1911 Farmhouse on a ⅓-Acre Corner Lot in Hyattsville: 4232 Nicholson St
In brief: 4232 Nicholson St is a historic 1911 farmhouse in Hyattsville, Maryland, on a private, fully fenced one-third-acre corner lot with off-street parking. It has 1,420 square feet of living space, two bedrooms, one full bathroom with a claw foot tub, and a flexible bonus room. It is being sold as-is, in good condition, and suits an investor, a rental buyer, or a homeowner who wants to restore a historic house.
What makes 4232 Nicholson Street special?
The main floor follows the traditional front-to-back floor plan you'd expect in a farmhouse of this era. Each room opens into the next, and each has its own purpose. As you step inside, you're welcomed into a spacious living room. It's a generous first impression, with plenty of room to arrange furniture around how you actually live.
Behind the living room sits a formal dining room. It's a true separate room, the kind many newer homes have traded away for open concepts. Holiday dinners, game nights, and a long farmhouse table all fit here.
The kitchen sits at the rear of the house and has space for a table. If you'd rather use that space differently, there's enough room to build a breakfast nook or add a walk-in pantry.
Just before the rear door to the backyard is a bonus room. It could be:
A mudroom, right where you come in from the yard and the parking area
A second living room or den
A home office away from the main living space
A guest room
How you use it is a matter of how creative you'd like to be.
Let’s head upstairs…
Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with a full bathroom between them. Neither bedroom feels like an afterthought, which isn't always true of two-bedroom homes from this period.
Then there's the bathroom. Get a load of the claw foot tub. It's the kind of original-feeling detail buyers of historic homes go looking for, and it's the room people will remember after a showing.
But the most compelling feature is the lot size!
The one-third-acre corner lot is the rarest thing about this property. In walkable Hyattsville, most homes sit on much smaller lots, so a yard this size is hard to find.
What the lot offers
Size and privacy: a sprawling, private one-third acre on a corner
A fully fenced yard: room for pets, gardens, outdoor dining, and play
Off-street parking: a real convenience on a walkable in-town street
A yard this size gives you options most in-town buyers don't have. Think vegetable gardens, a patio and fire pit, a workshop or studio, or simply space to spread out. Any addition or new structure depends on local zoning and permits, so confirm your plans with the City of Hyattsville and Prince George's County before you buy.
Who is this home a good fit for?
The house is in good condition and is being sold as-is. That means it's livable now, and the seller won't be making repairs or giving credits for them. It's ready for your personal touches.
For investors
A solid project in a walkable, in-demand Route 1 corridor city
A rental with features tenants value: a fenced yard, off-street parking, and a flexible bonus room
The land itself, which is hard to replace in this part of Hyattsville
For a homeowner who wants to restore a historic house
A 1911 farmhouse with a traditional floor plan and a claw foot tub
A good-condition starting point, so you can restore at your own pace
A private yard that makes in-town living feel like more space
What "sold as-is" means for you
You can still hire a home inspector, and I strongly recommend it. An as-is sale simply means the seller isn't committing to fix what the inspection finds. Budget for updates and plan your project with clear eyes. In my experience with older homes along the Route 1 corridor, the buyers who do best are the ones who price their renovations before they write their offer.
Is 4232 Nicholson St walkable?
Yes. The home is in walkable Hyattsville, close to the restaurants, shops, parks, and community events that draw buyers to this Route 1 corridor city. Getting a one-third-acre lot without giving up that walkability is what makes this property unusual.
A note on Hyattsville property taxes
Hyattsville is an incorporated city. Homeowners pay a City of Hyattsville property tax in addition to Prince George's County tax. Factor both into your monthly budget or rental numbers.
