The timelessness of the home at 253 Shepherd Road can be attributed not only to its styling and open floor plan, but also to the meticulous attention to maintenance and updates.

Attractive large window arrangements arrange for bright daylight on the interior.

Spaces for indoor and outdoor entertaining are included in the floor plan—all with beautiful nature, golf or water views. Important, also, are materials such as brick, stucco, metal decking and walnut cabinetry.

“This owner goes over the top with design and maintenance,” said Dave Kushner of Irongate Inc.
