523 Shepherd Street NW welcomes you in with the ideal blend of charming character and modern convenience, coupled with a perfect layout, creating a show stopping property that stands alone in downtown DC. The current owners have carefully renovated and expanded this very special front porch Petworth row house to the highest of standards while keeping as many original details intact as possible. Nothing in the home has been untouched and a three-story rear addition has created nearly 3,000 finished square feet of stunning living space. From the reclaimed wood floors on the main level, to the refinished original doors and hardware throughout, to the beautifully restored transom windows, this home is truly one of a kind. The reconfigured first floor maintains all the charm from when the home was originally constructed but has been elevated to today’s most particular standards. Featuring a bright open living room, a large formal dining room and a spectacular chef’s caliber kitchen with incredible custom cabinetry, double ovens, a six-burner gas cooktop, a huge island with storage and seating and a separate pantry. French doors off of the kitchen provide access to the home’s newly refinished ipe deck with custom lighting and access to the deep rear yard and two car off street parking. A main level coat closet and half bath complete this level. The bright upper level is sunlit by a custom skylight. The original heart pine floors throughout the second-floor lead to three generously sized bedrooms, including a king-sized primary suite with two double, custom closets and a spa-like primary bath with dual vanities and a large glass shower. The second and third bedrooms can easily accommodate queen size beds and more and both also feature large double closets. A one of a kind upper-level laundry center is flanked with storage, a folding area, pull out hanging bars and more. An updated full hall bath with tub completes this floor.
