Nearby Trail Access | Creek Frontage | Exceptional Views | Just over 1 Acre | Set in a quiet, naturally beautiful location just minutes from downtown Missoula, this property offers a rare combination with nearby trail access, proximity to the University of Montana Trail System, and Patty Creek frontage. The 1.06-acre +/- lot borders public land and includes approximately 230 feet +/- of creek frontage with irrigation rights-ideal for gardening, landscaping, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. Mature fruit trees-peach, pear, apple, and apricot-are established throughout the property. The exterior has been recently refinished in Japanese cedar while keeping the original brick intact, blending seamlessly with the landscape. Inside, the 3-bedroom, 3-bath home combines clean, modern updates with natural materials and custom details. Expansive windows fill the living spaces with natural light and showcase sweeping views of the city and surrounding hillsides- connecting the indoors to the outdoors throughout the year. A striking dual-sided fireplace anchors the main living area-finished in smooth concrete, one side with black basalt stone sourced from the Columbia Valley-framed by a live-edge ponderosa pine mantel and custom iron doors. Additional interior features include knotty alder doors, a custom cherry wood vanity with dual sinks, and a custom ponderosa and coffee bean wood vanity in the primary bath. The hot water baseboard heating system has been updated with sleek honeycomb covers for a modern look. The kitchen combines original charm with contemporary updates, including new steel dome pendant lighting, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, it remains largely untouched, offering the perfect opportunity for the new owner to bring their vision to life while preserving its cozy, timeless appeal. The walkout lower level includes two spacious family rooms, offering flexibility for media, guest use, or workspace. A large tuck-under two-car garage offers space for both vehicles and plenty of outdoor gear-essential for taking full advantage of Missoula's year-round recreational opportunities, from hiking and biking to skiing and paddling. With trailheads right out the back door and the Saturday farmers' market just five minutes away, this home connects easily to both adventure and everyday convenience.
