1308 Shepherd Street NW

Behind a classic covered front porch, 1308 Shepherd Street NW reveals a thoughtfully renovated residence designed for both modern living and flexibility. Renovated throughout 2013 and originally delivered as a two-unit boutique condo building, this residence now is a homogenous legal two-unit property with a Certificate of Occupancy. This home presents a compelling opportunity for multigenerational living, private guest or au pair accommodations, or rental income to help offset ownership costs. Spanning two levels, Unit A pairs architectural character with a polished, contemporary sensibility. Five-inch oak flooring, exposed brick, slate fireplace, refined crown molding, and built-in ceiling speakers create a sophisticated backdrop throughout the three-bedroom residence. The kitchen is appointed with leather-finished stone countertops, a Thermador refrigerator, and stainless steel Bosch appliances, while an adjacent wet bar features an Electrolux wine refrigerator and suspended stemware rack. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet and en suite bath with a walk-in shower. Bedroom-level laundry adds everyday convenience, while a staircase leads to a private 240-square-foot rooftop deckan inviting escape above the city. With separate front and rear entrances, Unit B is equally considered. Italian porcelain tile flooring, wainscoting, recessed lighting, and a blue slate fireplace bring texture and distinction to the one-bedroom residence. The kitchen echoes the finishes above with leather-finished stone countertops, a Thermador refrigerator, and stainless steel Bosch appliances. The bedroom features a walk-in closet and en suite bath, complemented by an additional powder room and full-size laundry. Built-in ceiling speakers extend throughout. A fenced rear outdoor space completes this exceptionally versatile Columbia Heights offering.
