Why this home stands out
Homes with this combination of square footage, a pre-war build year, and proximity to both Camp Peary and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown are genuinely rare in the Williamsburg market. At 2,439 square feet across four bedrooms and three full baths, 704 Monumental Avenue gives you room to spread out without sacrificing the walkable, historically rich surroundings that make this city unlike anywhere else in Hampton Roads.
ALL OTHERS AREA 114 and the Williamsburg real estate market
Monumental Avenue sits in one of Williamsburg's older residential pockets, where mid-century bungalows and craftsman-era homes line streets shaded by mature trees. The area has a quiet, established feel — neighbors tend to stay for decades, and the sidewalks actually get used. You're close enough to the Colonial Williamsburg historic district to walk or bike over on a weekend afternoon, yet far enough from the tourist corridors that daily life stays calm and residential. Williamsburg itself is one of the most livable small cities in Virginia: a genuine mix of history, higher education, and a surprisingly robust dining and arts scene anchored by the College of William & Mary. James City County and the City of Williamsburg share jurisdiction in this area, which means solid infrastructure and well-maintained public spaces. Whether you're drawn here for the history, the community, or the commute to a nearby installation, 704 Monumental Avenue puts you at the center of it all.
