Welcome to 1306 Holly St NW – a charming Shepherd Park home offering nearly 4,000 square feet of living space across four finished levels. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and generous indoor and outdoor areas, it’s thoughtfully designed for comfortable everyday living and easy entertaining.
The main level features high ceilings and lots of natural light. There is a spacious living room with a fireplace and Berber carpeting, a formal dining room with hardwood floors, and a sunroom just off the dining room. The eat-in kitchen features a bay window overlooking the expansive and beautifully landscaped back yard. Enjoy your morning coffee in the breakfast nook or in the sitting room off the kitchen, both with views of the garden. There is also a full bath with shower and pocket door discreetly located off the kitchen for added convenience.
Upstairs, the second level features three generous bedrooms and a full bath with recently updated walk-in shower. The full bath is accessible from both the hallway and the primary suite. The spacious primary bedroom can easily fit a king size bed and features a mini-split for cooling, hardwood floors and a sun porch, offering southern exposure and tranquil views of the lush 7,000+ sq. ft. yard.
On the third level is a finished three-season room with solarium windows and tree-top views! Use this space as your private retreat, creative space, home office(s) or bedroom. There is also a mini-split that serves this level.
The lower level is also extremely spacious, featuring a large recreation room, full bathroom with shower, laundry room with side-by-side washer and dryer, a workshop, extra refrigerator, and ample storage. It would be easy to update this space to add a bedroom and still have plenty of room for a recreation space.
Step outside to the beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard, complete with a deck—ideal for entertaining, gardening, or play. The property also includes a one-car garage for added convenience.
Additional highlights include a mini-split cooling system on the 3rd level and in the primary bedroom, solar panels for lower electrical bills, a newer roof (approx. 2017), new water heater (2024), 200-amp electrical panel in the basement and an additional electrical sub panel on the attic level, and classic architectural charm.
Perched on a high point across from Marvin Caplan Park, the home enjoys unobstructed views and a peaceful setting. It’s just blocks from Whole Foods, Starbucks, and the shops and restaurants at the Parks at Walter Reed, with easy access to nearby bus routes and less than a mile to the Takoma Metro. Rock Creek Park is also close by, offering trails and green space just minutes away. If you’re looking for a home with character and lots of SPACE, inside and out, look no further! This is truly an exceptional opportunity.
