Beautiful architecture and wonderful place to live!

Bright and spacious, cathedral-ceilinged living room opens onto sunny and secluded side-porch. Curving stairwells with original hand-cast brass railings lead down to a dining room/sitting room, where French doors lead to a covered brick terrace and expansive, tree-lined backyard, on this wonderfully sheltered corner lot.


This four bedroom, 2.5 bath home has newly redone hardwood floors throughout and two stone fireplaces, and numerous casement windows provide streaming natural light and outdoor views. Large, updated kitchen, charming breakfast nook, wood-paneled study, recreation room, fully fitted laundry room.

This pioneering architectural masterpiece and local landmark was built in 1935 by influential Hyattsville developer/postmaster Truston Cannon with attention to quality and architectural detail. The house was originally solidly built by Cannon and has since been lovingly maintained and kept up to date.

The house sits back from the road on a large front yard with flagstone walk. Stone steps lead down to a side yard, ideal for gardeners, and to a huge, tree-filled backyard, enclosed by a stunning cedar and wrought-iron fence.

Complete with private driveway and garage.

Well inside the beltway in the heart of historic Hyattsville. Walking distance to Metro, shopping, Hyattsville Arts District, DeMatha High School, many churches and good schools. Just 10 minutes to Beltway entrance, University of Maryland, Catholic University and 20 minutes to the Capital and downtown D.C.

Owner must move; rare opportunity for buyer. Ideal for an academic or a family seeking enriched and stimulating environment for children.

Lovely environment for entertaining; draw for architecture buffs; perfect backdrop for period or antique furnishings.

Seller's commission for agent bringing buyer. Buyers representing themselves also welcome!
