Located in the beautiful Treasure State Acres neighborhood sitting on a spacious quarter acre lot with mature landscaping, is this 3 bedroom 2 bathroom ranch style, ready for new homeowners.

There have been several updates done at this home, such as new carpet thought the upstairs, and the garage has been fully insulated, sheet rocked, and new lighting installed. Work benches were also added, which is a plus for those who like to tinker in the garage. Inside you will find ample space downstairs with a large bonus room, a non conforming bedroom that could be used for a craft room, gym, or whatever you may need.

West Helena Valley, located between Helena and the Spokane Creek corridor, is a rural and residential Helena Valley West Central neighborhood with wide-open pasture views and a foothills backdrop. The neighborhood reads as big-sky Montana: long driveways, barns and outbuildings, and newer homes set on larger parcels. The character concentrates around the US-12/US-287 corridor near the Spokane Creek Road area, where feed stores, equipment yards, and local service counters set a working-valley rhythm. Community pillars include the Montana Wild Education Center, the Great Northern Carousel, and the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in nearby Helena. Daily life orbits trailheads, fishing access, and the steady presence of the mountains on the horizon.
