$950,000

Elegantly restored Queen Ann-style Victorian home in the heart of hip, happening, historic Hyattsville within a short walk of Arts District HVL with its awesome boutique shops & restaurants. This beauty has been lovingly updated and improved for todays lifestyle. This home has an elevator that open's to the exterior… Read More rear yard and goes to the 1st and 2nd floors. Welcoming covered wrap-around porch. Stained glass entrance door with the first of many transoms. The enchanting front hall has a window seat with built-in storage, William Morris wallpaper, the chunky newel post and stairway, and the first set of original pocket doors complete this classic picture. The living room has 9' 8 ceilings, is wired for surround sound and has a gas fireplace and beautiful marble mantle. The oak floors are gleaming throughout the first floor. The second set of pocket doors leads to the formal dining room. Notice the painted lace medalion above the crystal chandelier, and wooden wainscotting below the chair rail. Two large windows and a single glass door to the side porch bring in southerly light. The electric fireplace adds ambiance to any meal. There is a main level half bath with a pedestal sink and classic tile flooring. The kitchen is the heart of this home with its gorgeous glass tile backsplash, a deep farm sink, quartz counters and beautiful banquette seating. Corner windows and one over the sink bring the natural light in. There's a drawer (16!) or a cabinet for everything. Great use of every space in this well-organized kitchen. High-end Stainless Steel appliances include an electric cooktop and a wall oven (kitchen is piped for gas as well if you desire). There are lit cabinets for your favorite display pieces. The 3rd set of pocket doors have stunning stained-glass windows and open to the family room addition - its Queen Ann-style bay windows mimic that of the dining room. The blinds are electric and raise and lower at sunrise and sunset. I love the beauty and usefulness of the fandolier! There's a side entry mudroom for coats & backpacks with access to the elevator. The second level has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths and beautiful heart pine floors. Two character-filled BRs face the front and share a hall bath with a classic claw foot tub. The primary suite includes a 15' x 15' BR with 3 windows, an exposed brick chimney and a ceiling fan. The stunning ensuite bath has a claw-foot soaking tub, an antique vanity with dual sinks and an accessible sink too. Arched-entry walk-in shower with a glass door has a built-in seat. Wait until you see the 17' x 13' closet of your dreams! Versatile Elfa shelving, there's room for all the seasons. Plus the laundry is upstairs exactly where you need it! Front loading washer & dryer on pedestals for your convenience. Elevator access is here too. The top floor has a cool L-shaped bedroom under the roofline with carpeted floors and 3 exposures. There's an access panel to the 2nd HVAC system closet under the eaves, and a storage room with built-in shelves. There's a crawl space under the addition and an original utility cellar with outside access. An arched, rose-covered pergola provides a gorgeous entry to your fenced secret garden. The yard is delightfully planted with roses and irises and many flowering plants and native shrubs and beautiful brick walkways and a terrace for al fresco dining. There are raised beds ready for your kitchen/herb garden and a shed for your garden tools. 2-3 parking spaces along the alley with you own EV power too! The property was renovated and recently re-insulated and re-sided, all new electrical wiring and box too. All this and located in a cool, funky and neighborly town near MARC and METRO. You will love living here. Read Less
