Why this home stands out
What sets 33 Patton Drive apart is the combination of mid-century bones and genuine everyday convenience. Three full bedrooms and two baths give you real flexibility. The 1960 build era means solid construction and generous room proportions you don't always find in newer tract homes. Schooners Grill is two-tenths of a mile away, and three grocery options sit within a mile. That kind of walkable access is uncommon in this part of Newport News.
