On the market for the first time, this updated 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a rare mix of privacy, natural beauty, and access to the best of Missoula. Set on just over an acre with approximately 230 feet of creek frontage and irrigation rights, the property borders public land and is just minutes from the University of Montana, downtown, and a network of hiking and biking trails. Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows showcase sweeping views of the Missoula Valley and Rattlesnake Wilderness, filling the home with natural light. Interior updates include new flooring throughout the upstairs, fully remodeled bathrooms, and a striking dual-sided fireplace finished in smooth concrete and Columbia Valley basalt stone, with a live-edge ponderosa pine mantel and custom iron doors. Custom wood touches- knotty alder doors and handcrafted vanities-add warmth and character. The kitchen retains its original charm, complemented by modern lighting and ready for a personal touch. The walkout lower level includes two spacious family rooms ideal for guests, work, or entertainment. Outside, the home features a blend of original brickwork and newly finished Japanese cedar siding. Mature fruit trees, a new pergola, and porches facing Mount Sentinel create inviting spaces to enjoy sunsets or watch adventure seekers paraglide over the hillside. A two-car tuck-under garage and looped driveway provide plenty of space for vehicles and gear. With direct access to trails, creekside tranquility, and close proximity to the Saturday farmers market, the KettleHouse Amphitheater, and everything else Missoula has to offer, this is a truly unique opportunity.
