2200 Enterprise Road, Bowie, MD 20721Asking Price of: $425,000

This home has a soul, and the land tells its story. Built nearly a century ago as a wedding present, 2200 Enterprise Road has only had a few families call it home. Set on a wide, usable corner lot with a massive detached workshop, this is the kind of property that rarely comes up. The Waesche family lived here for over 50 years. They even dug the cellar (see photo) by hand with a horse and plow so they could keep canned goods cool. The dining room shelving was crafted from the windows of their first car, a Model A Ford. Even the oak floors were sourced during WWII, when such materials were hard to come by. The current family, who owned a landscaping business, spent decades cultivating the grounds with the wide variety of flowers and trees you see today. They even ran a popular seasonal wreath business from the property. The soil here is exceptional, and the setting is peaceful and private, yet highly accessible. The home today remains solidly built and full of character, with much of its original charm intact. While all major systems are functional and the roof is brand new, the home reflects its age and would benefit from thoughtful updates and general improvements over time. It offers a wonderful opportunity for a buyer who appreciates its history and is ready to make it their own. Property will not pass FHA or VA financing. A wraparound driveway provides easy access, and the detached workshop out back is a rare find, ideal for contractors, hobbyists, or anyone needing substantial workspace.
