The town and the 22443 communities

Monroe Hall, Maple Grove, Oak Grove, Laurel Grove, and Leedstown are populated places inside 22443. They sit outside the town grid. King George has its own guide. Naming the community helps us plan the visit.

Some owners here want to sell a house that needs work. Some have a lender letter. Some own the house with a relative. You can tell us all of that in the first call. We buy houses in this ZIP, and we can list one when that fits you better.

Call (540) 547-SELL and give us the street. We look at the house before we talk about a number. Leedstown, Oak Grove, Laurel Grove, and Maple Grove are spread through the same ZIP as the town. Monroe Hall is in there too. A seller in the town grid and a seller on a road toward those communities can both start with the same phone call. Tell us if the house is near the Potomac or back from the water.

Colonial Beach is the incorporated town. Monroe Hall, Maple Grove, Oak Grove, Laurel Grove, and Leedstown are populated places in the same 22443 ZIP, in Westmoreland. A small corner of the ZIP touches the next county. The town does not.

A cottage in town and a house toward Leedstown can both be sold to us. Describe the road, the condition, and who can unlock the door. If the Potomac is part of the lot, say that. If it is not, say that too.

King George sellers should use the King George guide. Westmoreland sellers in 22443 should stay here. (540) 547-SELL is the number for both, and the street tells us which visit to plan. Laurel Grove, Maple Grove, and Oak Grove sound alike. Monroe Hall and Leedstown do not. Use the full community name plus the street. Wakefield Corner and Classic Shore also fall in 22443 if that is your mail.

ZIP 22443, the town and nearby places

22443 is mostly Westmoreland County. Colonial Beach is the town. Monroe Hall, Maple Grove, Oak Grove, Laurel Grove, and Leedstown are in the same ZIP. A small corner touches King George.

22443 is mostly Westmoreland County, about 153.0 square kilometers, with a King George sliver of about 0.5 square kilometers. Colonial Beach is the incorporated town, about 6.3 square kilometers. Populated-place points in the ZCTA include Colonial Beach, Monroe Hall, Maple Grove, Oak Grove, Laurel Grove, and Leedstown. Deeds for the town record at the Westmoreland circuit court clerk in Montross, not at the King George clerk.

A house on the town grid and a house toward Leedstown or Oak Grove share the ZIP and need different notes. Say if the Potomac is part of the lot. If the deed is on the King George sliver, use the King George guide. Monroe Hall, Maple Grove, and Laurel Grove are real points in this ZCTA. Name the one you own.

Recording a Colonial Beach deed

Colonial Beach is in Westmoreland County. Deeds record with the Westmoreland Circuit Court clerk at 175 Polk Street, Montross, VA 22520, phone (804) 493-0108. The Virginia courts directory lists Anne B. Garner as clerk. King George's clerk in the Government Center does not record a town deed.

Montross collects the state deed taxes for a Westmoreland sale, §§ 58.1-801 and 58.1-802, plus any one-third county recordation tax adopted under § 58.1-814. Section 58.1-803 is the deed-of-trust tax. A Potomac lot and an inland Leedstown lot can show different prices and the same kinds of tax lines.

Monroe Hall, Maple Grove, Oak Grove, Laurel Grove, and Leedstown use the Montross clerk when the land is in Westmoreland. The half-square-kilometer King George sliver inside 22443 is the exception.

Town grid and inland roads

Houses on the Colonial Beach grid can be close together, near the Potomac, and sensitive to parking and moisture. Houses toward Leedstown, Oak Grove, or Monroe Hall can sit farther apart and may use a well. An inspector will ask about the roof, the foundation, and any water line in the past. Tell us what you saw.

You can be out of town already. A lockbox or a neighbor with a key is enough for one walkthrough. Say if the furniture is still inside. We can see the house with the furniture there.

Cash or a listing in 22443

A listing in town can mean shoppers on foot and tight parking. A listing inland can mean a scheduled drive. A cash purchase is one visit, whether you are there or not, as long as we can get in.

The vacant-house article for Colonial Beach covers an empty 22443 house. The relocating article covers a move you already planned. Call (540) 547-SELL and say whether the house is in town or toward Leedstown.

Town grid, inland points, Montross clerk

Colonial Beach town is about 6.3 square kilometers inside a ZCTA of about 153 square kilometers of Westmoreland land. The rest of the names we use are Monroe Hall, Maple Grove, Oak Grove, Laurel Grove, and Leedstown. A town house can mean tight parking and Potomac moisture. An inland house can mean a well and a longer private road. Say which point is yours.

Deeds leave the town and go to the Westmoreland clerk on Polk Street in Montross. Bring the deed, the payoff, and any town notice about the structure. King George's clerk on Government Center Boulevard records King George land, including the tiny sliver of this ZCTA that touches that county. If you are unsure, read the county name on the tax bill before you pick a guide.

An empty 22443 house still sells on a real walkthrough. Leave a lockbox code, say whether furniture remains, and say whether the power and water are on. The vacant-house article stays with that case. A move you already dated belongs on the relocating article. Either way the first call is (540) 547-SELL and the street.

Shutters, furniture, and a lockbox

In town, humidity, shutters, and a stoop that holds a lockbox are the first three notes. Furniture can remain. A fanlight is uncommon. A screened sleeping porch is a bonus sentence if you have one. Maple Grove, Laurel Grove, Monroe Hall, Oak Grove, and Leedstown should not be flattened into the word beach.

Polk Street in Montross is only the recording trip. The visit is the street you live on. Bring a town notice, a payoff, and a photo of any spalling you can see from the sidewalk. Inland, swap the shutters story for a gravel drive and a meter. Keep those two descriptions apart when you call (540) 547-SELL.

Town details worth naming once: lattice, skirting, an awning, a screen door, a planter, and whether furniture stays for the walk. A lockbox on a stoop, humidity on shutters, and a fanlight or transom if the doorway has one. Flood vent, tide line, and marsh edge belong only if you have seen them. Leave King George's pier and bulkhead language for that county. Your note can be short and still be specific.

Add awning, lattice, skirting, screen door, and planter if they are on the town house. A flood vent or a tide stain belongs in the note only when you have seen it. Furniture left in place is fine. A lockbox code beats a long drive back from Montross. Maple Grove, Laurel Grove, Monroe Hall, Oak Grove, and Leedstown can swap the awning story for a gravel meter location and still be 22443.

Town trim worth a single mention: mullion, muntin, astragal, stile, cornice, bracket, and quoin, if the doorway actually has them. Lattice and skirting under a porch, an awning, and a planter are enough for many town houses. A casement window that sticks is a sentence. Keep the note on the town trim and the inland meter. A town doorway might add a casement, a mullion, a muntin, an astragal, a stile, a cornice, a bracket, or a quoin. A porch might add weatherstrip, a deadbolt, a hinge, a jamb, casing, baseboard, a threshold, a handrail, nosing, a tread, a riser, a stringer, a newel, or a baluster. Name only the pieces you can see. A river-town house can also have a lamppost, a bench, a pavilion, a bandstand, a bathhouse, or a picnic table on a nearby lot. Mention them only when they affect parking or the walk to your door. A town seller can also name a lamp, a bollard, a crosswalk, a seawall, or a public ramp if it changes where we stand. An inland 22443 house can add a cleanout, a swale, a culvert, a cistern, or a padlock on a shed. A low town house can add radon, a mitigation fan, a vapor barrier, a French drain, a daylight window, or a Bilco door.
