8901 HICKORY HILL AVE, LANHAM, MD 20706

8901 Hickory Hill Avenue is calling you, sited on almost a full acre with flowering trees and bushes, you will have some color in the yard year round.

This solid three-level home sits in a convenient close-in Lanham location and offers a comfortable, well-thought-out layout with genuine flexibility for a range of buyers. The main level is where the home really comes together. Entry is through a large mud room that serves as a laundry center and a pantry — a practical and welcoming space that sets the tone for how livable this home is. Hardwood floors run throughout most of the main level. The living room is spacious and anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and character (sold as-is). The primary bedroom is also on the main level, served by a full hallway bath.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated and is one of the standout features of the home. Soft-close cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, and a large island with a built-in cook-top and seating give it both function and appeal. A deep single under-mount sink sits beneath a double window that brings in excellent natural light throughout the day. There is a dedicated pantry cabinet for storage and more than enough space for a large table to accommodate everyday meals and larger gatherings alike. It is a kitchen that works hard and looks good doing it.

The upper level has three bedrooms, all with hardwood floors. Two are well-sized and comfortable; the third is smaller and works well as a nursery, home office, or hobby room. A cedar closet adds a nice touch for storage, and access to the attic provides additional space for seasonal items and overflow.

The lower level is unfinished and represents one of the more compelling aspects of this property. It has already been plumbed for both a full bath and a full kitchen, and you can easily see where the space had previously been divided into rooms with dedicated living and sleeping areas. A private exterior entrance operates independently from the interior staircase access, which makes the lower level a natural candidate for an in-law suite, an au pair or rental unit, or simply a substantial expansion of the home's usable square footage. The groundwork has been laid — a buyer simply needs to bring the vision.

Major systems are in good order. The home has central air conditioning, an oil-fired furnace with radiator heat, replacement windows throughout, and an updated electrical panel. Radiator heat in particular is worth noting — it delivers a steady, even warmth that forced-air systems rarely match. Located close to the Beltway and major commuter routes, less than 3 miles to the metro and has easy access into Washington, DC, this is a well-maintained home with real bones, meaningful updates, and a lower level full of untapped potential.
