This Adorable Bungalow w/detached garage, south-facing sunroom & deck is priced for today's market and is move-in ready.
This 2BR 2 BA 1923 detached home has an updated kitchen with stainless appliances (gas stove), granite countertops, Maple cabinets - some glass-fronted, and a breakfast nook! Enjoy wood floors & high ceilings throughout the main level and double pane windows that flood light into the home. The south-facing rear sunroom is a joy for plants and winter sunshine - it's great for an entertainment space with year-round heating and cooling, or a formal dining room if desired. It overlooks a Trex surfaced deck that is ideal for 3 season entertaining, overlooking a deep southwest-facing fenced garden! It even has your own bomb shelter installed (sold as is) - an interesting relic from the 1950s that was certified by the Federal Government with a sticker. There's lots of storage room and another bathroom in the walkout basement. The detached garage sits at the end of a long driveway - good for 3-4 cars, and makes a great storage shed or a possible art studio - and when combined with the basement gives plenty of room for hobbies! Gas-forced air heating and Central Air Conditioning are featured in this cute home and the roof was new in 2020.
Mount Rainier was Sustainable Maryland Certified in 2012 (one of only 4 towns then), after passing a "Going Green" ordinance, and has renewed its certification several times since. It offers small-town appeal in an urban setting that is a short ride away from Capitol Hill. Local Citizens are proud of the revitalization taking place, the tree-lined streets, and active civic engagement. It's also a Historic District, allowing for State Tax Credits for approved repairs/upgrades to buildings. You are a short stroll from the locally famous Glut food cooperative (since 1969), Joe's Movement Emporium (dance, yoga, children's pre-, and post-school programs), and the Arts District that stretches along the Route 1 corridor. Artists working from home in the City don't need a special license to work on and sell art from their home studios. Walk to Pennyroyal Station with New American Cuisine and Dodah's Kitchen Vegan restaurant. You are a short drive from Pizza Paradiso, Franklin's Brew Pub, and Busboys and Poets - all in nearby Hyattsville City. At nearby Fort Lincoln, there's shopping anchored by Costco. It's just over a mile from West Hyattsville Metro (Green Line) and Brookland CUA (Red Line) and with bus service nearby on Route 1 connecting several major bus routes including Rhode Island Ave. Metro. The home is one mile from West Hyattsville Metro Station and has a 76 Walk Score (Very Good) while for bikers a 65 score and for nature lovers, there is easy access to the National Arboretum and miles of bike/hiking trails along the Anacostia River connecting to Washington DC and north into College Park via the Paint Branch Creek. Route 50 provides quick access to the BW Parkway and I-495.
This home is eligible for the Welcome Home Grant offering up to $10,000 for downpayment and closing costs (primary residences only, No PMI, household income limits, ownership counseling required, gift funds can be used).
Fabulous for downsizers, artists, or move-ups in a close-in location near to Arts District!
A true gem!
