Why this home stands out
What sets 401 Piney Point Road apart is the combination of lot size and livable square footage that's genuinely hard to find at this zip code. At 2,662 square feet spread across four bedrooms and three full baths, there's room for everyone to spread out — and with more than half an acre outside, the yard has real potential for gardens, play space, or simply breathing room that tighter suburban lots can't offer.
PINEY POINT and the Yorktown real estate market
Yorktown sits at the northern tip of the Virginia Peninsula, where the York River meets the Chesapeake Bay watershed and history is literally built into the landscape. This is one of the most storied corners of Hampton Roads — the site of the final major battle of the American Revolution — yet daily life here feels unhurried and genuinely residential. Piney Point Road runs through a quiet, established section of York County where mid-century homes on large lots define the streetscape. Neighbors tend to know each other, lots are spacious, and the pace slows down the moment you turn off the main road. For anyone browsing homes for sale in Yorktown, this corridor offers something the newer subdivisions can't replicate: mature trees, generous setbacks, and a sense of place that took decades to develop. York County is consistently recognized for its quality of life, and this pocket of it delivers that reputation at a neighborhood scale.
