Why this home stands out
What sets 134 Tanbark Lane apart is the land. At 1.71 acres, you get genuine breathing room that's genuinely rare this close to Williamsburg's core — space for a garden, a firepit, or simply a backyard that doesn't end at your neighbor's fence. Pair that with a four-bedroom footprint spread across 2,480 square feet, and you have a property that delivers both indoor comfort and outdoor freedom in equal measure.
ELMWOOD and the Williamsburg real estate market
ELMWOOD is a quiet, established residential pocket in James City County just outside the heart of Williamsburg, Virginia. The streets here are lined with mature trees, and the lots run generously — 134 Tanbark Lane's 1.71 acres is a strong example of what drew families to this area in the first place. Homes in ELMWOOD tend to be solidly built products of the 1970s and early 1980s, giving the neighborhood a settled, unhurried character that newer subdivisions rarely replicate. If you're exploring city of williamsburg real estate and want acreage alongside proximity to Colonial Williamsburg, Route 60, and Interstate 64, ELMWOOD delivers that balance. James City County governance means you benefit from county tax rates while still being minutes from everything the city offers — restaurants, historic sites, arts venues, and a surprisingly robust local economy anchored by tourism, education, and defense.
