First time to market in over a century! This “Muckerville” Four Square workers cottage dates back to the early 1890’s and is ready for you to write its next chapter in history. With sweeping views of Butte’s Uptown landscape, along with the East Ridge and Highlands, the south facing covered porch offers the perfect spot for lounging. Access to the home is available either through the galley kitchen on the West side or into the spacious living space on the East side. Although modest, the two bedrooms are quite functional. The bathroom consists of an original clawfoot tub and pocket door. Original two-over-two windows are still in place throughout and waiting for restoration. With your vision and some cosmetic alterations, this interior could be restored back to its historic glory! In the walkout basement, you’ll find the remnants of former boarding quarters that could be renovated into additional living space, a workshop, or home office space. Uniquely Butte, the home's foundation is built of slag block and has stood the test of time. The property also consists of a carport to the East and a 1500 SF yard with mature trees and amazing decorative fencing to the West.
