Four Days For A Storybook Cottage In Riverdale Park

With a stone façade, picket fence, front porch, and beautifully established gardens, this Riverdale Park cottage spent just a few days on the market. The thoughtful floor plan keeps the home's traditional character intact, moving from a living room through to a dining room, a French door-separated den that could serve as a home office or third bedroom, and a kitchen full of personality —  green cabinetry, open shelving, and a layout that feels wholly in keeping with the cottage aesthetic. Two bedrooms and a full bath sit upstairs, a waterproofed lower level offers real expansion potential, and the lush, private backyard is as charming as everything that came before it.

• Full Listing: 6002 Rhode Island Avenue (map) 
• Price: $475,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 1.5
• Year Built: 1930
• Days On Market: 4
• Listing Agent: Don Bunuan, Compass

A Hyattsville Bungalow Where Everything Is Done

A 100-year-old bungalow in the heart of the Hyattsville Historic District, this carefully preserved three-bedroom listing features original heartwood pine floors, a freshly painted interior and exterior, and a newly installed three-zone mini-split system. The kitchen has been fully redone with hand-painted encaustic cement tile floors and Bellagio quartzite counters — all framed by a large picture window above the sink. Out back, a fully enclosed cedar-fenced yard with garden beds, a generous deck, and a sliding door connection to the dining room rounds out a package that leaves very little for the next owner to do.

• Full Listing: 4221 Kennedy Street (map) 
• Price: $599,999
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1924
• Days On Market: 5
• Listing Agent: Kelly Custer, Long & Foster Real Estate
