Why this home stands out
Barclay Woods sits in one of Newport News' more established pockets — mature trees, consistent architecture from the mid-to-late 1990s, and streets that feel finished rather than still-figuring-it-out.

The half-bath adds practical flexibility for a home this size, and the 1997 build year puts you in a sweet spot of solid construction without the quirks of older homes.
