12016 Long Ridge Ln, Bowie, MD 20715

Rare Country Clubber now available in the sought-after Long Ridge neighborhood of Bowie. With only two or three homes going on the market in this neighborhood per year, sometimes less, Long Ridge is an established neighborhood boasting manicured lawns, mature tree-lined streets and true pride of ownership. Originally designed as Bowie’s most centrally available neighborhood, you’re only one left or right turn away from either Rt 50, Rt 450, or Rt 197 shaving at least five to sometimes fifteen minutes from your commute, each way. This home, like many others on its street, has rarely changed hands. It was sold to its current owners just a year after it was originally built and it has been in their loving care ever since, giving it the unique character of almost being in the same hands from day one. This will surely help ensure future homeowners will not face large surprise repair burdens. Of the decades of care, some impressive upgrades include original window replacements, upgraded siding, new roof and gutters (2019), new HVAC and water heater (2018), Pergo floors in foyer and kitchen and an upgraded electrical system that's much more current with modern safety standards (2020). Each upgrade has been performed by reputable contractors completing the major structural components of the home while still preserving the timeless classic charm of this near-original-owner home. With very large bedrooms, including a primary suite on the first level, there is no compromising on the available space afforded by this property. Upstairs also has a small office space perfect for any buyers with work from home days, or to be used as an additional bedroom. Two attics at this property offer significant storage options and the oversized two-car garage has an additional workshop area for tools and lawn equipment allowing ample leftover space for two family vehicles. The backyard is large and flat with ample room to toss a football or have guests over with an amazingly lush terraced garden to grow your own vegetables, and fully fenced-in to avoid visiting deer. The shaded front porch offers a relaxing spot for morning coffee or afternoon gardening work, with new concrete porch and sidewalk installed just in 2019. Located literally just 11 minutes from the Washington, DC line and 16 minutes from the Annapolis Mall, this home offers convenient access to everything you need for work and play. Bowie boasts an incredible amount of amenities including numerous private pools, two gorgeous libraries, a performing arts center, a playhouse, a public splash park, numerous turf fields, a hockey rink, a skate park, a dog park, Allen Pond, White Marsh Park, an 18 hole golf course, Six Flags, our own minor league baseball team and their beautiful, clean stadium and ample programs for our aging senior citizens. Don't miss the opportunity to own this remarkable home that showcases both beauty and functionality.
