Why this home stands out

At 3,670 square feet, this 2002-built home gives you room to actually spread out — four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and enough square footage that everyone in the house can claim their own corner. The 0.26-acre lot is large enough to enjoy without becoming a weekend project. The Powhatan Secondary neighborhood in James City County keeps you close to Williamsburg's best without putting you in the middle of the tourist corridor.

POWHATAN SECONDARY JCC and the Williamsburg real estate market

Powhatan Secondary sits in James City County, one of the most sought-after addresses in the greater Williamsburg area. The neighborhood has a settled, established feel — mature trees, well-kept streets, and a community that's been here long enough to have real character. Homes here tend to be generously sized, and the lots give neighbors a comfortable buffer from one another. If you've been browsing houses for sale williamsburg va, you've probably noticed that Powhatan Secondary consistently shows up as one of the more desirable pockets — and once you spend time here, it's easy to see why. Williamsburg itself is a city that punches well above its weight: colonial history and world-class attractions sit alongside a genuinely livable, small-city infrastructure. James City County adds another layer of appeal with strong public services and a landscape that still feels green and open even as the area has grown.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from 215 N Benjamin Howell Street. Powhatan Bar & Grill is just half a mile away — a quick trip for dinner without the drive. Historic Grounds Coffee House is 0.6 miles out, and if you prefer Starbucks, that's under a mile in the other direction. Target Grocery at 0.9 miles handles most of your weekly shopping runs without any highway time. Kidsburg Dog Park is also at the 0.9-mile mark, making it a genuine neighborhood amenity for dog owners. Everything you need on a typical day is within a single mile of your front door.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Camp Peary is 18 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is a 24-minute drive — both well within the range most military families target. A VA loan can make a home this size more accessible than you might expect, and BAH rates in the Williamsburg area are worth running the numbers on. Four bedrooms gives you the flexibility to accommodate a home office, a guest room, or a growing family.

For families upgrading

If your current home has you bumping into walls, 3,670 square feet is a meaningful step up. Four bedrooms means everyone gets their own space, and the half-bath keeps the main living areas from turning into a traffic jam on busy mornings. The quarter-acre lot in Powhatan Secondary gives kids room to be outside without requiring you to manage a sprawling property. This is the kind of home that tends to fit a family for a long time.
