In the sought-after Fairview neighborhood of Bowie, stands 6113 Gallery Street, a colonial home built in 1985 that has been lovingly maintained by its owners. It's a place made of bricks and mortar, and comfort and convenience. The foyer is large enough to create a drop zone, a great find in any market. On either side of the foyer, wide walkways lead to separate living and dining rooms.

A family room stretches out along the entire left side of the main floor of the home. There's ample space for two living zones, e.g., one for a television and another for something else, like bookshelves, a play area, a game table, a workspace, or whatever you want. The gas fireplace is set in an attractive brick wall. A sliding glass door lets in a lot of light and offers access the deck and the backyard. Thanks to an open concept layout, the kitchen and breakfast room are adjacent to the family room. The breakfast area has a large and scenic picture window and a built-in desk. The kitchen has a gas range, a window that looks out over the backyard, and ample cabinets for storage.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private bath and a closet for hiding your clothes, hats, shoes, and treasures. Downstairs, the unfinished basement is bright and warm. The very organized owners added shelves and closets for additional storage.

Outside, mature trees stand tall in the large lot, and the sprinkler system, hidden, helps the summer grass stay green and vibrant. The backyard is encircled by a beautiful wooden picket fence.

The home is in a good location, situated very close to Lidl, and restaurants, about a mile from Starbucks, and about three miles from Harris Teeter and My Organic Market, near the Bowie Golf Club. It's also close to local schools. Google Maps indicates it's a 10-minute drive to Bowie State University and under 30 minutes to the University of Maryland-College Park. Bowie is close to the proposed new site for the FBI Headquarters. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the home's proximity to the Washington, Baltimore, and Annapolis (WB&A) Trail, a 13.1-mile paved trail perfect for biking, hiking, and walking. The nearby metro rail station (New Carrollton, about 16 minutes' drive) and metrobus stop (on Rt. 450) facilitate commuting and exploring the surrounding areas.

With nearly 2800 square feet of space, plus a basement and a garage for two cars, this home is a great find for anyone looking for a thoughtful layout, convenience, and space to spread out.
