Charming 1920 home with solid bones and excellent upside in a convenient Helena location. This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home offers 972 sqft of living space and has served as a long term rental, presenting a great opportunity for investors or buyers looking to build equity. Inside, you’ll find a functional layout with two generously sized bedrooms, each featuring dual closets, along with touches of original character that add warmth and charm. The fenced yard is surrounded by mature hedges, and the covered back patio offers a private place to relax.
The home will benefit from updates and repairs, including a new roof, creating a strong value add opportunity for the next owner. The detached garage roof also requires significant attention, opening the door for redevelopment or reimagining the space entirely. One of the standout features is the lot itself, which stretches from 12th Ave through to Prospect Ave; this long, 2-lot parcel is zoned R-2 and offers unique flexibility and potential for additional development, whether that’s a new garage with living space above, an ADU, or expanded use of the property (buyer and buyer's agents to verify).
The estimated cost of deferred maintenance has been thoughtfully considered in the pricing, offering a straightforward opportunity for those ready to bring vision and improvements to life. Must see to appreciate the potential. Call your real estate professional today to schedule a viewing. Vacant and easy to show.
