Extraordinary 2BR/1BA architectural masterpiece with a private terrace in the beautiful Shafer Mansion. The Schafer sits on a quiet corner in Mount Pleasant. The idyllic setting surrounded by lush landscaping and native plantings creates a charming welcome to the renovated 1909 mansion. Completely transformed in 2005, the thoughtful update preserved the very best design elements of the period with a modern twist. This spectacular condo is in the former mansion conservatory framed by original bay windows and 11-foot ceilings filling the space with incredible light. Gorgeous hardwood flooring, extensive trim work, built-ins, and window seats add to the home’s elegant ambiance. The stylish open-concept kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and an island with seating. Entertainers will love the open flow to the sunny dining area and spacious private terrace. The bedrooms are lovely with graceful styling and unique features with French doors, vaulted ceiling, and dormer windows. Relax on the expansive private terrace where you can watch the sun set and the moon rise, and occasionally hear a roar from the lions at nearby National Zoo. The glorious common areas are a secluded oasis with a beautiful surrounding yard and gardens along with a cozy fire pit. Neighbors at The Shafer adore their picturesque setting along with everything there is to love about the area.
