Located in the Lincolnwood area of Missoula's iconic Rattlesnake valley, this property features 1.35 acres of level, manicured property on Rattlesnake Creek. The creek, named for its winding path from the national Rattlesnake Recreation Area to the mighty Clark Fork River (and not for any slithery inhabitants), borders the property for over 200 feet. City-owned property across the creek insures this piece of paradise will remain a quiet oasis, protected from dense development. Spend evenings on the creek swimming in summer, cold plunging in winter, and sharing this spot with the incredible variety of birds and wildlife that frequent this corridor. Share the generous back yard with heron and ducks, fox and black bear, but don't forget to look up - bald eagles, owls, hawks and songbirds all frequent the creek at various times during the year. The opportunity to purchase a legacy property such as this, located just minutes from downtown Missoula, is truly exceptional. Of course, you can't stay outside enjoying the creek all the time - and when it is time to come indoors, the inviting home provides lots of space while the cedar siding and huge back deck strike the perfect balance with the natural beauty of the property. Anchored by a large, open living room, light pours into the hub of the home through a wall of windows facing the creek. The brick fireplace has been updated with a gas insert, and is surrounded by built-in shelves. A vaulted ceiling with skylights, and a gently curved wall that separates the space from the kitchen add architectural interest. The kitchen provides tons of work space and storage, plus a cozy dining alcove. Just beyond the living room, also with windows facing the creek, the study includes the second gas fireplace and is large enough to serve as an informal living space, office or even another bedroom. A half-bath is located just across from the study. The primary suite is also on the main level and can be closed off from the living spaces on this level. There are two bedrooms, and en suite bath, and walk-in closet in this wing of the home. On the lower level, the two additional bedrooms open into a cozy family room accented with a charming gas stove. There is another full bathroom on the lower level, as well as the laundry room and a huge storage space with stairs to access the over-sized three-car garage. Opportunities to live on the banks of Rattlesnake Creek are rare. For additional information or to schedule a private showing, call Julie Gardner at (406) 532-9233, or your Real Estate professional.
