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.

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.

That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
