9450 Merkel Farms Rd, Bowie, MD 20715

Welcome to your own little oasis, conveniently located to any and everything, but tucked away in Bowie down a private road that's surrounded by farmland! This lovingly maintained yellow farmhouse sits on just under 6 acres, surrounded by trees behind the home, and farmland to the front. The trees behind the home are part of land owned by National Capital Park and Planning, so it will never be developed and the privacy they provide will be maintained. Finally, there is a creek to the left of the house to complete the perfect setting to come home to! The house itself features the following updates: 30 Year Architectural Shingle (2019), Upgraded HVAC (2017), Updated Thompson Creek Windows (2012), Newer Appliances (2019/2020) & Brand New Counters (2022). The septic was pumped in March in preparation for the new owners & the chimney and fireplaces were serviced last winter! Driving down the main driveway towards the home, you will pass a large shop to your right. The shop is up the hill towards the front property line of the lot, and fully supplied with electricity and propane heat. This space has been utilize by the family in a variety of ways from storing landscaping equipment and things for outdoor activities, to a variety of hobbies. It is not only a useful, but extremely convenient addition to the property. Continuing up the driveway towards the house there is a smaller storage shed to the left, next to ample parking at the end of the driveway. When you arrive at the house, you step up onto a beautiful oversized porch that wraps around the front of the home, and down its right side. A wonderful seating and entertainment area, with the perfect view of the property! Walking through the front door, you step into an entryway that allows you to either enter the main living area to your right, or the formal dining room to your left. The staircase is in the center of the home, allowing full access to all rooms around it. Through the oversized living room you enter the open kitchen, with plenty of room for a breakfast area or an island addition! There is access through the kitchen out to the back deck overlooking the back part of the property. Upstairs are three well sized bedrooms, and two full baths! The master has an en suite looking over the back yard as well. Downstairs in the basement you will find ample, spacious additional living area, as well as a secondary hearth set up for a wood stove. The current owners used the front half as living space and the back half as storage! Come see this beautiful Farmhouse for yourself today!
