Welcome to this charming Craftsman style 4-BR, 3 BA home. Follow the curved pathway to an inviting covered front porch framed with brick-clad tapered columns, true to the Art and Crafts era. Smartly chosen mix of wood-look siding w/ brick accents make this inspired home low maintenance. All new windows (2017) make it energy efficient. Inside, the large living area beautiful coffered ceilings and a gas burning fireplace add character. The living/dining area flows into the kitchen, creating open concept living at its best. The main level features a luxurious master king-sized ensuite with vaulted ceilings. The spa like bath, double vanities and walk-in shower invite you to slow down and relax. Two more BRs, full BA and laundry are also on the main level. The Kitchen’s location in back near the 2 car garage makes it easy to bring in groceries. As an extra bonus, upstairs has been NEWLY REMODELED to add a gorgeous 4th BR, 3rd BA and large walk-in closet (‘19). New HVAC upstairs (’19).
Wonderful home in the wooded hills of Helena. Fabulous neighborhood for walking, hiking, biking, swimming, and enjoying a great clubhouse and playground. This home is absolutely precious with coffered ceilings in the great room, beautiful granite countertops with huge island, and great storage upstairs that can be finished later as a bonus room. Sellers have loved this home (bought brand new last May 2012), but have been transferred. Home priced below sales price from a year ago! So don't let this beauty slip by. Best deal in the neighborhood!
