About this property

Step into a piece of Bozeman history with this lovingly maintained Minimal Traditional-style cottage, cherished by the same family for four generations. Located one block north of Beall Park and five blocks from the vibrant heart of downtown, this property offers the perfect blend of convenience, charm, and potential. This classic cottage features a cozy living area and a breezeway kitchen that leads past the primary bedroom with its private full bathroom to a back mudroom and stairs to the basement. Downstairs, you'll find a combined half bath and laundry room with washer/dryer hookups, plus a spacious second bedroom that could double as an office or rec room, complete with built-in storage and generous natural light. Outside, the fully fenced yard includes a mature tree, underground sprinklers, mowed lawn, and a semi-private back patio--perfect for warm summer evenings. Original aluminum awnings on the porch and windows enhance the home's vintage charm and curb appeal. Alley access leads to a detached, oversized 827 sq. ft. two-car garage/workshop with gas-forced heat, a wood-burning stove, and 220V wiring--ideal for tools, storage, or future conversion to a studio or workspace. Inside the gate, a gravel-lined parking spot offers convenient camper or trailer parking. Zoned R3 for high-density, multipurpose use, this home has no HOA, covenants, or deed restrictions. It's connected to city utilities, making ownership straightforward and full of investment potential. Expand the footprint or add a garage apartment or duplex to generate income and increase resale value. Thoughtfully outfitted for Montana living, it features three efficient gas heaters--two of which are millivolt systems that run during power outages. A ceiling fan and window A/C keep the home cool during summer. Additional updates include a new roof and siding installed 10 years ago, plus an upgraded garage door system. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a low-maintenance investment, or a home base to enjoy Bozeman's parks, trails, and downtown lifestyle--this property delivers. Now under $700,000.00 this is a rare opportunity for equity capture in one of Bozeman's most desirable neighborhoods.
