2801 2nd Ave N, Great Falls, MT 59401

HISTORIC, PROHIBITION ERA HOME complete with a secret basement SPEAKEASY! Located on a corner lot in one of Great Falls' most charming neighborhoods, this sprawling CRAFTSMAN still beautifully showcases the design elements this type of architecture is renowned for. Corbels, knee brackets, window boxes, and the sweetest covered front porch complete with porch swing invite you in from the curb. Inside, interesting vintage details can be found in almost every room such as: crown molding, arched doorways, imprinted plaster walls, a brick fireplace, crystal doorknobs, and a sunroom with French doors. The original narrow-plank hardwood floors on the main floor have been refinished and are in very good condition! The most unexpected feature of this home is undoubtedly the secret speakeasy hidden in the basement! A nondescript door near the corner transports you to the 1920s where it is easy to imagine the people of that time period sipping moonshine, smoking cigars, and listening to jazz bands. It would be interesting to find who built this home back in 1927. Whoever they were we suspect that, due to its sheer size and multiple upgraded features, they must have been somewhat affluent and influential in our area back then. If you appreciate history and are a lover of craftsman-style architecture, you will not want to miss this one!
