In a beautiful Montana valley surrounded by breathtaking mountains, this modern, two story, 2298 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 2 bath home offers a front row seat to the many famous vistas. On 9.51 private acres, both the Sapphire and Bitterroot Mtn Ranges are in view through more than 600 sq ft of windows facing all directions. The home has an open and airy feeling, and yet there is also a sense of privacy with distance from the few neighbors in the sightline. For booklovers, there are many built-in shelves and nooks and crannies to enjoy the read. With hickory and yellow birch hardwood or tile floors throughout, central air for the sunniest days, wraparound decking and native landscaping, this is a very comfortable home requiring very low maintenance. In deference to the heat from sunny days, there are awnings, window treatments and exterior blinds that augment the cooling from central air in summer. The laundry room, with generous counter space and a sink, leads from the kitchen to the attached and oversized two car garage with extended workbench area and attic storage (pull-down ladder for access). Electric baseboard heating warms the work area in cooler months. The location feels remote but is only a half hour from the vibrant college town of Missoula, with airport, shopping and all the amenities you might need.
