Property Description
Within walking distance to the heart of Downtown Burnsville, 254 Shepard Way invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and take in the kind of long-range mountain views that never get old while still enjoying the conveniences of town living & easy access. This beautiful and cherished Modern Cape Cod style home has been thoughtfully designed to enjoy long-range mountain views from almost every room! From the moment you arrive, the covered front porch sets the tone-welcoming, timeless, and ready for everything from quiet morning coffee to rainy afternoon conversations. Step inside, and the home unfolds with intention. To the left, a sunken living room anchored by warm wood floors and a gas log fireplace creates a cozy retreat, flowing seamlessly into the dining area where sliding doors open to an expansive back deck-perfect for gathering, grilling, and soaking in the long-range mountain views. To the right, a spacious family room with a bay window captures natural light and mountain vistas, blending effortlessly into the open kitchen.

The ensuite bath offers a daily retreat with a soaking tub complete with a large picture window, inviting you to unwind while taking in the mountain views. A smart split-bedroom design provides privacy for guests or family, with additional bedrooms-one featuring its own private deck-positioned to capture that same breathtaking backdrop. Function meets flexibility with a spacious laundry room located on upper level, abundant storage including a floored attic, and a two-car garage-all designed to make everyday living feel effortless. Outside, thoughtfully planted perennials bring color and ease to the landscape, while the .7-acre lot offers just the right balance of space and simplicity. Additional fenced space in the side yard is ideal for pets or recreation while still allowing enjoyment of the mountain scenery. And perhaps the most compelling feature of all-you're just a short walk or drive to downtown Burnsville, where local charm, dining, and community await.
