Why this home stands out
Five bedrooms in a single-family home built in the late 1990s is a combination that's genuinely hard to find among Newport News homes for sale at this square footage. The 2,778-square-foot floor plan gives large or multi-generational households room to spread out without sacrificing proximity to Joint Base Langley-Eustis — Fort Eustis is a straight ten-minute drive, and Langley AFB is reachable in about eighteen.
