522 N Sheppard Street

This special block of North Sheppard offers charming early 1900's Museum District homes with friendly porches and is a perfect location for strolling to the VMFA, coffee houses, restaurants, parks and shops. Retaining many original details this home has been thoughtfully updated since built in 1916. Original heart pine floors and original moulding remains: wavy glass windows have been retained in key places while newer energy efficient windows blend in nicely. Detached on both sides, natural light comes from all directions. Tall ceilings, rooms of gracious scale, and a cheery porch overlooking the courtyard garden make this home comfortably inviting. The first floor has an open floor plan, bright kitchen and large 1/2 bath. The second floor offers a primary bedroom with 2 closets, private rear porch, full bath, spacious second bedroom, and bright third room perfect for an office or nursery. Major renovations were done in 2014 including the kitchen, baths and new heat pump. The huge basement is a great opportunity for more finished space and has a 1/2 bath. The present owner added beautiful built-in cabinetry, a patio, replaced the main sewer line to the street and more.
