Perfectly positioned on a quiet residential street in sought-after Shepherd Park, this timeless Colonial blends classic architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. The result is a home that feels both elegant and effortlessly livable. With southern exposures and abundant windows, the home is filled with natural light and offers high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a bright, flowing layout.
The main level is designed for both comfortable daily living and entertaining, featuring a gracious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a spacious dining room that easily accommodates a table for six or more, and a beautifully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and clean, contemporary finishes. A versatile sunroom provides the perfect space for a home office, guest room, or creative studio and offers direct access to the patio, further extending the living space. A powder room completes this level. Step outside to a true backyard retreat. A spacious stone patio opens to an expansive, flat, fully fenced yard, offering a rare amount of outdoor space in the city. Whether hosting gatherings, cultivating a garden, or simply unwinding, this private sanctuary enhances the home's exceptional indoor-outdoor flow.
The upper levels offer three bedrooms and two full baths. The serene primary suite feels like a private escape, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring skylights, a double vanity, a beautifully tiled walk-in shower with a built-in bench, a linen closet, and a walk-in closet with custom Elfa closet system. The second bedroom is also generously sized and features a large closet. A stylishly updated hall bath includes a tub and shower along with its own linen closet (so much storage!). Just beyond, a charming office or reading nook with a large window leads to the third level, where the third bedroom features built-in shelving, skylights with custom shades, and a large closet. The finished lower level offers additional flexible living space, including a recreation room, a full bath with shower, a laundry closet, and additional storage. A convenient side entrance provides easy access to this level.
The location is equally exceptional. Floral Street is a quiet, tree-lined block known for its block parties and beautiful cherry blossoms in the spring. Just a few blocks away, The Parks at Walter Reed offers convenient access to Whole Foods, Starbucks, Juneberry, and other neighborhood favorites, along with a popular farmers market and seasonal events, including summer jazz concerts on the Great Lawn. Rock Creek Park, with its extensive trails and natural beauty, is also nearby. Multiple bus lines serve the area, and the home is less than three-quarters of a mile from the Takoma Metro and the shops, restaurants, and cafes of downtown Takoma. The property is zoned for Shepherd Elementary, Deal Middle School, and Jackson-Reed High School. 1219 Floral Street NW offers the rare combination of timeless charm, modern comfort, exceptional outdoor space, and a coveted Shepherd Park location.
