Why this home stands out
What makes 955 Ivystone Way stand out is the rare combination of everyday convenience and military-base access that few Newport News addresses can match. A Kroger sits 0.3 miles away, a Starbucks is just as close, and three distinct restaurants are literally around the corner. For a 1999-built home with over 1,600 square feet, the layout delivers practical living without the sprawl — and the commute math to both Langley and Fort Eustis is genuinely hard to beat.
