Welcome Home to 44 Ranch—Missoula’s Most Inviting Community! Nestled in the heart of the sought-after 44 Ranch neighborhood, this nearly new craftsman-style home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, stylish design, and an unbeatable location. Built just two years ago, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home spans 1,750 square feet and is packed with high-end finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and fantastic outdoor spaces. From the moment you arrive, the inviting covered front porch sets the stage for everything this home and community have to offer. The front porch is a favorite spot for the current owners, where they enjoy relaxing year-round, greeting neighbors, and taking in the beautifully landscaped center boulevard—a community feature that provides a scenic buffer and will only grow more lush in the years to come. Inside, the open-concept great room features a soaring two-story vaulted ceiling, creating a bright and spacious living area. The gourmet kitchen is a true showstopper with granite countertops, electric glass top range, soft-close cabinetry, and high-quality stainless steel appliances. The main-floor primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a huge walk-in closet and a spa-like en-suite featuring a “smart” mirror, tucked-away linen storage, and an oversized tiled walk-in shower. The laundry room is also conveniently located on the main floor, making this home ideal for single-level living if desired. Upstairs, a lofted den/office space overlooks the great room, providing a perfect workspace or cozy reading nook. The owners have added tinted windows in the great room’s upper level, allowing natural light to pour in while reducing glare—an excellent enhancement for both comfort and energy efficiency. The second floor also features two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, offering privacy and space for family or guests. The current owners have thoughtfully upgraded this home with central air conditioning and landscaping improvements throughout. The front yard features lush sod, while the backyard has been transformed into an amazing outdoor space with custom pavers, perfect for entertaining. With an acceptable offer, they would even consider including the grill, canopy, and outdoor BBQ setup so you can enjoy backyard gatherings from day one. Living in 44 Ranch means more than just a beautiful home—it’s a true community experience. This is arguably Missoula’s best neighborhood for Halloween, with festive, fun-filled trick-or-treating every year. The large neighborhood park just 1.5 blocks away hosts regular social events, a play structure, rolling green space, a fountain, and covered picnic areas. The HOA maintains the scenic boulevard, and the home is located in the highly desirable Hellgate Elementary School District. Convenience is key, with quick access to Mullan Road, England Boulevard, Flynn Lane, and Missoula’s shopping, dining, and recreation. If you’re looking for a nearly new home with upgrades already in place, a vibrant neighborhood, and the perfect blend of style and comfort, this is it. Schedule your private showing today!
