This modest, split-level Bowie home is a comfortable dwelling with plenty of open space and a lot of potential.

The front door opens onto a stone landing. At the top of the stairs is the living room, a spacious area with a hardwood floor and a bay of windows overlooking the front yard. Next to this is the dining room, with crown and panel molding and a chair rail around the walls. A chandelier hangs down in the center of the room.

The kitchen also features a chair rail, as well as carved hardwood beams crossing the ceiling. A square wooden pillar comes down in the center, with light mounted on all four sides. A tile backsplash is behind the stove. A breakfast area sits next to the kitchen, with a stained glass light overhead. There is a pantry here, as well as a half bath and a side door down into the yard.

Beyond the kitchen is the family room, which is also fairly large and has a hardwood floor. The walls are paneled, and crown molding traces the ceiling. One wall is brick with a wood-burning fireplace in it and stone tiles, similar to those by the door, in front of it. A set of double doors lead out one a patio in the backyard.

Past the family room, a hallway leads down to a set of bedrooms. Three of these are regular bedrooms, with hardwood floors and double-sized closets. There is also a full hall bathroom with a combined shower and bath. The master bedroom is at the end of the hall, and there is a private bathroom in this room, with shaped tiles on the floor and walls and a large tub.

Down in the lower level, there is a door to the garage at the bottom of the stairs. The garage holds two cars, but has a large amount of additional room for storage or a workshop on either side. Also directly at the bottom of the stairs is a half bathroom, though the space behind it has been left unfinished and could easily be converted into a full bathroom.

There is a large recreation space on this lower floor, which follows the front of the home and wraps around the side. Behind this space is a large laundry room and utility area. The appliances and water heater have all been recently updated.

Placed in a peaceful neighborhood and with a large yard surrounding it, this home can suit almost anyone's needs.

An open house on this home is planned for 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday.
