Welcome to this lovely family home located in the Occoquan Forest neighborhood. This split level home has 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, large deck, 2-car garage, and more than a half acre of land. This welcoming home has a wide paved driveway, big garage, large front yard, and a tiered garden area with beautiful bushes. An additional highlight, the house has a new roof and heat pump, replaced in 2020 and 2023.
After entering the foyer and going upstairs, you will find the main living area with new hardwood oak floors and a beautiful, vaulted ceiling. The large windows let in a generous amount of natural light and offer amazing views of the forest. The living room offers an open concept to the kitchen and an entrance to the deck. The kitchen showcases warm cherry cabinets, granite countertops, bright ceramic tile, and stainless steel appliances. The large deck provides a great place for family events, outdoor dining, and a small herb garden, if desired. Walking through the hallway, you will see the pantry, coat, and linen closets; bathroom; and three bedrooms. The bedrooms also have oak floors and each have separate closets. The spacious master bedroom has a large 2-section closet, the attic entrance, and a private bathroom with marble flooring.
Downstairs, you will see new stone pattern vinyl flooring as you enter the family room. The family room is connected to the den, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, the mudroom, and a storage closet under the stairs. The bedrooms each have a dedicated closet and windows, and could be great for office spaces or study rooms. The den has large bookshelves and a fireplace, and is a nice, quiet area. It can be used as a library, home gym, or more. The den opens to the large garage, from which you can walk out to the backyard. The mudroom and bathroom both have granite tile floors, and the mudroom provides access to the laundry room.
The backyard is a peaceful oasis and is wonderful for kids' play. The backyard faces an OFOA shared woodland. You can walk through the shared woodland area to easily access the OFOA pink hiking trail leading to the OFOA waterside area. The hiking trails allow you to walk along the Occoquan reservoir and enjoy the forest. The Occoquan Forest Owners Association (OFOA) is a highlight of this neighborhood. The optional owners association provides a wealth of services for a fee of $240 annually, including hiking trails, pavilion, boat ramp, dock, playground, firepit, dog park, and monthly newsletters. OFOA also provides optional canoe/boat rack rentals for an additional $50 annually. The waterside OFOA pavilion area overlooks the serene and expansive Occoquan Reservoir and is used for occasional OFOA community events such as an annual summer picnic and ice cream social. The optional boat rack rentals provide the opportunity to put a kayak or canoe by the water so you can easily explore the river. Outside the neighborhood, there are many great places to enjoy nearby, including the Manassas, Clifton, and Occoquan downtown areas; the Signal Hill and Hemlock Overlook Regional parks; as well as everything Northern Virginia has to offer.
Altogether, this home provides plenty of space for a large family, a wonderful and serene residence, and is located in an amazing community and a unique neighborhood.
