Montana became a state in 1889. The railroad arrived in Missoula in 1883. The original owners of 421 S. 4th W. would have witnessed it all from their charming 1882 home. If the walls of this historic home could talk, they would tell stories of nearly 150 years of Missoula history, loving care and updates to a home that is now one of the oldest in Missoula, and the mountain views that have remained timeless. The main level of the home includes two living areas, a formal dining room, full bathroom and updated kitchen. Original wood floors and beautiful, original trim are testaments to the quality of the home. On the second level, two original bedrooms feature angled ceilings that follow the roof line, and a primary bedroom, with en suite bathroom, was added over the single-car garage. The current owners have made significant upgrades throughout their years in the home including enlarging the automatic garage door, replacing garage windows, adding a patio and garden along with backyard fencing and landscaping, and installing an outdoor water spigot on the front of the home. The water service line was replaced and enlarged to accommodate the irrigation system, and central AC was added about 5 years ago. The refrigerator is newer, and the kitchen range was purchased in 2025. The furnace has been updated and a humidifier added, and a new electric water heater replaced the previous gas model. The owners had the exterior of the home re-painted about five years ago, and the roof was replaced with 40-year shingles in 2024. The attention to detail speaks volumes - even if the walls of the home don't actually speak. This is a very special home that is sure to make the next owners very happy.
