Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths across more than 3,200 square feet gives this home a footprint that's genuinely hard to find at this size in the Williamsburg market. Built in 1995, it hits a sweet spot — old enough to have mature landscaping and established neighborhood character, but recent enough that the bones are solid and the layout reflects how families actually live. There's real room here for a home office, a guest suite, and everyday life to coexist without compromise.
HOLLY HILLS and the Williamsburg real estate market
Yorkshire Drive sits within Williamsburg, one of Virginia's most historically significant and livable cities. The surrounding streets have the feel of an established residential neighborhood — mature trees, quiet traffic, and neighbors who tend to stay a while. Williamsburg itself balances its colonial identity with a genuinely modern lifestyle: you're never far from good restaurants, independent shops, and the kind of walkable historic district that most cities spend decades trying to recreate. James City County provides the jurisdiction here, which means solid infrastructure and a community that takes long-term planning seriously. The broader Peninsula corridor connects you west toward Richmond and east toward the Hampton Roads metro, making 217 Yorkshire Drive a practical base for commuters in multiple directions. Whether you're drawn to the history, the pace of life, or simply the quality of the neighborhoods, Williamsburg has a way of feeling like exactly the right place to put down roots.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from Yorkshire Drive. The Williamsburg Premium Outlets and New Town shopping district are both within a short drive, covering groceries, dining, and retail in one pass. For green space, Waller Mill Park offers trails, a reservoir, and room to decompress without leaving the city. The Colonial Williamsburg historic area is just minutes away — an asset that never gets old, whether you're hosting out-of-town guests or just want a Saturday afternoon with some perspective. The College of William & Mary is nearby as well, adding cultural events, athletics, and a steady energy to the surrounding community.
