCS moves with ease, giving families the flexibility to grow into the space rather than outgrow it. A VA loan makes this size of home even more accessible for eligible buyers.

For families upgrading

Three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and 3,224 square feet give upgrading families the breathing room they've been looking for. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Lafayette High School and homes for sale zoned for D.J. Montague Elementary School will find 117 Ainsdale sits squarely in that attendance zone, with the added bonus of Ford's Colony's walkable amenities just down the road.
