OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 10:30-12:30. Come experience 5313 42nd Avenue in person and then walk down to the Hyattsville Arts Festival happening Saturday from 1-6! Some houses are about the floor plan. This one is about HOW you get to live. There is something genuinely special about 5313 42nd Avenue. Set high above the street on an elevated lot, tucked behind lush landscaping and shaded by mature trees, the house has a sense of place you feel before you ever walk through the front door. Climb the steps, settle onto the big front porch and look out over one of Hyattsville's prettiest tree-lined streets. It feels peaceful, private and a little magical — yet you're just steps from the center of everything that makes living in Hyattsville so much fun. And the timing couldn't be better. The Hyattsville Arts & Ales Festival is happening THIS WEEKEND, practically outside your front door. Walk down the street and you're in the middle of one of the city's signature events — artists, makers, music, food, neighbors and the unmistakable energy of this community. And that's not just one special weekend. It's everyday life here. Downtown Hyattsville is an easy 8-minute walk. Morning coffee at Vigilante. Dinner or a drink at Franklins. Meet friends at Streetcar 82 Brewing Co., Maryland Meadworks or Sangfroid Distilling. Walk to Busboys and Poets, Yes! Organic Market, Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, neighborhood events and more. Leave the car at home. This is the kind of location where the things you love doing become part of your neighborhood. Then there's the house itself. Inside, 5313 feels warm, soulful and unmistakably like a home. Beautiful wood floors, abundant natural light, generous rooms and a working fireplace give it the character you hope to find in an older house but can't manufacture in a newer one. There are spaces to gather and spaces to retreat, plus multiple levels that allow the house to change along with you. One of its best surprises is the large finished top level — a wonderful, flexible space for sleeping, working, creating, exercising or simply escaping. Downstairs, the lower level offers high ceilings and a private side entrance with room to imagine what's next: family room, music studio, guest space, home gym or something entirely your own. Outside, the feeling continues. The rear deck opens to an expansive, flat backyard with room for dinners with friends, gardening, games, dogs or lazy afternoons. Between the front porch, deck and yard, this is a house that invites you to actually spend time outside. And while 5313 has all the charm of an older Hyattsville home, many of the expensive things buyers worry about have already received significant attention: a roof replaced in 2020 with a 15-year transferable warranty; dual HVAC systems updated in 2019 and 2023; a 2019 water heater; newer Okna Enviro-Star double-hung windows throughout; all-new doors; and newer kitchen appliances from 2018 and 2023. That's what makes this one such a compelling combination: character without sacrificing important updates, space without losing warmth, and a peaceful setting without giving up walkability. Come for the house. Stay for the porch, the trees, the fireplace, the backyard, the walk into town and the community happening just beyond your front door. This is Hyattsville living.
