This is a grand white frame residence built by Joseph Baker in historic Fort Benton, the county seat of Chouteau County. It’s a family friendly property centrally located on three lots totaling 1/4 acre near schools, hospital, retail shops, library and recreational activities. Schools boast single digit student-to-faculty ratios. Walk three blocks to the Missouri River--or a short distance further to a community pool, neighborhood park and monuments to Fort Benton's steamboat and fur trading days. The home is an ideal bed and breakfast conversion with seven bedrooms, two-1/2 baths, a ramped handicap entry and unfinished basement with concrete floor. A conditional use permit for a bed and breakfast residence has been obtained. Fort Benton residents and visitors easily and quickly connect to business and personal interests with wireless internet service and fiber optic cable installed throughout the city. Fort Benton is home to a municipally owned general aviation airport with a 4,500 ft. runway. Drive 45-minutes to Great Falls International Airport and U.S. military facilities located at Malmstrom Air Force base. This corner property is shaded from summer heat by mature cottonwood trees. On cold winter days, enjoy the outdoors from a large bay window. The home is equipped with many features retained from its original build-out including a wood burning fireplace and wood stove. The boiler for the radiators is not functional and must be replaced. Flooring is original maple wood. A utility room off the kitchen provides ample space for food storage and laundry equipment. Finishing touches include a stained glass window and wood banister leading to second floor bedrooms. A windowed landing at the middle of the staircase overlooks the garden.
