About This Home

One of Bowie’s most recognizable historic homes, the former John Hill Matthews House, offers timeless Victorian charm on over half an acre in the heart of town. From the inviting wraparound porch to the original architectural details inside, this home captures character and craftsmanship that is hard to find today. Inside you will find beautiful hardwood floors, detailed moldings, antique light fixtures, and multiple living spaces filled with natural light. The spacious kitchen includes a large pantry and connects to a bright breakfast room that is perfect for everyday meals or gathering with family and friends. The downstairs primary suite offers a comfortable private retreat with its own sitting area, fireplace, ensuite bathroom, roomy closets, and convenient access to the utility room. Upstairs you will find five additional bedrooms with classic details including transom windows and tall door frames, along with two full bathrooms and extra space that works well for reading, games, or relaxing. Outside the half acre property provides shaded areas for gathering, open green lawn space, and room to enjoy outdoor living. A 20 x 40 detached garage offers plenty of space for parking and storage, while the original carriage house remains on the property and offers exciting possibilities for restoration, guest space, a studio, or workshop. Homes with this much history, space, and charm do not come along often. Come see what makes this Bowie property so special.
