868 Dakota Ave, Missoula, MT 59802 listing details

Thirty four years ago this distinctive Tri-level Ranch-style offering was the first house on the block and as such, the owners were able to perfectly situate their home to take unabashed advantage of the setting. And OH, what a setting it is! Glorious, unobstructed views of the heavily timbered backside of Mount Sentinel and the open hillside that is backdrop of Mount Jumbo, offset by an open view-shed below that boasts mature trees, open park spaces, all of which enhance the semi-rural experience without compromising the ease of access to the University of Montana and Historic Downtown... Missoula...both of which are only 5 minutes away! The ground level of this unique abode features a Family Room and adjacent Office/Den/Study region, along with the Laundry Room and access to the Heated Shop/Triple Car Garage. The Heated Shop boasts a foot print of 25.5'X25.5', a 16'X9' door, 220 AMP service and features plenty of additional space for all of your "Montana Toys" while leaving plenty of room to park large vehicles. The primary level is wide and open, boasting a myriad of windows to allow in the views, plenty of light and simply the ability to truly spread out as you see fit. Counter-intuitive to this level is the cozy Kitchen. No worries: There's plenty of room to expand without compromising the foot print of this level. There is a bedroom on this level that serves as a Home Office and adjacent to this space is a full-sized Bathroom. Located just a few steps upward, one side of the third level features the Master Bedroom Suite with a private Bathroom attached. The other side of this level is the third bedroom, which has great views and plenty of space. Frankly, the way the bedrooms are set up is quite ideal. Everyone has their own space, but if proximity is important, that's accomplished, too! The grounds weigh in at an impressive 16,071' and feature good fencing in the back yard, soaring mature Pines and established landscaping and flat out privacy. This location is incredible as it offers quick and easy access to the Blackfoot River for you floating and fishing enthusiasts. Or perhaps Mountain Biking is your preference? If so, Marshall Grade Canyon is minutes away! Golfing? TheCanyon River Golf Community is right around the corner. This is the type of neighborhood that has seen some wonderful Summer Street parties, and it is super easy walking distance to the playground and softball fields below! Great Schools, too with Rattlesnake Elementary, Washington Middle School and Hellgate High School servicing this region of Missoula. The Sellers are ready to move on to the next phase in their lives and hope that the next owners will have fun taking the property to the "next level." Please have your agent call me at 406-239-6696 for more information and to schedule a visit to see why this very well could be your new home! Show more
