About This Home

797 Forest Grove Rd

Price improved—rare two‑lot property with garages and a sunroom. Charming one‑level home in Placid Bay Estates, set on two separate lots totaling nearly a half‑acre and offering flexibility for future use — Lot 26 may be buildable or separated. Inside, a spacious family room with cathedral ceilings and a propane fireplace serves as the central gathering space, complemented by a formal dining room and a bright sunroom that expands the living area. The property also includes two detached garages with three total bays, a workshop room, generous RV/boat parking, a fenced backyard, a storage shed, and two greenhouses. The roof was replaced in recent years, offering added peace of mind, and high‑speed internet is available for work or streaming. Outdoor living shines with a large deck and a gazebo/tiki‑bar area ideal for relaxing or hosting. Optional civic association membership provides access to the community boat ramp on Mattox Creek, leading to the Potomac River, along with lake access for swimming, fishing, and electric‑motor boating. Placid Bay Estates is a golf‑cart‑friendly, water‑access community just minutes from Colonial Beach, Dahlgren, wineries, and parks. This home blends practicality, personality, and water‑privilege living with investment upside. Sale is subject to court approval.
