Brentwood Homes under $500,000

A piece of architectural history. Nearly one-third of an acre. And an extraordinary opportunity in Brentwood. Welcome to 4508 37th Street, a charming Sears Maplewood home dating to the early 1930s and documented in Prince George's County's Sears, Roebuck and Company Mail Order House Survey. Set on a remarkable 13,500-square-foot lot in the heart of the Gateway Arts District, this special property combines historic character, generous living spaces, extraordinary storage, and expansive possibilities. And here's another major advantage: fully owned solar panels offering the potential for meaningful energy savings without the expense of a solar lease. With approximately 1,738 finished square feet, the home has been freshly painted throughout with new lighting and thoughtful cosmetic improvements. The main level features a spacious living room with a fireplace, a large separate dining room, a bright, window-filled kitchen, and a generously sized primary bedroom. Upstairs, two substantial bedrooms each feature multiple walk-in closets, with a full bathroom completing the level. And then there's the backyard. It's truly something special. Nearly one-third of an acre with established gardens, native plantings, mature trees, and room to garden, entertain, play, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Overlooking it all is a wonderful 265-square-foot screened-in porch—an extension of the living space that's perfect for morning coffee, summer dinners, and evenings with friends. The approximately 1,126-square-foot unfinished basement features 7-foot ceilings and a separate exterior entrance, offering tremendous storage and potential for future finished space. Two additional storage rooms beneath the screened porch and a spacious unfinished attic provide even more flexibility. Additional improvements include a roof replaced in November 2017 with a transferable warranty, a boiler replaced in 2015, and extensive cosmetic updates. A private driveway easily accommodates multi-car parking. And the location? Another reason to fall in love. Brentwood's vibrant Gateway Arts District is home to a thriving creative community, independent businesses, galleries, and restaurants. Enjoy miXt Food Hall just half a mile away, the Gateway Farmers Market less than a mile from home, or dinner at Pennyroyal Station in nearby Mount Rainier. The Northwest Branch Trail is just a block away, offering a scenic route of approximately one mile to the West Hyattsville Metro, with Washington, DC easily accessible. Historic charm.
