141 Cohosset Dr, Missoula, MT 59803

The valley floor of Missoula has often been described as wide and sprawling, and as such, it's apropos that the prevalent architectural style, dating back to the mid 1950's to the late 1970's, that richly permeates the landscape of the Souh Hills District of the ''Garden City'' is the American Ranch. A classic example of this mid-century style can be found at 141 Cohossett Drive, a handsome, c. 1964, brick offering that boasts 2,150' of quality living space that features 4 Bedrooms and 2 Remodeled Bathrooms, while comfortably situated on an 8,925' lot that borders a 16+-Acre Greenbelt. Owner-occupied for the past 31 years, this home has been a source of pride and joy for the owner, with the design schematic of the residence remarkably well-mainted and thoughtfully upgraded over the years, with recent upgrades that incorporate the inclusions of a newer roof, new windows throughout, updated flooring, updated light fixtures, remodeled Baths, fresh paint, and even a new Water Heater! With classic design in place, the introduction sequence to the residence is warm, welcoming and straight-forward, as is the amply-sized Living Room that invites you to come right on in and make yourself at home! Anchoring the east portion of this region, the owner designed and installed a sweet, wide-plank Knotty Pine paneled accent wall that frames the Wood-Burning Fireplace just right, while adding warmth and character to interior. To create a more orderly flow of the floorplan, an additional doorway was added in the Living Room, allowing for ease of access to the Kitchen, the finished Basement or to the interior of the Garage, which houses the only exterior egress door to the back yard. High-quality, heavy-grade laminate flooring was recently installed throughout the main level, allowing for a cohesive design schematic within each region of the residence, and setting the tone for each room in fine fashion! The Dining-Area/Breakfast Nook is as inviting as can be, offering plenty of space for a sizeable table for those larger get-togethers, or just the right amount of room to place a smaller table and a comfortable lounge chair, so as to engage the cook, but not be in the way. Beautifully and vintagely intact, the c. 1964 Kitchen counters are in great condtion, with their turquoise tones complementing the freshly painted cabinets cloaked in a tasteful shade of gray, while open-galley style enhances the culinary experience! Utilitarian in every sense of the word, the unfinished Laundry Room is spacious and offers plenty of shelving and an overage of space for the placement of additional appliances, or perhaps even a folding station to be incorporated. Directly across the way there is a large, finished Den that stretches out like a long, lazy cat, and it will readily adapt for use as a Home Theater, or simply as an adjunct Living Room. The secondary Bathroom is fully remodeled, boasting a tasteful vanity, tiled flooring, and a walk-in, low-step, tiled Shower. A 4th Bedroom was added not too long ago, incorporating wood laminate flooring, good ambient light and a nice, recessed alcove, allowing for maximum furnishing placement without compromise. Rounding out the lifestyle experience of the residence, there's even a great "Old School" Workshop, complete with built-in work benches, walls of pegboard panels for tool organization and easy access to the furnace and water heater that are deftly tucked away out of sight. The rear grounds of the 8,925' lot are fully fenced, landscaped, and shaded by an outstanding duo of a soaring Pine and a mature Maple Tree, while the non-assuming Apple Tree readily yields two different kinds of apples! With private, gated access to the series of walking trails that border this neighborhood, it's so convenient to get out there and explore, run the dogs and enjoy that fresh mountain air! The curvature of the streets within the Wapikiya neighborhood mirror the contours of the surrounding foothills of the city, and offer numerous access points from its South-Central location to the major thoroughfares of Missoula. However, it has been said that all roads lead to home, and perhaps the labrynth of streets in this well-established South Hills neighborhood will lead you directly to your new home at 141 Cohosset Drive, a classic mid-century residence whose time has come for the next steward to take the helm!
