Step into a piece of Bozeman history with this lovingly maintained Minimal Traditional-style cottage, cherished by the same family for four generations. Located just one block north of Beall Park—complete with basketball courts, winter ice skating, and a community center—and five blocks from the vibrant heart of downtown, this property offers the perfect blend of convenience, charm, and potential. _ This classic post-WWII compact-style home features a living area, breezeway kitchen leading past the master bedroom with its full private en suite bathroom, to a back door mudroom and stairs that go to the basement. Downstairs, you’ll find a combined half bath and laundry room with washer/dryer hookups, and a spacious second bedroom that could easily double as an office or rec room, complete with built-in storage and generous natural light. - Outside, the fully enclosed fenced yard includes a beautiful mature tree, underground sprinklers, mowed lawn, and a semi-private back patio—an ideal setting for enjoying warm summer evenings. The front porch and windows are adorned with their original aluminum awnings that enhance this home’s charm and curb appeal. Alley access behind the property leads to an oversized 900 sq. ft. two-car garage, with ample space inside for storage. It also boasts gas-forced heat, a wood-burning stove, and 220V wiring—perfect for high-output tools or potential conversion to a workspace or studio. Outside the garage (inside the property gate) is a gravel-lined parking spot—ideal for parking a camper. - With no HOA, no covenants, and city utilities (water, sewer, natural gas), ownership is both flexible and straightforward. The home is thoughtfully outfitted for Montana living, with three efficient gas heaters. Two being millivolt type gas heaters (in the kitchen and basement) that will operate during power outages. A ceiling fan and window AC unit keeps the home comfortably cool during warm summer days. - Additional updates include a new microwave, roof and siding ten years ago and an updated garage door opening system. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a low-maintenance investment, or a home base to enjoy Bozeman’s active lifestyle, nearby trails, parks, and coffee shops—this property delivers.
