More than 100 years ago, this magnificent home became part of the fabric of the growing mountain town, Missoula, Montana. Today, the historical residence is ready to welcome only its fourth owner. A wide front porch and heavy front door speak to the construction standards of the era. The graciously high ceilings and abundant double-hung windows on the first level maintain the nod to the home's historical significance. Over the years, updates have created modern conveniences and assured safety, while never interfering with the historical integrity of the home. There is a new furnace for comfort, and an antique gas cooker coveted by anyone with the privilege of preparing meals here. The main level of the home includes a beautiful parlor, formal dining room, and updated kitchen. There is also a newer 3/4 bathroom, and access to an inviting outdoor living area in the spacious backyard. On the second floor, 4 large bedrooms share a remodeled bathroom with American clay walls and tasteful tile. The custom metal stair rail is a work of art that is now part of the home's future. Uses for the bonus space in the third story - accessed via a drop-down ladder - are limited only by imagination. A quiet retreat, a little Rapunzel's play area, room for creating....the sky is (literally) the limit. Outside, there is lots of room for gardening or playing - or even to add a garage. Already in place is a studio space ready to be plumbed into the new sewer line via the additional access point added for this purpose. There are also two additional storage structures for all the toys Montana life demands. Centrally located, life from this home is a walker's dream, yet inside the sounds of the city are hardly perceptible. For those seeking a most special place to call home, 528 S. 3rd W in Missoula is a unique opportunity.
