Why this home stands out
What sets 801 Gloucester Street apart is the combination of a well-established 1940s neighborhood with genuine everyday convenience. Groceries are literally steps away, green space is under a mile in multiple directions, and two major military installations are each within a 12-minute drive. For a single-bath, three-bedroom home of this era, the square footage — 1,642 — gives you real room to breathe.
