Stylish, energy-efficient, and located in the heart of downtown Missoula, 438 Jefferson Street is as distinctive as it is charming. The first thing you'll notice when visiting this property is the lovely landscaping. It's a wonderful blend of low maintenance hardscaping, fresh wood mulch, and an array of cheerful, flowering plants. There are several irrigated, raised garden beds as well as a thoughtful combination of fruit trees: apricot, apple, peach, pear, and plum. Enveloped in the flower beds and fruit trees is a private, southern facing patio space complete with a built-in gas barbecue and two separate seating areas. When you enter this home you'll be immediately delighted by the living room. It is beautiful, sunny, and spacious. One wall of this room is accented by a very refined and smart wallpaper pattern while the other end features a unique, black spiral staircase. Both the main level bedrooms are adjacent to the living room and both are very comfortable and cozy. The primary bedroom in this home feels sophisticated yet down-to-earth. It offers a mini-split cooling system and a generously sized ensuite bathroom. This ensuite is complete with neutral blue and white tiles, several linen/storage cabinets, a jacuzzi tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The second bedroom is rightly sized and feels versatile and cheerful. Adjacent to the living room this home offers a dining room space along with a welcoming eat-in breakfast bar. The kitchen space is just lovely; roomy, clean, and functional with an easy-flow. The countertops are accented with black tile backsplash and the flooring here is an earthy, coffee-colored tile. All appliances (including the induction range) are included with the sale. The kitchen space connects the home's dining room to the mudroom and laundry room - which are located at the back of the home. This home's mudroom is about as faultless as it gets! A perfectly classy wallpaper is also featured here and you'll see that this space is the perfect for your winter coats, shoes, and recreation gear. This mudroom also comes complete with a stacking washer and dryer unit, a utility sink, and an attached half bathroom for your guests. Back to the living room, you'll climb the unique spiral staircase to the upper level of this residence. This second level is extremely adaptable and offers a multitude of uses. This large space could function as a second living room, a workout space, an office space, or a non-conforming third bedroom. Upstairs you'll also find a small, windowed library nook and a generously sized, sage green tile bathroom. One of the more unique attributes to this downtown property is that it includes off-street, gated parking as well as a one-car, finished and heated garage. This garage space comes equipped with several storage spaces, a bike rack, and an outlet for installing a Level 2 electric vehicle charger. Last but certainly not least, the new owners of this home will be happy to hear that the roof is equipped with 17 solar panels. Which, combined with the home's in-floor radiant floor heat make this a very budget friendly and environmentally thoughtful home. 438 Jefferson Street is truly a wonderful residence that is classic Missoula with its thoughtful surprise touches and character. Located within walking distance to the vibrant downtown scene, Greenough Park and Waterworks Hill trailhead, this home is a rare blend of urban charm, convenience, and eco-conscious living.
