About This Home
As of July 2025This all-brick 1933 Hipped Roofed Arts & Crafts home offers one level living w/room for guests on the 2nd level. Located in the incorporated City of Hyattsville's Historic District, budding artists will be moved by the overly deep garage with high ceilings and rear space with room for an artist studio as well as the next door gazebo with louvered windows and electricity - also a good place for a studio as well as gatherings of friends on long days! Fully fenced front and rear, this is a very private home with a beautiful front entry, original hardwood floors, a windowed front door, and original unpainted wood doors. Enjoy the grand living room with shining hardwood floors, crown moldings, and a central fireplace and mantel. It leads to double doors and a sunroom overlooking a large manicured rear garden. Off the foyer are two large bedrooms and an art deco-inspired bathroom with tub and shower, and brightly colored tiles. Large dining get-togethers are easy in the separate dining room with a large built-in wooden dining cabinet with plenty of storage. The impressive chandelier complements the home and will remain.. Many hours of joy with friends and family await you here. The nearby kitchen is updated with granite countertops and recent appliances. It has seating on one side of the counter for enjoying a chat while you are preparing in the kitchen. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bathroom, plus a 2nd bathroom with a shower and sink. One bedroom has a large walk-in storage closet, too. Step downstairs, and there's a built-in home office workspace with a granite countertop leading to an
oversized recreation room centered on a wood-burning fireplace. The room is large enough to be divided to create a guest room. There's even a mini-2nd in-law kitchen here and a laundry area. There are 4 sump pumps in the basement.
Both front and rear gardens are a delight with many perennials and evergreen shrubs that remain with the property. The southwest-facing rear garden has a host of roses, large crape myrtle, fig tree, and evergreen shrubs, including holly. You will enjoy the garden and gazebo year-round. The hipped roof was replaced in 2023 with new tile and sub-roofing below. The Central Air Conditioning system is 2 years old. There are exterior cameras on the property.
You are 3 blocks from Driskell Park with trails and walking paths through the woods to the Northwest Branch Trail with miles of bike/hike trails and a tot-lot, tennis/pickleball courts, baseball and soccer fields, basketball courts, and a splash pool too. You are just over a mile from West Hyattsville Metro Station on the Green line, and a similar distance to the Route 1 Arts District with shops and restaurants, including Busboys & Poets, Franklin's Brew Pub, Pizza Paradiso, Tara Thai, and Vigilante Coffee. Yes, Organic Market, Bestway, and Aldi's are nearby.
If you seek a house with period character, but with the modern conveniences of today's homes, this updated home has the best of both worlds set on a low-traffic street but close to the amenities today's homebuyers require.
