About this home
Welcome to The University Park Garden Cottage — a warm, character-filled home tucked into one of University Park’s established, tree-lined streets, with the kind of backyard that makes you want to stay awhile. The garden parties you'll throw here! Inside, the home is cozy and charming without feeling precious, with flexible spaces that make everyday life easy. Two first-floor bedrooms offer options for guests, work or multigenerational living, while the light-filled sunroom is ready to become your home office, reading room or favorite place for morning coffee. There's a wood burning fireplace in the open concept living room with a custom built wooden mantel. Out back, a screened porch extends the living space into the garden and makes summer and fall evenings especially good. And the backyard is a true standout: an expansive lawn and string lights with plenty of room to spread out, a patio for outdoor dining and entertaining, and a storage shed for bikes, garden gear and all those projects you swear you’re getting to this weekend. Downstairs, the walkout lower level adds even more flexibility — and potentially income as ADU or in-law suite. The sellers are willing to lease the space back for one year at $1,200/month, if the buyer chooses, creating the option for immediate rental income without needing to find a tenant. Prefer the additional space for yourself? That works too. Then there’s the University Park lifestyle. Sit on the porch and watch the Azalea Classic runners go by, stroll to Whole Foods, or simply enjoy the mature trees, generous lots and quiet rhythm of this much-loved neighborhood. Charming, flexible and surrounded by green space, The University Park Garden Cottage at 6715 Queens Chapel Road is the kind of home that makes it very easy to imagine staying awhile.

College Heights, located between the University of Maryland campus and Downtown Hyattsville, is a historic and residential Hyattsville neighborhood with leafy streets and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 1 corridor near the Hyattsville Arts District, where murals, small galleries, and indie storefronts line the sidewalks. Queenstown Café, Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, and Busboys and Poets anchor the area’s creative, coffee-and-ink rhythm. Brick Colonials and classic bungalows sit behind deep porches and mature trees, giving the blocks a calm, walkable feel. Trails and green space connect daily routines to nearby parks and the Anacostia River corridor. A short ride links to Metro service and the region’s larger cultural calendar.
