Why this home stands out
What sets this address apart is the combination of a generous 0.49-acre lot and a well-proportioned 1,958-square-foot floor plan — space inside and out that's genuinely hard to find at this size in Gloucester County. Built in 2007, the home hits a sweet spot between modern construction standards and an established neighborhood feel, all without the density of newer subdivisions closer to the coast.
ALL OTHERS AREA 120 and the Gloucester real estate market
Gloucester, Virginia carries a distinct character that's part small-town charm, part outdoor lifestyle, part military-adjacent practicality. The county seat sits along the York River, and the broader community has long attracted people who want elbow room without sacrificing convenience. The ALL OTHERS AREA 120 designation covers a wide swath of Gloucester County — think residential streets with mature trees, modest lot sizes that lean generous, and neighbors who actually know each other. If you've been searching for ranch style houses for sale near me and finding mostly tight suburban clusters, Gloucester tends to offer something different: properties with breathing room and a slower pace that doesn't feel remote. The town of Gloucester Courthouse is nearby for local dining, hardware, and services, while the Route 17 corridor connects you quickly to Yorktown, Newport News, and the broader Hampton Roads metro. Gloucester is also a short drive from the Colonial Parkway and the historic triangle, making weekends genuinely interesting.

A 7-Eleven is reachable at 0.7 and 0.8 miles for coffee and convenience runs, and McDonald's is under a mile out. It's a practical cluster of everyday stops that means you're rarely driving far for the basics.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Camp Peary is roughly 16 minutes from the front door, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is about 21 minutes out — both manageable commutes that keep your options open across assignments. A VA loan can be a strong fit for this property type and price range, and your BAH for the Gloucester area is worth running the numbers on before you decide.
For families upgrading
Nearly 2,000 square feet across a single-family layout on half an acre gives a growing household real room to spread out. The 2007 build year means systems and finishes are relatively modern, and the lot size opens up possibilities — garden space, play areas, a future deck — that tighter properties simply can't offer.
