Beautiful home in the lovely Bowie community of Gradys Walk! Please note: the above grade square feet in the tax records is not accurate. The above grade square footage is 1,931 (first & second floor) and the basement is finished also - approximately 1,000 square feet. See appraisal drawing in Documents. Situated on a gorgeous, almost half acre lot, this distinctive home has been meticulously maintained and beautifully updated by the original owners! It has been freshly & professionally painted throughout and is truly move-in ready! Enter along the custom paver walkway & brick steps to the wide front porch into the spacious foyer with wood flooring and a convenient coat closet! Turning to your left, enter into the formal living room and dining room with crowning molding, chair railing, and a gorgeous bay window in the dining room over looking the park like backyard! The exquisite kitchen was just completely remodeled with white cabinets, stainless steel GE Profile appliances, beautiful quartz countertops, recessed lighting and plenty of room for casual family dining also! ! From the spacious kitchen you enter the lovely family room with a cozy wood burning fireplace & elegant mantle! Conveniently located between the kitchen and the HUGE 2 car garage is the laundry room, "drop zone" and also the updated powder room! The upper level provides a wonderful primary bedroom retreat with a beautiful, completely remodeled primary bathroom, walk in closet with custom shelving plus a second closet with even more shelving! The two secondary bedrooms are spacious and adorable with the dormer windows and they have nice spacious closets too! The hall bathroom was just completely remodeled as well - it is gorgeous! The stairway in the kitchen leads to the awesome finished basement with a half wall of beautiful paneling, a spacious recreation room, two additional rooms with closets that could be additional bedrooms or a home office plus a half bath as well! There is a back door to the exterior, walkup stairway to the backyard also! This home also features a gorgeous, custom screened in (16x20) back porch with new screening all around! Fair warning, you may not want to leave this back porch -- it is amazing! From the porch, step down to the custom, expansive brick paver patio with a walkway all the way around the side of the house back to the driveway! The backyard is like your private park! It has been thoughtfully and carefully designed with over 15 varieties of trees and flowering shrubs -- color almost year round to enjoy! The huge storage shed in the back is also well maintained and the owners are leaving the neatly stacked cut firewood for you too! Additional updates include, replacement windows, updated garage doors, a new roof in 2019 and an underground sprinkler system in the front and back yard! The water heater is about 5 years old & a new sump pump! The HVAC system has been well maintained and recently certified also! Please check out the City of Bowie website to see all this wonderful community has to offer including 3 swimming & tennis clubs you can join, numerous parks, the Bowie Baysox minor league baseball stadium and so much more! Bowie provides quick access to commuter routes to Washington, D.C. Baltimore, Annapolis and also the University of Maryland, Ft. Meade and the NASA Goddard Center to name a few! It's all here, the complete package and better than new!
