Why this home stands out
Built in 2012, this home hits a sweet spot that older Newport News neighborhoods rarely offer — construction that's modern enough to sidestep the big-ticket surprises of an aging house, yet established enough that the surrounding streets have real character. At 2,565 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, there's genuine room to spread out, host, and still carve out a quiet corner for yourself. The half-bath on the main level is the kind of practical detail you appreciate every single day.
