A rare and truly special find in Missoula's coveted University District, this beautifully maintained bungalow combines historic charm with modern upgrades and a unique income-producing ADU. The main home features 3 bedrooms + 1 bonus room, 2 bathrooms, and an attached oversized 1-car garage. Classic craftsman style details like coved ceilings, “built ins,” wood floors and a gas fireplace in the living room blend seamlessly with thoughtful renovations. The remodeled kitchen boasts granite counters, custom cherry cabinetry, a marble backsplash, a large farm style sink, in-cabinet lighting and modern appliances. The updated main-floor bathroom offers in-floor radiant heat, a tile shower with dual showerheads, and a heated towel rack. A third bedroom, currently used as an office, is positioned off the dining room and overlooks the front lawn and long driveway. Downstairs, the partially finished basement includes a spacious bonus room with a gas stove, a second bathroom, laundry area, pantry, closets, and ample storage spaces. The home also features an accessible attic space via a pull-down staircase, providing additional storage.
The professionally landscaped backyard is a true retreat, featuring a lawn with underground sprinklers, raised garden beds, fig, cherry and pear trees, a covered hot tub area, a small treehouse, and a unique water feature that doubles as a waterfall studded soaking pool. The outdoor space is designed for relaxation and entertaining with a wonderful covered seating area. The backyard provides access to both the ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) a bike hutch, and a covered carport with alley access.
The 352 sq. ft. ADU is a hand-crafted masterpiece with artistic, nautical-inspired details. Custom woodworking throughout, reclaimed beetle-kill wood finishes, and thoughtful design elements create a cozy yet functional space. The ADU includes a full kitchen, a comfortable living area, a bedroom nook, a private bath, and a charming balcony overlooking the lush backyard. Below the ADU, an additional 352 sq. ft. of finished space, accessible via a floor hatch that opens to stairs, was previously used as an artist's workshop. The property’s prime University District location offers walkability to Bonner Park, the University of Montana, hiking trails, and Missoula’s vibrant downtown, making it an ideal primary residence, rental, or hybrid investment property.
Recent upgrades include a newer roof, new gutters, electrical updates, a high-efficiency on-demand hot water system, storm windows, and updated gas and plumbing systems. This home has been lovingly cared for, with strong attention to detail in both its preservation and improvements. The property has also demonstrated a history of strong rental income in both the main home and ADU, presenting an excellent opportunity for owner-occupants or investors.
Don’t miss this rare chance to own a piece of Missoula history while enjoying modern comforts, incredible outdoor space, and income potential.
