The Hyattsville Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and expanded in 2004, showcases a variety of late-19th and early-20th-century architectural styles. You'll find grand Victorian "mansions," charming summer cottages, duplexes, and examples of Second Empire, Queen Anne, Italianate, Bungalow, and Arts & Crafts designs. Notable historic sites include the Hyattsville Armory and the Hyattsville Main Post Office. Hyattsville is a significant part of the Gateway Arts District, which also includes North Brentwood, Brentwood, and Mount Rainier along US Route 1. The Arts District Hyattsville, a revitalization project in downtown Hyattsville, features live-work units and burgeoning retail spaces. Hyattsville is a diverse community with ongoing residential and retail development, particularly near the West Hyattsville Metro station. Route 1 in Hyattsville has seen a revitalization, with craft brewers and distillers playing a significant role in repurposing older commercial properties. Enjoy the great outdoors within walking distance at Driskell Community Park & Melrose Park. A variety of cafes and restaurants with menus from around the globe are just minutes away in downtown Hyattsville. Multiple grocery stores are just minutes away, along with other day-to-day conveniences. The city of Hyattsville is known for its "A World Within Walking Distance" motto, reflecting its convenient and community-oriented feel.
Discover the historic charm, sophistication, and elegance of 4901 40th Place, a distinguished Colonial Revival home built circa 1870 by Hyattsville's founder, Christopher Hyatt. This residence showcases classic Italianate details, including cornice brackets and pendants. A welcoming trellis and stone path lead you and guests to this grand stunner with a welcoming 40-foot wrap-around concrete porch with a porch swing. Inside, you'll find a gracious center hall layout spread over 2990sf with warm wood floors flowing throughout. Abundant natural light through a plethora of windows fills this home, and all of the natural light is complemented by gorgeous vintage lighting providing ambiance in every room. The living room has a bay window, built-in bookcase, a lined wood-burning fireplace, and porch access through French doors. The dining room, with its exposed beamed ceiling and French door porch access, is adjacent to the charming kitchen. This Julia Child-style kitchen overlooks the rear garden with both original and updated cabinetry providing abundant pantry and cupboard storage. A main-level bedroom with built-ins makes the perfect home office, and a half bath offers main-level living convenience. Enjoy the outdoors on the fabulous screened porch with high ceilings and a fan, leading to an enchanting garden with perennial native plants and flora. Back inside and up the original staircase with original curved newel post and handrail, you'll find four bedrooms, including a king-size primary suite with an exposed brick wall and original decorative fireplace. The other front-facing secondary bedroom has a built-in desk and an extra-large closet. The full bath features a clawfoot tub, a window, and more period-style updates. The two rear bedrooms are super-spacious and provide great guest space or other multipurpose uses to suit your wants and needs. The expansive top floor, with a 9-foot ceiling, skylights, and ample storage, offers a versatile family room, art studio, home gym, and so many more options. The basement is ideal for hobbyists, with a workbench, storage space, exterior access, and laundry/utility space with shelving. Central AC & radiator heating, double pane windows, and a long side driveway with ample parking complete this home. Located blocks from local favorites, bike path access to the Arts District and Metro, this home offers a vibrant, happy, & convenient lifestyle.
