Why this home stands out
Square footage is the headline here — 3,383 square feet gives you room to grow, work from home, host guests, and still carve out quiet corners for everyone. Built in 1991, the home carries the solid construction hallmarks of that era: generous room proportions, a traditional layout, and a footprint that's genuinely hard to find at this size in the Williamsburg market. Four bedrooms and three full baths means nobody is sharing a bathroom they don't want to.
KINGSMILL and the Williamsburg real estate market
Fairfax Way sits within Williamsburg, a city that carries more history per square mile than almost anywhere else in the country. You're living alongside Colonial Williamsburg, the College of William & Mary, and a downtown corridor that draws visitors from across the world — yet day-to-day life here feels grounded and genuinely livable. The surrounding area has a mature, established feel: tree-lined streets, well-kept homes, and a community that takes pride in its surroundings. Williamsburg's location in the Virginia Peninsula puts you within reasonable reach of both the Hampton Roads metro and Richmond, making it a practical base for commuters who don't want to sacrifice quality of life. The city itself offers a walkable historic district, a strong local dining scene, and outdoor recreation along the James and York Rivers. It's a place that rewards people who want more than just a house — they want a setting.
What's nearby
Within a mile of 636 Fairfax Way, you'll find Kingsmill Recreational Park and Kingsmill Recreational Soccer Park — both about 0.8 miles out and ideal if you have kids in youth sports or simply want green space nearby for a weekend afternoon. The broader Williamsburg area fills in the rest of the picture: grocery options, pharmacies, coffee shops, and restaurants are all accessible without a long drive. Camp Peary is roughly 12 minutes away, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 14 minutes — a practical commute window for service members stationed at either installation.
