Description

Located on a tree-lined street in Missoula’s sought-after University District, this 1910 brick bungalow offers a comfortable mix of original character and modern updates. Just minutes from downtown, the river trail system, and the University of Montana, this ideal location is walkable and close to so much of what Missoula has to offer.
Inside, you’ll find 2,040 square feet of comfortable living space with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main level features original hardwood floors, a warm and inviting enclosed porch, and a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet. The kitchen has been updated with a large island, walk-in pantry, and newer fridge and dishwasher, while still keeping its classic style. Upstairs, a second bedroom with its own office space and private bathroom makes a great setup for guests or a home office. The unfinished basement provides plenty of storage. Comfort upgrades include a new furnace and central A/C (2019), radiant heat built into the back porch flooring, and an updated sewer line (2020). Outside, the professionally landscaped and fully fenced yard has underground sprinklers, mature trees, and a spacious back deck for relaxing or entertaining. A new front door adds both curb appeal and energy efficiency.
This home blends historic charm with practical updates in one of Missoula’s most desirable neighborhoods.

    "The neighborhood is very expensive to live it. Cost of living is high and very little provision for low income families. There’s also frequent crime in the area with poor traffic system and poor traffic markings or directions."

    "The area epitomizes beauty, friendliness, access to the trails, the river, and mountains. The University provides a great backdrop and is essentially a gigantic park, but it also means some extra pedestrian and vehicle traffic on school days. Unparalleled access to Mount Sentinel and the Clark Fork. Exceptional, mature trees and wide boulevards. There are some rentals in the area (expected near the U) but most homes are sufficiently valuable that rental costs are high enough to keep the renters respectful of the property and therefore neighborhood. An amazing area."
