4010 Fox Farm Rd Missoula, MT 59802

Remarks: The Upper Rattlesnake Valley of Missoula is one of the City's genuine treasures, offering a semi-rural setting that is embraced by the nearby mountains, permeated with soaring pines, offering enviable access to the Rattlesnake Wilderness Trailhead, traversed by Rattlesnake Creek, and is easy walking or biking distance to a myriad of trails located within the Rattlesnake ''Greenway.''In 2001, one of the last, best lots available within the tony Lincolnwood neighborhood was secured, and 4010 Fox Farm Road was erected as a contemporary homage to the mountain top Watch Towers that populate the American West: its sleek, straight forward lines, classic detailing and perfect placement within the landscape holding its own with the much larger creek-front residences located across the way. Intentionally conceived as a residence that would yield to its surroundings, great care and attention was put into the water-wise, xeriscaped front portion of the lot, establishing an intrinsic, low-maintenance landscape with hardy curb appeal.

It's readily apparent that while the foot-print of the street level of the home is concise in square footage, the proportions of the interior are already on a grand scale and worthy of attention, as the 9' ceiling lines draw the eye upward, and the Alder wood accents enhance the overall design schematic.

Cool, natural tiled flooring offers a warm introduction, while a built in bench (with additional storage underneath) tucked inside the front door, and set beneath glass block accents, make for a great "Drop Station" that is infused with ambient light.

Discreetly ensconced on this level there is a fantastic Master Bedroom Suite that introduces the whimsical picture railing trim that will be mirrored throughout the remainder of this classically styled residence.

An impressive floor-to-ceiling, 20-Drawer, Alder wood, custom built Dresser flanks the East Wall, adding dimension and abundant artistic storage space to this comfortable space.

The En Suite Bathroom boasts a Dual-Vanity, Art Deco elements of design, an indulgent, tiled, walk-in, dual-shower heads, glass block accents, and the cohesively designed Alder wood cabinetry found within the bedroom.

The carpet clad stairway leading to the upper level is purposely wide, the wall expanse on either side offering good exposure for artwork display, while the floor to ceiling, sliding glass doors at the top give you a gorgeous glimpse, a promise all good things to come!

The upper level is a grand display of light, open spaces, 9' ceilings, and a flank of windows on all four walls that allows one to truly celebrate what it means to live large, inside and out.

On either end of this magnificent region there is sliding glass door access to covered, open-air balconies, while the U-shaped floor plan offers an ease, a fluidity of movement from one space to the next.

The Kitchen is comfortable in scope and scale, playing host to a series of counter tops, sideboard Alder cabinetry, and a chopping block island that's perfectly placed within reach of the household appliances. Located on the opposite corner there is a built-in "L-Shaped" bench (with additional storage underneath) with a movable table that will allow for comfortable dining on all occasions.

Across the way, the scope of the Living space is enhanced with a custom, built-in Entertainment Center, while the cozier enclave on the opposite side lends itself to a fantastic reading nook, warmed by the gas stove in the cooler months.

The Secondary Bedroom is tucked away off the Living Room, and offers private access to the beautifully appointed Bathroom that services this region.

A French Door leads to a most creative Library that offers scads of shelving, built-in desk space, and glorious views of the surrounding trees.

The rear grounds of this atypical, artistically interesting offering are fenced with a zen-like appreciation to detail, sporting horizontal wood fence lines, established landscaping, raised garden boxes, and a grove of Aspens and Pines on the hillside.

Make no mistake, while this sleek, chic, contemporary abode will leave you feeling as if you're deep within the woods of Western Montana, you're actually only a 10 minute journey away to the University of Montana and to Historic Downtown Missoula!

You already know that a Missoula lifestyle is a unique treasure trove of life experiences. Come see for yourself why 4010 Fox Farm Road may very be the lifestyle you've been seeking all along.
