SOLID SHEPHERD SHOWPLACE! Along tree-lined Shepherd Street, where the Columbia Heights and Petworth neighborhoods meld into a residential retreat, 956 Shepherd St. NW positively pops in its elegant black-and-white styling. We have, however, kept the alley-adjacent wall of this end-unit row home au naturel to show off the masterful repointing in brick red and white mortar. Once inside, you’ll appreciate all the natural light afforded by that same wall’s numerous windows. You’ll begin to make yourself at home as you step onto the wide front porch, complete with ceiling fan to make mid-summer lounging more comfortable. Once inside, the depth and width of this solidly renovated showplace will impress, as will the warm wood flooring and designer light fixtures. Past the living room, the kitchen is both efficient and elegant, with abundant built-in storage, to include a pantry, followed by formal dining and powder room. Up the original staircase, the second floor offers three bedrooms, topped with a new roof. To the front, the primary ensuite bedroom invites you to savor its vaulted ceiling, stunning chandelier, and accents in brick and wood. Midway back, you’ll find two more bedrooms and a second full bath. Off the rear bedroom, a covered balcony with engineered flooring is your secret sanctuary. The bottom level of this magnificent manse adds yet another private room, possibly the perfect home office, and a huge space for easy entertaining with ample wet bar and third full bath. Once you’ve made 956 Shepherd your home, however, you may be spending most of your time outside in the ridiculously deep, fenced back yard. From the main level, you’ll enter this oasis through sliding glass doors that lead first to a wide deck. Beyond, the back yard beckons, its pergola festooned with party lights. Notably, that back fence doesn’t mark the end of your yard, but the transition to the fenced parking pad. From top to bottom, front to back, this resolutely renovated Shepherd showplace welcomes you.
