Discover the charm of Shepherd Park, one of Washington, D.C.’s most beloved neighborhoods, where leafy streets, a strong sense of community, and proximity to both city amenities and natural retreats create an unparalleled quality of life. Nestled just steps from Rock Creek Park, Shepherd Park offers a serene, residential vibe—yet keeps you connected with easy access to downtown D.C., Silver Spring, and the vibrant new Walter Reed development, home to shops, dining, and Whole Foods. Here, neighbors know each other by name, strolls are shaded by mature trees, and life moves at just the right pace. At the heart of it all, 8003 16th Street NW stands as a light-filled mid-century modern gem—a rare offering blending timeless design with thoughtful updates. From the moment you arrive, the home’s striking two-story foyer welcomes you inside, where a stunning open-riser staircase hints at the architectural beauty within. Clean lines, large windows, gleaming hardwood floors, and elegant built-ins celebrate the home’s mid-century roots while offering warm, functional spaces for today’s lifestyle. The main level is designed for seamless living and entertaining. A spacious living room, anchored by a handsome gas fireplace, flows effortlessly into the formal dining area and kitchen—perfect for both intimate dinners and festive gatherings. Toward the rear, a sun-drenched family room with wall-to-wall windows overlooks the lush backyard, offering a peaceful connection to the outdoors. A convenient powder room completes this floor. Upstairs, three inviting bedrooms and two full bathrooms provide restful retreats. The primary suite enjoys tranquil backyard views, a walk-in closet, and a private en suite bath, while the additional bedrooms are perfect for family, guests, or a home office. The versatile lower level adds valuable living space, featuring a large flex room—currently used as a bedroom with 2 large closets and a third full bath. An expansive utility room/workshop with direct backyard access is large enough for possible further additional living space.. Outside, you’ll find a fully fenced oasis with a spacious slate patio and a deck off the foyer—ideal for al fresco dining or quiet evenings under the trees. A garden shed adds convenient storage, while two off-street parking spaces complete the package. Experience the best of mid-century modern living, all within reach of Washington’s top amenities—this mid-century Shepherd Park stunner offers the best of both worlds: peaceful, connected living in one of D.C.’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
