Why this home stands out
At just under 6,934 square feet, this 2001-built home sits in a category of its own for Williamsburg. Five bedrooms and four full baths give large or multigenerational households real breathing room, and the footprint supports flexible use — dedicated home offices, guest suites, media rooms, or workout space — without anyone feeling like they're on top of each other.
ALL OTHERS AREA 117 and the Williamsburg real estate market
Barretts Ferry Drive sits in the 23185 zip code, one of Williamsburg's established residential corridors where mature tree canopy and quiet streets define the day-to-day feel. Williamsburg itself occupies a unique position in Hampton Roads — it carries genuine colonial history, a walkable downtown district, and a pace of life that feels distinctly unhurried compared to the more urban cores of Norfolk or Virginia Beach. James City County jurisdiction means residents interact with a local government that has consistently prioritized managed growth and green space. The broader neighborhood fabric here is made up of single-family homes on generous lots, and the area has long attracted buyers who want space without sacrificing proximity to culture, dining, and employment. Whether you're drawn to the living history of Colonial Williamsburg, the energy of the College of William & Mary, or simply a community where neighbors know each other by name, the 23185 corridor delivers.

Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Water Country USA are close enough to be a genuine lifestyle perk, not just a novelty. Greensprings Greenway Trail offers miles of paved walking and cycling paths. The College of William & Mary campus adds bookstores, performing arts venues, and a lively café scene just a few minutes away.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 28 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown sits about 33 minutes out — both very manageable commutes from Barretts Ferry Drive. For families using a VA loan, a home of this size and vintage can represent exceptional purchasing power. Five bedrooms means everyone gets their own space, and Williamsburg's stable community makes PCS transitions noticeably smoother.
For families upgrading
If your current home has everyone sharing bathrooms and fighting over desk space, 6,934 square feet changes the conversation entirely. Five bedrooms give teenagers, guests, and home-office needs their own dedicated zones. Four full baths means school-morning chaos becomes a memory. Homes at this scale in Williamsburg don't come up often, and when they do, families who've been waiting tend to move quickly.
