1852 S 8th St W Missoula, MT 59801

Remarks: You know, Missoula has a lot of cool neighborhoods, and this sweet, c. 1949 Cottage-Style offering is located within the epicenter of the Franklin to Fort District, the type of neighborhood where folks rolled up their sleeves and created the 8th Street Pocket Park out of an abandoned city lot. A lovely irrigation canal's banks are adorned with native plantings and a whimsical footbridge that begs you to stop and watch the water flow lazily underneath, perhaps with a family of ducks in tow. 1852 S. 8th Street W. is located but a few steps away from this park, and the curb appeal couldn't be better with this adorable offering! Set beneath the canopy of a towering Douglas Fir, the charm of the home's design will capture your heart and your imagination, from the curbside to the inside! Crossing the threshold of the front door, subtle clues reveal themselves as to the atypical nature of this home, including the wide open expanse of the Living Room, adorned with distinctive mosaic of parquet wood flooring, a bank of Arts and Crafts-inspired windows, and the fluid transition to the fully remodeled Kitchen. While the muted Earth-tones suit the Living Room space perfectly, it's the vibrant hues of the Kitchen and Dining area that plays so well against the warmth of the Oak Cabinetry and the Faux-Brick vinyl flooring.

A newly installed, deep-toned laminate flooring schematic was put in place in the hallway and on into the largest of the two bedrooms, balancing nicely with the sky blue walls and the creamy white accents. The original front bedroom features the original Fir floors, and houses 3 closets for ample storage.

The sole bathroom in the house was fully revitalized with the installation of new flooring, the re-glazing of the original tub, and the inclusion of new cabinetry, fixtures and a privacy window.

A lovely French Door yields to a sublimely large and inviting Sun Room/Mud Room/Laundry Room, replete with new flooring, built-in cabinets and a long folding counter, too.

The unfinished basement boasts a high ceiling line which would lend itself beautifully to finish off the 936 square feet to your exacting standards. Currently there is a modest Bonus Room in place that features a new window, neutral carpeting and a host of possibilities in its own right.

The grounds of the 6,500' lot are impressive, fully fenced and cross fenced, including the addition of a Kennel space that is perfectly shaded by a Mature Fruit Tree. A paver-patio is in place, as is the wiring for a Hot Tub, and there's fantastic light in the back yard which would lend itself to a garden. In the meantime, simply enjoy the mature landscape as it is.

For what it's worth: Sellers have scheduled a time slot for a roof replacement, and they will pay for the roof to be replaced with an acceptable offer.

The central location of this adorable abode is off the chain, offering ease of access to area parks, The Good Food Store, the newly built Franklin Elementary School, city transit lines, biking and pedestrian trails, and pretty much a 10-minute drive to anywhere in Missoula!

It's not a bad thing to be in the midst of it all, especially when discreetly tucked away along a non-throughway street in the heart of the City. Why don't you contact your real estate professional today to see for yourself why 1852 S. 8th Street W. very well could be your next home!
