About this home

NOT FOR RENT. A private estate in Burnsville’s Clearmont community, this newly listed three-bedroom, two-bathroom home pairs wide open breathing room with convenient access to town. With 1,923 square feet on one level, it offers generously sized rooms, abundant natural light, and an easygoing layout suited to everyday living. Both the front and back decks invite life outdoors. Fire up the grill, settle in with a cool drink, or enjoy the good views from the home’s elevated setting. The front and back lawns provide useful space for games, gardening, gatherings, or simply giving everyone a little more room to roam. The lot is private, creating a welcome retreat without putting daily errands out of reach. A huge detached outbuilding adds exciting possibilities and could make an excellent artist studio, workshop, hobby room, or storage hub. Two detached carports provide covered parking, so vehicles and outdoor gear can stay protected and driveway logistics do not have to become the day’s main event. The nearby river makes fishing outings easy to imagine, while Ingles Markets and downtown Burnsville are only minutes away for groceries, dining, and everyday needs. Central cooling adds comfort when warmer weather arrives. Here is a great opportunity to own a home with indoor space, flexible extras, ample parking, and decks made for mountain afternoons. Schedule your private tour, step outside, and picture your next cookout.
