Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

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

At a glance

Meet 1796 Cypress Isle — a five-bedroom, five-full-and-two-half-bath estate spanning 7,380 square feet in Williamsburg, Virginia. Built in 2003, this substantial single-family home delivers grand-scale living in one of the Historic Triangle's most established settings, with Camp Peary and Fort Eustis both within a half-hour's drive.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Seven thousand three hundred eighty square feet is a rare find anywhere, and in Williamsburg it's genuinely uncommon. Five bedrooms, five full baths, and two half baths give every member of a large household — or a multi-generational family — real room to breathe. The 2003 build year hits a sweet spot: substantial enough to carry traditional architectural character, recent enough to reflect modern construction standards. If square footage per dollar is your measuring stick, this address deserves a close look among Williamsburg homes for sale.

GOVERNORS LAND and the Williamsburg real estate market

Williamsburg, Virginia carries a weight that few American cities can match — three centuries of history layered beneath a thoroughly livable modern city. The 23185 zip code puts you on the western side of town, close to the James City County line, where neighborhoods tend toward larger lots, mature tree canopies, and a quieter pace than the tourist corridor. Cypress Isle itself reads as an enclave address: the kind of street where homes sit well back from the road and neighbors tend to stay for years. The broader Williamsburg community wraps you in walkable colonial streetscapes, a thriving arts scene anchored by William & Mary, and an economy diverse enough to weather national cycles. Families comparing homes for sale in Williamsburg consistently note the city's rare combination of historic identity and genuine day-to-day livability — good restaurants, accessible healthcare, and a regional airport just minutes away at Newport News/Williamsburg International.

What's nearby

Daily life from Cypress Isle is well-supplied. Williamsburg Premium Outlets and the New Town mixed-use district cover major retail and dining within ten to fifteen minutes. The College of William & Mary campus and Colonial Williamsburg's historic district are a short drive east, offering museums, performances, and green space year-round. Busch Gardens Williamsburg sits roughly ten minutes south — a genuine perk for families. Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center provides close-in hospital access. For commuters, I-64 connects you westward toward Richmond or eastward toward Hampton Roads with multiple on-ramps reachable in under ten minutes.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary sits 28 minutes away and Joint Base Langley-Eustis (Fort Eustis) is about 32 minutes — both well within a typical PCS commute window. A VA loan can be a powerful tool for financing a home at this scale, and Williamsburg's stable market has historically rewarded buyers who plant roots here for a full tour or longer. Five bedrooms means deployments don't require anyone to double up.

For families upgrading

If your current home has outgrown your family, 7,380 square feet resets the ceiling entirely. Five bedrooms and seven bathrooms mean no morning traffic jams, dedicated homework space, and room for guests without anyone sleeping on a pullout. Families comparing homes for sale zoned for Jamestown High School and homes for sale zoned for Matoaka Elementary School will find this address falls within those attendance zones — a meaningful factor for long-term planning.
