Why this home stands out
What sets 4555 Mallard Drive apart is its position in Gloucester County — a jurisdiction that trades suburban density for elbow room, mature trees, and a slower pace without sacrificing commute practicality. The 1987 construction puts it in a generation of homes built with straightforward floor plans and solid bones. Three bedrooms and two full baths in 1,344 square feet means every room earns its keep, and the overall footprint is easy to maintain without feeling cramped.
CARTERS COVE and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia sits on the Middle Peninsula, tucked between the York River to the south and the Piankatank River to the north. It's the kind of place where neighbors actually wave, where you can find a farmers market on the courthouse green, and where the drive to work doesn't come with gridlock as a side dish. The county seat — Gloucester Court House — carries genuine colonial-era character, with a historic district that anchors the community without turning it into a museum piece. The Mallard Drive address places you in a residential pocket of Gloucester that feels removed from the noise of busier corridors while keeping you connected to Route 17, the county's main artery north toward Yorktown and south toward the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge. For anyone searching for Gloucester VA homes for sale, this address represents exactly the kind of understated, livable setting the county is known for — real community, real quiet, real proximity to the water and the outdoors.
