This Cape Cod on Melling Lane in Bowie's Meadowbrook section has been expanded with an addition off the back, giving it the open, connected layout so many older homes lack. A front porch and mudroom with a porthole window lead into a large living room with hardwood floors, wainscoting, and a gas fireplace with mantel. The dining room continues the hardwood and wainscoting and opens to the family room addition, which is also connects to the kitchen, so cooking, dinner, and downtime all happen in one shared space. The large galley kitchen has lots of cabinet storage, gas cooking, and a skylight for natural light.
The main level also includes two bedrooms with new carpet, a full hall bath, and laundry. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a second full bath, with hardwood floors throughout. Outside within the fully fenced backyard there is a large storage shed, brick patio and room for gardening, play, or cookouts. A front-load one-car garage completes the picture.
Belair at Bowie puts Meadowbrook Park, the Bowie Library, Giant, and MOM's close by, with Allen Pond Park, Bowie Town Center, and historic Belair Mansion just minutes away. Routes 50, 301, and 197 make for easy commutes to DC, Annapolis, and Baltimore, and the Bowie State MARC station is nearby.
