288 Sanlin Dr, Newport News, VA 23602

Why this home stands out

At 2,581 square feet, 288 Sanlin Drive delivers notably more room than most mid-century homes in this zip code. The 1965 construction era brings solid bones and proportions you rarely find in newer builds — wider hallways, larger common areas, and a lot footprint that gives you real breathing room. Add a sub-ten-minute drive to Fort Eustis and you have a combination of size, era, and location that is genuinely hard to replicate among Newport News homes for sale.
