Welcome to 6103 40th Avenue, a spacious five-bedroom, two-full-bath residence situated on a generous 0.17-acre lot within the City of Hyattsville. Built in 1933, this classic home offers established character, significant updates to major systems, and a unique opportunity for buyers seeking flexible living space and future possibilities.
One of the home’s most distinctive features is its history. The property was originally configured and offered as a duplex, with the upper level functioning as a separate two-bedroom, one-full-bath living space complete with its own full kitchen. The former upper-level kitchen was located in what is now the middle bedroom. When the home was converted to its current single-family configuration, the associated utility connections were capped within the wall, providing a potentially streamlined path for a future owner interested in exploring conversion back to a duplex or creating a secondary living arrangement, subject to applicable zoning, permitting, licensing, and code requirements.
The home has also benefited from substantial improvements to several major systems. The former boiler was removed and replaced with an upgraded natural-gas-fired hot-water heating system serving the home’s radiators. An electrical heavy-up was completed to increase electrical capacity, and legacy plumbing lines have been upgraded to copper. The basement has been professionally waterproofed and equipped with a sump pump and dehumidifier to help maintain a dry, functional space.
With five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the property offers considerable flexibility for a variety of living arrangements, including home offices, guest accommodations, multigenerational living, or simply additional room to grow.
The location puts you close to neighborhood parks, local shops and restaurants, the Hyattsville Arts District, public library, community events, walking and biking trails, public transportation, and major commuter routes throughout the DMV.
The property is served by Prince George’s County Public Schools; buyers should independently verify current school assignments and enrollment eligibility. Buyers interested in restoring a multifamily configuration should independently verify permitted use and conversion requirements with the appropriate local authorities.
6103 40th Avenue is being sold as-is, creating an opportunity for its next owner to build on the improvements already completed while bringing their own vision to this distinctive Hyattsville property.
Five bedrooms. Two full baths. Flexible living space. Historic duplex configuration. A home with options—and an opportunity worth exploring.
