About This Property

Shepard Mountain retreat Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac! This cozy, yet spacious home features a nearly three quarter acre heavily wooded hillside lot with hill country views at its peak.

The entrance is flanked with a formal living room and formal dining/home office space with French door access to the front porch. Both covered with rich wood floors, black wrought iron light fixtures, and the formal dining room accented with recessed lighting. Walk under the catwalk to the back of the home directly into the soaring ceiling living room, shaded with plantation shutters, and set up to entertain with a full wall of built-ins and an entertainment center. Offset to the left of the living room you will find the breakfast nook and kitchen covered in white with black accented lighting, appliances, and granite counter tops. Be sure you don’t miss the Spanish tile floored laundry room with extra under the stairs storage, and the long hallway butler’s pantry with lots of built-ins leading back to the formal dining room. Rounding out the downstairs behind the kitchen your guests will find their very own space with a large secondary bedroom and spa-like full bath featuring: a walk-in shower with barn door style frameless glass enclosure, floor to ceiling white hexagon tile surround with a bathing supply shower niche , custom cabinetry, and black fixtures.

Head upstairs on the plush champaign colored carpet to find the remaining two spare bedrooms, secondary bathroom, loft game room with private balcony, and Primary bedroom retreat. Each secondary bedroom and the loft game room has recently been updated with modern ceiling fans, custom paint, and black wrought iron door hardware. Of course, other than the Primary Suite, the favorite will be the front secondary bedroom with the high vaulted ceilings, wall of windows and moon window offering lots of natural light. A close second will be the secondary bathroom featuring a custom dual vanity cabinet system, large 16” x 24” staggered tile flooring, floor to ceiling white subway tile combo shower & tub surround with bathing supply shower niche, and accented with black wrought iron fixtures.

Finishing off the upstairs is the Primary bedroom suite with high coffered ceiling lines, recessed lighting, entertainment nook, an offset lounge space with extra closet space, and a walk-through spa like bathroom. The bathroom features: a jetted garden tub, and separate walk-in shower, covered in a gray grain marble looking tile accented with 24” x 24” light gray floor tile. The walk-in shower has a dual entry frameless glass enclosure, penny size hexagon tile flooring, and dual bathing supply shower niches. Either side of the shower features its own custom vanity and individual closet providing plenty of storage for all of the owners’ needs.

Finally, head out the dual pain sliding glass door off of the breakfast nook to your own hillside backyard oasis. You will be immediately welcomed by large flowerbeds, natural stone walkways, and a limestone retaining wall topped with wrought iron fencing. Take the limestone stairs through the fencing up to the second level of the yard lined with large planters, lush saint augustine grass, and a forest of trees finishing out the nearly three quarter of an acre lot. The top of the hillside is waiting for a seating area to enjoy the hill country views looking towards the ridge between Shepherd Mountain, Westcliff, and Long Canyon.
