By Carisa Chappell SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES

A Colonial-style home with professional landscaping on a 2-acre lot has sweeping views of Enterprise Golf Course directly across the street and Woodmore Golf Course out the back windows.

But the home boasts more than just a special location, it has surprises inside that include a two-story addition, a massive walk-in closet/dressing room and three fireplaces. The home has five bedrooms, four full baths and two half baths, and it is priced at $899,000.

The home is at 2901 Enterprise Road in Bowie, where it sits back from the street and has a circular drive.

Stone steps with a columned entry welcome visitors into the home. Originally built in 1979, the house has been well-maintained and renovated several times (most recently in 2006).

A curved staircase is the focus of the marble foyer. The center-hall floor plan places the study and the living room across the foyer from one another.

The study has two walls of built-in shelves with lighting. The owner purchased the wood for the built-ins from a "going out of business" sale at a Peeble's department store in Bowie several years ago. He had carpenters incorporate the wood into the study.

What was once the dining room before the remodeling is now a cozy living room in the front of the home. This room has crown, chair-rail and picture frame molding.

The "wow" factor comes into play when walking toward the rear addition. What used to be a comfortably sized kitchen and family room is now a dual sitting area with a wood-burning fireplace and built-ins. This space provides a gateway into the new portion of the home.

This bonus sitting area is a great space to take in the magnitude of the owner's impressive renovations. Exposed brick adds character and showcases where the original home ended. The house has a wonderful flow, and the owners have hosted many large gatherings.

Three wide steps lead down into the 35-by-25-foot great room with 10-foot ceilings. This enormous room is divided (with furniture) into a living room and dining room.
