Listing details
A unique opportunity to embrace the historic charm & character of this 1910 home! A handsome, local example of the Dutch Colonial architectural style, this fascinating conversation piece has been a pillar of Old Town Bowie since William Howard Taft was president. The property offers a wealth of authentic, period details, such as original hardwood flooring, ornamental exterior shingling and crafted interior millwork – including the doors, balusters, stairs, moldings & window frames. But also included are several important, modern updates to make things more comfortable for new stewards of the property. These include an updated kitchen and bathroom, a new roof & gutter system (2025), zoned heat & air conditioning, a laundry room addition and a nifty & convenient office space that’s perfect for working from home. Owners will appreciate other unique aspects of the property as well. It is located a short walk from the Old Town Bowie Welcome Center, the Bowie Railroad Museum, the Huntington Community Center, and 10th Street Heritage Park. Arched gable windows, a stairwell oriel window and a living room bay window bring plenty of natural light to the interior. And on the upper floor, the renovated bathroom boasts an antique claw-foot tub, wainscoting and updated vanity & plumbing fixtures. The large front porch and the screened rear porch offer ideal opportunities for reading a book or taking an afternoon nap. The rear paver patio – located just off the kitchen – provides a great place for a summer barbecue. Kids and gardeners will love the large, shaded lot, which features a gardening shed, and a host of mature trees & flowering shrubs. As with most historic homes, maintaining a property as special as this requires love and attention. Indeed, enthusiastic new owners with handyman skills may appreciate contributing to its upkeep and renewal. For buyers seeking to be a part of the story of a truly historic property, though, this is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to make your mark on a home with amazing character, aesthetics and charm!
