The Riverfront District of Missoula has long been a perennial favorite of the locals due in large part to its close proximity and walkability to Historic Downtown Missoula and its riverfront trail system and parks, the adjacent, vibrant Hip Strip District, and with its tree-lined streetscapes, and the older, character-rich housing that abounds, there's a quiet, laid back vibe to be found at 601 S. 4th Street W. that truly personifies the old school Garden City lifestyle; a celebration of community, a less frezied pace of life, and a genuine appreciation for it all. Beautifully sited on a tree-lined corner lot, this 2,351', 2 Bedroom, 3 Bonus Rooms, 1 Bath, 1, c. 1920 Craftsman Bungalow offers a rare opportunity to not only live in a neighborhood that so rarely sees homes come on the open market for sale, but to refresh this residence to your creative standards, and at your own pace. The curb appeal of this sweet Bungalow is undeniable, with its tree-lined boulevard and mature landscape, and the full-length covered front porch has been a popular gathering spot for the large, extended family that has called this residence home for the past 45 years. Just beyond the front door threshold, the Living Room offers red Oak Hardwood flooring to be found underneath the carpeting, distinctive picture railing trim near the high ceiling line, a duo of built-in bookcases with original leaded glass accents, and multiple windows to enjoy the historic residential landscape. A barreled archway leads to the comfortably-sized Dining Room that showcases the refinished hardwood flooring, adding warmth to an already inviting region of the home. In the mid-90's the Kitchen was fully remodeled with carefully selected Maple cabinetry, and a "pass-through" opening was created to visually enlarge the space, and to create a line of sight to the main level. Care and attention has kept this creative, culinary region as fresh and relevant today as it was when first dreamed of. Quietly anchoring the front and rear elevations of the residence, the bedrooms feature Oak hardwood flooring, good storage solutions, and the sense of space and place to call one's own. The primary (and sole) Bathroom, while not large in scale, is located along this corridor, and offers a full-sized Bathtub/Shower, a well-placed Linen closet with deep storage capacity, and common to the era of the home, there is additional, built-in cabinetry and a series of drawers tucked away within the hallway. The finished attic quarters offer 375' of living space doled out between three finished rooms; each one set beneath gorgeous tongue and groove Spruce paneled ceiling lines, and boasting cottage-paned, dormered windows and Fir flooring. Spread out over 988 square feet, the full, unfinished basement offers good ceiling height, Laundry hook-ups, and the opportunity to add egress windows to not only enlarge the living space by adding bedrooms, but to create more ambient light within the region. The outdoor livability of the residence was enhanced with the enclosure of a side yard play area, and a spacious patio added to accommodate multiple generations of the family over the years. Remarkably intact and fully functional, the original Carriage House boasts a duo of "swing-out" doors, a cement pad that will accommodate the storage of smaller vehicles, plenty of storage, and of course, the enjoyment of the gorgeous, intact lumber that has stood the test of time since 1920. They really do not make them like this anymore. For 45 years, the current owners have lovingly called 601 S. 4th Street W. "Home", and they've thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of living within the heart of the Riverfront District and all that it has to offer, but there comes a time to turn over the reigns to the next generation, and that time is now. Please consider reaching out to your real estate professional to schedule your own private viewing of what really is a unique, once in a generation, opportunity to secure a place in this highly desirable location.
