5815 31st Pl Hyattsville, MD 20782

Set on a quiet, leafy street in Hyattsville's Queens Chapel Manor, this charming Cape Cod feels tucked away from the rush of everyday life-while keeping just about everything you need remarkably close. And there's much more here than first meets the eye. With approximately 2,274 finished square feet across three levels, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the kind of flexible space that's increasingly hard to find at this price point. The bright main level includes a welcoming living room, two bedrooms, a full bath, kitchen and separate dining area. Upstairs, an unexpectedly spacious primary bedroom with walk-in closet shares the level with a large dedicated office-creating a peaceful retreat for sleeping, working, creating, or simply having a little more room to yourself. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds another dimension to the way this home can live. A generous recreation room offers plenty of space to gather and unwind, while a separate bonus room could easily function as guest space, a home gym, second office-or even bedroom space when needed. A second full bath plus dedicated laundry and storage round out a level that feels genuinely useful rather than simply "extra." Step outside and the sense of breathing room continues. The spacious backyard offers room to garden, entertain, play or simply relax outside, while thoughtful plantings-including a Sweetbay Magnolia and American Linden added by the current owners-will continue to grow along with the next chapter of the home. The owners have cared for the house just as thoughtfully, most recently installing a new Daikin heat pump/AC system and completing electrical service work in 2026. Additional improvements during their ownership include gutters and gutter guards, roof flashing, newer kitchen appliances, backsplash and disposal, washer and dryer, and cellular window shades. Best of all, peaceful doesn't mean disconnected. Imagine starting the morning with coffee at home, heading to nearby LA Fitness for a workout, then hopping on Metro for the commute into DC. Both Hyattsville Crossing and West Hyattsville Metro are within easy reach, giving you two convenient ways to catch the Green Line-with West Hyattsville one station closer to downtown and offering free Metro parking on weekends. Target, shopping, restaurants, groceries, coffee and movies are all close at hand. And when you'd rather trade pavement for something greener, nearby Heurich Community Park offers open space and a dog park, while the Northwest Branch Trail connects into the extensive Anacostia Tributary Trail System for miles of walking, running and biking. And the Hyattsville you came for is never far away. Grab coffee at Vigilante, meet friends for a beer at Streetcar 82 or Maryland Meadworks, spend an afternoon at Franklin's, or head downtown for dinner. This fall, Hyattsville Porchfest brings live music to front porches throughout the community on September 27-including right around the corner from 31st Place. Beyond the destinations themselves, it's neighborhood traditions like these, along with the local businesses, gathering places and unmistakable sense of community, that make Hyattsville such a special place to call home.
