A spacious Colonial-style home on the market in Bowie is designed especially for prospective homebuyers looking for immediate gratification.

The new owners can move right into this five-bedroom home - it is being sold fully furnished. Couches, tables, beds, wall coverings, pictures, accents and more are included in the sale price.

The current homeowners said they would like the new owners to enjoy the complete package because the home was decorated with those specific furnishings in mind.



Located at 2710 Saint Josephs Drive in Bowie’s Balk Hill community, the three-story brick-front house is on the market for $795,000. Built in 2006, the 4,500-square-foot house has a side-entry, three-car garage.

A sunny, two-story center hall foyer is made bright by a large Palladian window and sidelights surrounding the front door. The formal living room and dining room flank the foyer. The home has 9-foot ceilings throughout.

The living room, which has columns at the entrance, features a couch, two chairs and a large decorative mirror. Many of the home’s rooms are painted in dark, rich tones and this room is no exception. The dark walls offer a great contrast to the plush off-white carpeting.

The living room has an entryway that leads directly into a huge side solarium. The sun-drenched room is lined with floor-to-ceiling walls of windows with decorative window treatments and is painted in a cheerful yellow hue. Both the solarium and foyer have pristine hardwood flooring.

On the opposite side of the foyer is the formal dining room, which comes with a large dining table to seat eight people. This carpeted room has a china cabinet, an elegant chandelier and detailed crown molding.

The family room in the back of the home is both comfortable and stylishly decorated. It comes with a couch and several cozy chairs surrounding a white marble fireplace and impressive artwork.

Nearby, the expansive, well-appointed kitchen features granite counters and a long center island with glass-front cabinetry and space for eating.

There’s also a bright morning room behind the kitchen for more leisurely, scenic dining. This space has a wall of windows, including a Palladian window, and a door that leads onto the backyard patio with its set of outdoor furniture.

The home has a large, flat backyard and sits on a lot of more than a half-acre.

The home features a convenient main-level library that can double as a reading room or home office when work needs to be done. A large bookcase unit that covers one wall, a work desk and leather office chair will convey.

There are four bedrooms on the top floor and one bedroom on the finished lower level.

The master suite has burgundy walls, a cathedral ceiling and has a sitting room. A king-sized bed, two dressers and a large decorative mirror will convey.

The master bath is a luxurious retreat. It has columns, tile floors, his-and-hers sinks and bright walls.

The remaining three bedrooms on this level are also furnished and decorated. Among the furnishings, one room has a white bunk-bed set with an attached homework desk, and another has a bed and two nightstands.

There are two more full baths on the upper level and a fourth full bath on the lower level.

Completely finished, the basement is an added bonus. The new owners can relax right away as the lower level is furnished with a billiards table, several large couches, an entertainment center and a host of other stylish furnishings.
