Meticulously renovated over the course of 28 years by its current owner, this extraordinary Shepherd Park residence represents far more than a renovation—it is the result of decades of intentional stewardship, exceptional craftsmanship, and deep appreciation for the home’s original character. Offering over 3245 square feet across four finished levels, including five bedrooms, four full baths, and a convenient powder room on the main level, this exceptional residence offers a rare combination of scale, flexibility, craftsmanship, and comfort. Every renovation was completed not for resale, but for long-term living, carefully preserving the timeless authenticity of the home while seamlessly integrating modern updates, luxurious finishes, and exceptional functionality throughout.
The gracious and beautifully flowing main level was designed equally for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. A gorgeous entry foyer sets the tone, while elegant archways beautifully define and connect each living space. The formal living room, anchored by a welcoming fireplace, creates warmth and character and flows seamlessly into the dining room and beyond. At the heart of the home is an expansive kitchen complete with breakfast bar, additional breakfast area, and effortless connection to an inviting sitting room centered around a gas fireplace. A private office and convenient powder room complete this exceptionally functional level.
Step outside and discover a true extension of the home’s living space. The beautifully hardscaped patio with built-in five burner gas grill creates the perfect setting for entertaining, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing in your own private retreat. Beyond, the rear yard is a true oasis of intentional landscaping, thoughtfully designed so there is always something in bloom throughout the seasons. The rarely found two-car garage, complete with Level 2 EV charger, offers exceptional flexibility—currently serving as both parking and a home gym.
The upper levels provide incredible versatility and comfort. The second level features three spacious bedrooms, two beautifully renovated full baths, and the convenience of upper-level laundry. The owner’s suite serves as a true spa-inspired retreat, complete with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, heated towel warmer, and two closets, including a walk-in, offer lots of storage space—creating the ultimate place to unwind. The finished third level, complete with a full bath, offers ideal flexibility as a guest suite, additional bedroom, office, den, or playroom.
The fully finished lower level adds yet another layer of functionality, featuring a separate side entrance and full kitchen—offering exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, au pair accommodations, extended stays, or potential income opportunities.
From gorgeous tilework and heated towel warmers to solar panels, irrigation system, thoughtful built-ins, and countless meticulously considered details, the list of upgrades and special features is simply too extensive to capture here. This is not simply a beautifully renovated home—it is a residence that has been deeply loved, meticulously restored, and exceptionally maintained over nearly three decades, now ready for its next steward.
Perfectly positioned in sought-after Shepherd Park, enjoy easy access to The Parks at Walter Reed with Whole Foods, neighborhood restaurants, Hazel Ace Hardware, and abundant green space, plus nearby Rock Creek Park trails, Takoma, Silver Spring, Metrobus, and convenient downtown commuting. A truly rare offering where timeless character, exceptional care, and modern convenience come together in one of Northwest DC’s most beloved neighborhoods.
