Bowie: House offers high ceiling
Moroccan, English inspired house available for $1.89 million
This sunny, eclectic, three-year-old 8,400-square-foot Moroccan- and English-inspired brick and stucco home near the entrance of The Woods of Woodmore was the first custom home built on quiet Westbrook Lane.
A paver stone walkway leads to arched mahogany double doors with frosted glass, iron scrollwork and mortise locks. Inside, an elegant foyer with 21-foot ceilings and winding oak staircase with oak handrails and iron S-curl pickets greet visitors. Two iron Moroccan-inspired chandeliers hang above the foyer and the staircase.
To the left of the space is a formal dining room with chair rail, iron and crystal chandelier and wall sconces. To the right is a formal living room. Both rooms are painted a festive red and are outfitted with custom draperies.
Past these to the right is the formal powder room with iron and glass sink. To the left is a built-in niche and just ahead is the staircase to the basement. The unfinished 2,600-square-foot space has room for a theater, exercise room, bedroom with full bath, rec room, wet bar and an additional half bath. The basement is also accessible via an outdoor staircase at the rear of the home.
Just ahead, the step-down family room has a two-story ceiling, built-in cabinets for audio-visual equipment and a 52-inch gas fireplace with designer lighting sconces above. Oak hardwood floors cover the entire first floor and most rooms feature double panel casement windows.
The family dining room offers a spacious seating area and a view into the kitchen through a cutout with barstool level overhang. A set of French doors opens to a paver stone patio with gas hookup for a grill and other outdoor cooking equipment.
The spacious kitchen reflects the home's European influences. Oak cabinets with glass fronts and under lighting hang above the Gallio Veneziano granite countertops and multicolor tile backsplash.
The aged butcher's block-inspired solid cherry island features a stainless steel six-burner Viking Professional cooktop with exhaust and prep sink, chocolate granite countertop and stool-level table top with three matching cherry stools. The kitchen also boasts a stainless steel Viking Professional convection oven and microwave, industrial refrigerator, and two Bosch dishwashers and a warming drawer.
Left of the kitchen is a large butler's pantry with cherry cabinets and chocolate granite counter tops. Down the hall are the three-car garage with nine-foot aluminum doors; family powder room with pedestal sink and stone floor; and laundry room with red front-load washer and dryer with pedestals, double-door closet and white cabinets for storage.
On the second floor, the home's master bedroom suite features hexagonal tray ceilings with recessed lighting and has a high-end department store-inspired dressing room with floor-to-ceiling mirrors, crystal chandelier and his-and-her walk-in closets with custom cherry closet systems in each.
The master bathroom features a soaking tub with stone surround, a stone-and-glass spa shower for two with body and overhead jets with separate temperature settings and double sink with granite countertop.
The adjacent bedroom was originally part of the master bedroom suite. Two smaller bedrooms share a buddy bathroom and each bedroom has a large walk-in closet.
