The Northside Missoula Railroad Historic District is one of the Garden CIty's oldest regions, with deep, historical roots that thread their way beneath the shade of the tree-lined streetscapes. A mainstay of this architecturally diverse neighborhood stands a most unique 1 1/2-Story Cedar sided Cottage that has long commandeered an atypical, triangular, corner lot. Old-growth Cottonwoods, honored with a carefully laid stone perimeter, preside over the landscaped grounds, as a natural wood picket fence frames this picture-perfect curb appeal just so. The natural elements of the stone-veneer base against the richly stained cedar wood are complemented by the inviting covered front porch which beckons one to not only kick back and relax, but to anticipate what lies beyond the threshold. The warm hue of the original Pine floors welcome you inside, while the 9'+ ceiling lines draw the eyes upward. An exposed wood beam, with it's urban-loft motif, creates a definitive, artistic separation of space between the Living Room and the Dining quarters, while the Sliding Glass doors offer ease of access to the full-length rear deck and views of the private back yard; the rear grounds fully enclosed by cedar privacy fencing. Establishing the eastern edge of the Great Room, a vintage Parquet Wood Floor yields to newer Slate Flooring which is balanced beautifully with freshly painted gray cabinetry, a long expanse of white countertops and the recent inclusion of a suite of stainless appliances. All combined, a truly inviting space in which to cook, create and engage with family and friends. Discreetly tucked away within the front corner of the home, the larger of the two bedrooms is an incredible space, offering Bayed Windows, Pine Flooring, Crown-molding, and a pleasant palette of of pale yellow and creamy white accents. On the opposite side of the main level, the Sellers have reconfigured two dismal, useless rooms, transforming the space into what now boasts a cathedral ceiling line, recessed lighting, Faux Wood Laminate Flooring, and a tub/shower with Subway tile accents. Incorporated into this open and inviting space are the laundry hook-ups for stacked appliance usage. An open staircase leads to the upper, secondary Bedroom, whose myriad of piano windows allow in an abundance of natural light, unobstructed views of the North Hills, whimsical views of iconic and historic buildings, residential rooftops, and a space so inviting it's currently utilized a combined Art Studio and Home Office. Located within the altogether private back yard you'll find a terrific Shed, whose cedar-side exterior matches the residence quite nicely, and whose interior offers built-in benches, plenty of room, and barn door-style access to the alleyway. The setting of 714 N. 2nd Street W. is stellar, offering easy walking/biking distance to Historic Downtown Missoula, the University of Montana, Saint Patrick Hospital, the Northside Community Gardens, area parks and more! The saying among the local denizens of The Northside Missoula Railroad Historic District is, "It's good in the 'Hood!"
