This 1948 brick Colonial has great cheekbones — it just needs a little blush. Sellers have already invested in the bones that matter most: a 200-amp electrical service upgrade, updated kitchen and bathroom plumbing, a newer water heater, replaced exterior AC unit, and a fully fenced backyard with shed, extensive brickwork, a multi-level patio, raised garden beds, and mature shade trees, built for entertaining. Seller estimates the roof is approximately 6–10 years old (replaced by previous owner). The model ship and bedroom map, in the home since its first owner, convey — a nice bit of continuity. What's left is yours to make your own — priced to reflect the opportunity to update finishes at your own pace. Classic Colonial layout, 3 bedrooms, 2 updated full baths, generous room sizes, and good natural light throughout. Beyond the house, you'll find yourself in the historic Town of Cheverly. It's about a half mile to the Cheverly Metro, 2 miles to Costco, Lowes & shops & restaurants at Dakota Crossing, and less than 15 minutes to the restaurants in the Arts District in Hyattsville. You're just 15 minutes away from grocery shopping at Wegmans in Lanham, & from the Whole Foods Market in Riverdale. Need to get to Baltimore, Annapolis or into DC, or ready to head "down the ocean, hon" to Ocean City? Cheverly is nestled in the middle of 2 major highways -- Route 295 & Route 50 are just a couple of minutes away. Come check out 5796 Carlyle St and join The Cheverly Goodlife -- it's a rare chance to get into this historic, close-knit community at real value.
