Located in the heart of the City of Mount Rainier and close by the Arts District, this 1923 home sports beautifully refinished wood floors, a traditional front porch, and updated granite kitchen. Main level floors are refinished wood pine floors and show beautifully. The Living Room and separate Dining room are both a good size and support a big gathering at the holidays! The granite kitchen offers lots of counters and cabinet space. You will appreciate the kitchen sink overlooking the window to the rear garden. It has a newly tiled floor and there is fresh paint through the house. A gas stove is featured and preferred by many cooks! You will love the huge owner suite on the 2nd level with bathroom and great light. The floors are recent wood and the room is very large with a private bathroom. The main level has two bedrooms and an updated bathroom in between them. One of the bedrooms has an unusual door to the front porch. This might also be a good room to use as a home office for business so that visitors do not have to come through the house to meet you. Also a possible Air B&B rental w/private entrance. The City does allow Home Based Artists to sell and show artwork from their home without a need for special license permit. A long driveway gives plenty of parking and an old garage (sold as is) has electric for tools and lights! That back yard is a good size and fenced and flat - offering plenty of future gardening opportunity and a great play area! A big waterproofed basement w/1/2 bath presents an opportunity for future expansion and a convenient side entrance. The home sports economical gas fired hot water radiator central heating (the best type for people with allergies). Window unit A/C is featured. The roof is about one year old. This home is just a 1.2-mile drive from the West Hyattsville Metro Station and there is a bus service at the end of the block to and from Metro Stations. You are right next to the Arts District, and a short stroll from the famous Glut, Joe's Movement Emporium, and stores and restaurants. The local police station is around the corner on Route 1, as is the City Town Hall. Franklin's Brew Pub, Bus Boys and Poets and My Organic Market is a 6-minute drive away in the City of Hyattsville, while Costco and a huge Shopping Center at Fort Lincoln, in Washington DC, is 7 minutes away. The Washington DC Capitol is a short convenient drive away, as is the University of Maryland campus, Route 50 and I-295.
