Pond & Fairway Views Await at 230 Par Drive in Ford’s Colony
By John Womeldorf, a.k.a. Mr. Williamsburg
If you’ve been waiting for the right townhome to hit the market in Ford’s Colony, this is it. Tucked into the highly desirable and rarely available Links section, 230 Par Drive is a beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offering elegant, low-maintenance living — with peaceful pond and golf course views right from your backyard.
These townhomes are few and far between, and this one checks all the boxes: a first-floor primary suite, updated interiors, flexible loft space, and a fenced brick patio that might just become your favorite “room” in the house.
Natural Light, Open Spaces, and Classic Comfort
Step inside and you’re greeted by a flood of natural light from skylights and large windows. The spacious two-story great room features a cozy gas fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and vaulted ceilings — perfect for relaxing evenings or entertaining friends.
The adjacent white kitchen offers timeless style and modern convenience, with updated appliances, ample cabinet space, and a sunny breakfast nook with a built-in desk. It’s bright, welcoming, and laid out for real everyday living.
A formal dining room with crown molding and elegant lighting provides room for hosting holiday dinners or game nights with neighbors.
A Spacious, Livable Layout That Works for Real Life
This thoughtfully designed townhome offers a total of 2,064 square feet, with an open, functional layout that makes daily living effortless and entertaining easy.
On the main level (1,375 sq. ft.), the spacious living room (18’7” x 16’1”) anchors the rear of the home, providing a sunny retreat with views out to the patio and golf course. Just off the living room is the primary bedroom (12’1” x 16’1”), tucked away for privacy and featuring a walk-in closet and a beautifully updated en-suite bath.
The kitchen (12’1” x 14’10”) flows directly into the front dining room (12’3” x 14’10”), which offers plenty of room to host — or could double as a sitting area, den, or home office.
Convenient extras include a laundry room with utility sink (7’1” x 4’4”), a guest powder room, and multiple hall closets for storage.
🏡 First Floor Layout
Upstairs Retreat with Oversized Loft & Private Suite
The second floor (689 sq. ft.) includes a spacious guest bedroom measuring 12’1” x 21’3”, complete with an en-suite bath and an additional full bath off the hall. But what truly sets this level apart is the expansive loft (18’7” x 25’5”) — a dramatic open-to-below area that overlooks the living room.
With ample space for a library, office, yoga studio, or art room, this loft adapts beautifully to whatever lifestyle you lead. The architectural interest of the vaulted ceilings and upper-level windows brings even more light and character into the home.
🛌 Second Floor Layout
Private Patio with a Pond & Golf View
Step out onto your fenced brick patio, where mature landscaping surrounds a peaceful space overlooking the pond and golf course. It’s a serene setting for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening wine with friends. A small outdoor storage shed offers a convenient place for garden tools, bikes, or golf equipment.
A Rare Find in The Links
The Links section of Ford’s Colony offers the charm of single-family living with the ease of a townhome. While these homes do not include garages, they more than make up for it with thoughtful layouts, generous square footage, and serene surroundings.
The HOA covers all exterior maintenance, giving you true lock-and-leave freedom — whether this is your full-time residence or your second home in Williamsburg.
