About this property

Built in 1911, this classic farmhouse sits on a sprawling, private one-third-acre corner lot, a unique find in walkable Hyattsville. This home is surprisingly roomy for a gem of its era, with 1,420 square feet of interior living space. The main floor follows the traditional front-to-back floor plan as one room opens into the next, each with its own purpose. As you step inside, you're welcomed into a spacious, bright living room. It's a generous first impression, with plenty of room to arrange furniture according to your daily rhythm. Behind the living room sits a formal dining room. It's a true separate room, the kind that many newer homes have traded away for open concepts. Holiday dinners, game nights, and a long farmhouse table all fit nicely here. The kitchen sits at the rear of the house and has enough space for a table as well. Alternatively, there's plenty of space to add a breakfast nook, pantry, or more storage and counter tops. Rounding out the main floor, you will find a bonus room leading out to the rear porch and backyard. Options abound here; with a little vision this room becomes a mud room, guest room, office space, or simply another living room that's perfect for a movie night. As you head upstairs, you find two sizeable bedrooms with a full bath in between. Neither bedroom feels like an afterthought, which isn't always true of two-bedroom homes from this period. Then there's the bathroom. Get a load of the claw foot tub! This period detail is a holdover from a long-gone era, but the size of the bathroom is a sought-after modern amenity, with plenty of space and a full-size closet within. Without a doubt, the most compelling feature of this property is the lot area. There are only a few corner lots of this size in Hyattsville, and this is where buyers with vision can dream. Think vegetable gardens, a patio and fire pit, a workshop or studio, or simply space for pets and family to spread out. This home would be great for an investor with vision or a buyer looking to put their own unique fingerprint on this storied property. The lot is large enough that subdivision may be possible. Any addition or new structure depends on local zoning and permits, so confirm your plans with the City of Hyattsville and Prince George's County before you buy. As for location, you will be just a short walk from the Arts District (Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, Vigilante Coffee, Franklins, Busboys and Poets), as well as the Riverdale Park Town Center (Town Center Market, Riviera Tapas, MARC Train Station) The house is in good condition and is being sold AS-IS, ready for your own personal touches.
