Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms and 3,137 square feet give this 2014-built Carrollton home genuine room to grow. Whether that extra space becomes a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or a playroom depends entirely on you — the floor plan is flexible enough to handle all three without feeling crowded. The half-bath keeps the main living areas polished when company comes, and three full baths mean morning routines don't turn into a negotiation.
FOUNDERS POINTE and the Carrollton real estate market
Carrollton sits in Isle of Wight County on the western shore of the James River, connected to the rest of Hampton Roads by the James River Bridge. It has the feel of a quieter, more spread-out community — larger lots, less congestion, and a pace that's noticeably calmer than the urban core across the water. That said, you're not isolated. Newport News is a short bridge crossing away, and the broader Hampton Roads metro — with its hospitals, shopping corridors, and waterfront attractions — is well within reach on a typical evening.
The Carrollton, Virginia real estate market draws buyers who want suburban breathing room without sacrificing commute viability. Isle of Wight County is known for its stable, family-oriented communities, and Summerhouse Lane fits that profile well. Neighbors tend to be long-term residents, the streets are quiet, and the overall character of the area leans toward established and unhurried. If you've been eyeing the Hampton Roads region but want something a step removed from the density of Norfolk or Virginia Beach, Carrollton consistently earns a second look.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are easy from Summerhouse Lane. A Dollar General sits less than a mile away for quick household runs, and when you'd rather let someone else handle dinner, Bubba-N-Frank's Carrollton is right at the 0.9-mile mark — a local spot with a loyal following. Cone Slingers is just a mile out and makes for an easy after-dinner stop. The James River Bridge puts Newport News retail, dining, and services within a 10-to-15-minute drive, so anything the immediate neighborhood doesn't cover, the broader corridor handles without much effort.
