Five Bedrooms. Mid-Century Scale. Prince George's County Value.

The home at 3810 Portal Avenue presents a five-bedroom, two-bath layout across 1,920 square feet in Temple Hills, Maryland. Built in 1951, the residence carries the structural character of mid-century construction — generous room proportions, defined living spaces, and a single-family footprint that stands apart from attached housing options at this price point.

Temple Hills occupies a strategic position in Prince George’s County, situated just south of the DC boundary and within reach of major commuter corridors including Branch Avenue and the Capital Beltway. The neighborhood connects to the Branch Avenue Metro station on the Green Line, placing downtown DC within a manageable commute for those who prefer transit over driving.

The five-bedroom count is a distinguishing feature at this price. Whether configured for dedicated home office space, guest accommodations, or flexible use, the room count provides optionality that is increasingly difficult to find in the sub-$400,000 single-family market in the DC metro area.

At $395,000, this home offers a compelling case for buyers seeking single-family scale in a county that borders the District directly. The combination of bedroom count, interior square footage, and proximity to transit infrastructure makes 3810 Portal Avenue a property worth serious consideration.

The Property
The home at 3810 Portal Avenue offers five bedrooms and two full baths across 1,920 square feet. Built in 1951, it reflects the proportional generosity of mid-century single-family construction — defined rooms, a livable footprint, and the structural integrity of a home that has stood for more than seven decades.
The Location
Temple Hills sits in Prince George’s County directly south of the DC line, with access to Branch Avenue, the Capital Beltway, and the Green Line Metro. The location positions residents for straightforward commutes into the District and across the broader Maryland suburbs.
Room to Work
Five bedrooms at this price point is a notable feature in the DC metro market. The room count supports dedicated office space, guest accommodations, or flexible arrangements that a two- or three-bedroom home simply cannot provide.
The Value Case
At $395,000, this single-family home offers a scale and bedroom count that is difficult to replicate in the sub-$400,000 range across the DC metro area. For buyers prioritizing space, a single-family structure, and proximity to the District, this home warrants close attention.
