About this home
Rare live-work (Commercial & Residential) opportunity in the heart of historic Old Bowie! This expansive, fully renovated property boasts over 6,000 square feet of meticulously finished space, seamlessly combining premier residential comfort with incredible commercial potential. Whether you choose to run your business out of the entire building, utilize a perfect half-and-half split for living and working, or secure a powerhouse investment asset, this versatile property adapts beautifully to your vision. Offering ultimate peace of mind, a comprehensive top-to-bottom renovation includes a brand-new roof, new siding, high-efficiency windows, a new HVAC system, a new water heater, fresh paint, modern flooring, and brand-new appliances throughout. Classic wrap-around porches provide an inviting entrance for both residents and commercial clients alike.
The highly functional layout is thoughtfully designed with separate front entrances and two separate rear entrances to ensure effortless privacy and excellent flow between the zones.

Just five steps up from this open space is an additional large living area or customer/staff lounge, adjacent to a convenient half bathroom. The upper level provides a total of 6 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, smartly divided into two separate wings: the house side offers 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath, while the store side features an additional 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath, with a private connecting door between the two wings that can be easily closed or locked for complete separation. Additionally, the commercial wing features its own staircase leading up to the second floor, where a door opens to an immense third-level attic offering incredible storage space.
