Property Description

Welcome to 9718 53rd Avenue, a well-kept 1950-built home in College Park with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on the main level, plus a finished lower-level room that's been used as a third bedroom. Less than a mile from the Metro, close to the Beltway, and minutes from the University of Maryland. The home is vacant and ready for its next owner. Inside, a sunny living room with large front windows opens to the kitchen. The kitchen has warm wood cabinetry, a gas range, a dishwasher, and room for a table. Both main-level bedrooms are bright, with easy-care flooring and good closet space. The bath has a tub/shower with tile surround, a new vanity, and tile flooring. The lower level adds flexible space, with finished rooms featuring flooring and built-in lighting. One has previously been used as a third bedroom, and others would work as a home office, guest space, living room or hobby room. A separate utility and laundry area has a washer, dryer, utility sink, and plenty of storage, and the remainder of the basement is unfinished for anyone who wants to customize. The tax record lists approximately 720 square feet per level. Buyer to verify lower-level use. Outside, a fenced backyard gives you room for gardening, pets, or weekend cookouts, and the shed conveys with the property. Out front, a garden bed along the house is ready for your own plantings. The location puts a lot within easy reach. Hollywood Neighborhood Park is about a block away, with a basketball court, tennis court, baseball field, soccer field, and playground equipment. It's an easy walk for pickup games, practice, or an afternoon outside.
