3404 Shepherd St

This classic 100-year old bungalow received a full renovation in 2014 and has been lovingly kept since then, including new paint, crown molding, new LVP flooring in basement, and a yard full of native and butterfly- friendly plantings. From the street, you'll enter a certified native plant garden on the Mount Rainier Native Plant Network and bird-friendly habitat by the Audubon society. You can relax on the porch swing overlooking the lush front yard and note the annual nesting of a bonded pair of mourning doves who raise a family in the corner of the porch each spring. Inside, you'll enter into a large open front room. On the left, the living room area has the original fireplace, and opens to the dining room on the right and the kitchen with large peninsula with tons of cabinet storage. Stone countertops and stainless steel appliances make this kitchen incredibly usable. Beyond the open front room, you'll find a full bathroom, an office/small bedroom and another full bedroom and closet (current owners used this first floor bedroom as a den). Upstairs, a large primary suite has great views of the spacious rear yard, a spacious closet, and small private balcony overlooking the side yard. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upstairs. In the basement, you'll find another full bathroom with utility sink - great for washing the dog or for projects. Next to the bathroom is the laundry area + a full wall of storage. To the right, a large finished room with new paint and LVP flooring provides walk-out access to the back yard. Out back, the yard is fully fenced, with a large deck, a fire-pit, a chicken coop (owner is willing to help you start raising your own chickens!), and a shed. The yard has been lovingly planted with native plants & shrubs. At the side gate, you'll find an enclosed bike storage shed and a long driveway for off-street parking. This home is located in the heart of historic Mount Rainier, just blocks to the DC border at Rhode Island Ave. You have easy access to Glut Food Co-Op, Pennyroyal, Mixt Food Hall, Little Miner Taco and are a quick trip to Costco and shops at South Dakota Crossing, Whole Foods and shops at Riverdale, and Vigilante Coffee in the Hyattsville Arts District.
