Why this home stands out
At 2,800 square feet, this 1986-built home gives you genuine room to spread out — three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and the kind of square footage that accommodates a home office, a playroom, or a proper guest suite without anyone feeling crowded. The location quietly punches above its weight: two military installations within 15 minutes, green space under a mile away, and the full amenity corridor of Williamsburg just a short drive out.
KINGSMILL and the Williamsburg real estate market
Williamsburg carries a reputation that precedes it — colonial history, world-class tourism, and a livable small-city rhythm that residents genuinely enjoy day to day. The area around William Barksdale sits in the southeastern pocket of the city, close enough to the historic district and Route 60 corridor to feel connected, yet removed from the tourist bustle. Streets here tend to be quiet and tree-lined, with established homes from the 1980s and 1990s giving the area a settled, mature character. You're within easy reach of grocery anchors, dining along Richmond Road, and the broader New Town mixed-use district. Williamsburg also benefits from its position between Hampton Roads and Richmond, making it a genuine crossroads community — one where military families, retirees, and young professionals all find their footing. The city's parks system and greenway network add outdoor options that don't require a long drive, and the overall pace of life here tends to feel intentional rather than rushed.
What's nearby
Kingsmill Recreational Park and Kingsmill Recreational Soccer Park are both within 0.8 miles of the front door — a genuine convenience for families with kids in weekend leagues or anyone who wants a quick walk to open green space. Beyond those two anchors, the broader Kingsmill corridor connects to trails and waterfront scenery along the James River. Richmond Road (Route 60) puts grocery stores, pharmacies, and a full range of restaurants within a five-to-ten-minute drive. The College of William & Mary and the Williamsburg historic district are also close, adding cultural programming, farmers markets, and walkable streetscapes to your regular rotation.
