8911 57TH AVENUE

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own an historic landmark in Prince George’s County! The Cissel House, built circa 1888, is an excellent example of the late Victorian frame dwellings that were originally designed for what was then called Charlton Heights. This house served as a model home for potential buyers and was distinguished by many decorative features, ornate moldings, dentils, and scalloped shingles, and is a perfect example of the pattern-book houses that were first built in one of DC’s early “railroad suburbs”.
Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and over 2,300 square feet of living space, The Cissel House is the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern conveniences with an updated interior that stands in timelessness. All of the heavy lifting has been done for the next owner – hardwood floors refinished, fresh paint inside and out, new kitchen flooring, new carpet, and more! All mechanical systems have been recently updated, tankless water heater (2022), furnace (2022). The 3rd floor is currently unfinished but could accommodate a home office, fitness room, or additional bedroom plus there's a root cellar with interior access. Sitting on a double lot, separately deeded, the expansive .37 acres includes a detached garage and has the potential to be subdivided. As a registered Historic Site, the property qualifies for PG County’s Historic Property Grant Program and preservation tax credit.
