Price Improvement. Move-In Ready 3-Bedroom Home with Exceptional Entertaining Spaces! This one-of-a-kind property has updated bathrooms, new stove and dishwasher as well as new carpet upstairs. The former garage has been converted into a spacious den, complete with a solid-brick wood-burning fireplace and large bay window, creating a warm and inviting space for relaxing or entertaining. The screened-in back porch is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a built-in TV area, bar seating, and plenty of room for a sectional. Step from the porch onto the deck and enjoy the professionally installed 18-foot round above-ground pool, with a solar heater and saltwater filtration system—great for gatherings and relaxing at home. The backyard offers even more flexibility with a separate 16' x 20' detached garage, providing ample space for a workshop, storage, hobbies, or whatever best suits your needs. Additional features include granite countertops in the kitchen and custom tile in the bathrooms. This is a must see.
The Colony, located between Oyster Point Road and Jefferson Avenue, is a residential and commercial Newport News neighborhood with wooded streetscapes and mid-century subdivisions. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Oyster Point Road corridor near City Center at Oyster Point, where patios, coffee counters, and storefront dining set a steady, after-work rhythm. Nearby, the Ferguson Center for the Arts anchors the cultural calendar with touring performances and campus energy. Brick ranches and split-levels mix with newer townhome pockets, giving the streets a layered, lived-in look. Sidewalk loops and small greenspaces connect daily errands with short drives to the James River shoreline.
