901 Madison Ave, Helena, MT 59601

Due to Buyers Financing fell through Back on the Market! A rare opportunity to own an affordable, lovingly maintained home in Helena's highly sought-after Mansion District. Situated on the corner of Madison Street and Hauser Boulevard, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence blends historic character with thoughtful updates and exceptional outdoor living. The main floor features beautiful hardwood floors throughout, complemented by classic black-and-white penny tiles in the bathroom. Two bedrooms & a full bath are located on this level, while unique stacked glass-block windows in the living room bath the space in soft, diffused natural light. Additional period details include a brick fireplace, coat closet near the front entrance, hallway linen closet, & original doors with their historic hardware. The spacious mid-century kitchen retains its original custom cabinetry and charming built-in features, including a pull-out cutting board, under-counter lid opener, & corner storage cabinet. The kitchen offers abundant storage and enough space for a bistro table or butcher-block island. Downstairs, the beautifully updated basement provides a second living area with full-height ceilings and its own walkout entrance. A beadboard ceiling was added to enhance the home's character while respecting its historic roots. Outside, the landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to provide year-round beauty & habitat for pollinators. The front yard features berm-style edging and a black fence surrounded by deer-resistant perennial plantings that offer four-season interest. In the backyard, gardeners will appreciate the fenced 8' x 8' raised-bed kitchen garden along with a separate fenced 4' x 8' herb & strawberry bed. The private backyard is a true retreat, enclosed by mature lilacs, multiple varieties of honeysuckle, and evergreen shrubs. A productive plum tree bears fruit annually, while decades of established growth create a level of privacy that cannot be replicated overnight. A detached two-car garage offers excellent storage and future potential. While the garage currently has a dirt floor, it sits on a concrete foundation, making it ready for a future concrete pour if desired. Additional shelving & pegboard storage were installed in 2024, and concrete has already been poured along the west side for a future entry door. A dedicated concrete trash-can pad adds convenience and functionality. Throughout the home's updates, care was taken to preserve and celebrate its historic charm. Original kitchen cabinetry, four original ceiling light fixtures, original doors & hardware, and the front door have all been retained, creating a home that honors its 1911 heritage while providing comfortable modern living.
