1201 Chillum Manor Road

Hyattsville, Maryland 20783

Some homes have a great story. This one has a great story, a swimming pool, and a basement that will make you call your friends before you even finish the tour. Set on a generous corner lot in an established neighborhood, 1201 offers the kind of space and solidity that doesn't come around often. A brand new roof means the biggest box is already checked. Hardwood floors run the length of the main level, catching light from oversized windows as the living room opens naturally into the dining room, then into a kitchen that's been updated without losing its character, white cabinets, granite countertops, and a gas range that means business. The layout breathes. It flows. It feels like a home that's been lived in well. Three bedrooms upstairs, all with hardwood floors and good closet space. The primary connects to its own full bath. A second full bath serves the rest of the floor. Fresh paint throughout, clean lines, nothing to do but move in. Then there's the lower level. A wood-burning fireplace anchors one end of the family room. The other end opens into something you don't see anymore: a full vintage bar, original and fully intact, wood paneling, mirrored back bar, backlit panels, orange leather banquettes, the whole thing. It's a conversation piece, a party waiting to happen, a slice of mid-century entertaining culture that someone had the vision to build and the care to preserve. Outside, the corner lot gives you room to breathe. A swimming pool for the warm months, mature landscaping, a Japanese maple that earns its keep every fall, a carport, and enough curb presence to make people slow down. Minutes from Takoma Park, Downtown Hyattsville, Catholic University, and Downtown DC. Close enough to feel connected, far enough to come home and exhale.
