Property Description

Welcome to a rare offering in Shepherd Park where scale, warmth, and thoughtful updates come together to create a home that lives beautifully every day. With 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, an open-concept kitchen, and generous spaces for gathering, working, and relaxing, this is the kind of home that adapts with ease to the way people live today. Originally built in 1937, the home retains its classic character while offering the layout and functionality that can be difficult to find in older homes. Hardwood floors run throughout the main and second levels, and natural light fills the interiors throughout the day. The main level features gracious living and dining rooms, anchored by a welcoming living room with a fireplace and an adjoining sitting room that offers flexible space for reading, conversation, or work-from-home needs. The spacious eat-in kitchen with breakfast bar opens directly to the family room—creating a natural hub for everyday life and entertaining alike. The kitchen is well appointed with granite counters, a large Sub-Zero refrigerator, and stainless steel appliances. A discreetly placed powder room adds convenience for guests and daily living. From the family room, step onto the rear deck overlooking leafy surroundings, a perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or evenings with friends. Stairs lead directly to the flat backyard below. Upstairs, the bedroom level is exceptional in both size and function. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spacious bath with a picture window, double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional well-proportioned bedrooms and two updated full baths complete the level, including one bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and picture window that creates a bright and memorable space. Excellent hallway storage with multiple closets and built-ins add everyday practicality. The finished third floor adds flexibility with a fifth bedroom, full bath, and bonus room well suited for guests, recreation, a second office, or creative space. The walk-out lower level continues the home’s versatility with a large recreation room featuring a wet bar and full bathroom—ideal for movie nights, guests, a gym, or play space. A spacious laundry room with cabinetry provides additional storage and direct access to the attached garage. Outside, the fenced backyard is flat, creating an ideal space for play, pets, and easy outdoor entertaining.
