Why this home stands out
What sets 3801 Craven Circle apart is the generous square footage for a two-bedroom layout — 1,534 square feet gives you real breathing room that smaller postwar homes rarely offer. The 1940 construction era means solid craftsmanship and proportions you simply don't find in newer builds, all on a street that sits within single-digit minutes of two major military installations.
