Why this home stands out
Single-story living from 1965 carries a certain solidity that newer construction rarely matches — thicker walls, mature landscaping, and a lot with room to breathe. At 1,425 square feet across three bedrooms and two baths, the layout is efficient without feeling cramped. Gloucester Point's peninsula setting means you're never far from water, and the neighborhood itself has the kind of quiet, established character that takes decades to develop.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Gloucester Point real estate market
Gloucester Point sits on a narrow peninsula where the York River meets the Chesapeake Bay, giving this corner of Virginia a distinctly coastal personality without the resort-town crowds. The community has grown up around the water — fishing, crabbing, and kayaking are weekend routines here, not special occasions. Holly Drive itself is part of a low-key residential pocket where mid-century homes share streets with mature trees and neighbors who tend to stay put for years. Gloucester County governs this area, which means a slower pace of local governance and a strong sense of place. The Coleman Bridge connects Gloucester Point to Yorktown in minutes, putting Colonial-era history, waterfront dining, and everyday errands all within easy reach. Whether you're drawn by the water access, the commute to Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, or simply the appeal of a genuine small-town feel on the Virginia Peninsula, 1659 Holly Drive puts you right in the middle of it.
