About This Home
A historically significant gem in the heart of Hilton, just one block from the James River. Designed by renowned architect Frosty Coile, this Colonial-style home showcases heart pine floors, original millwork, formal living and dining rooms, and a wood-burning fireplace—preserving the charm of a bygone era. The brick driveway is crafted from reclaimed Colonial Williamsburg materials. Thoughtful updates include fully renovated upstairs baths (new primary bathroom), new double-hung vinyl windows, new carpet, full-home HVAC system, new deck, and brand-new appliances. Nestled in one of Newport News’ most storied neighborhood with sidewalks.
