Built in 1912, this charming piece of Three Forks history has been thoughtfully cared for while retaining the architectural character that makes an older home so special.

Traditional millwork, builtins, period light fixtures, and architectural details carry throughout the home, with large windows that bring in abundant natural light. The main level includes a comfortable living room, a formal dining area with builtin cabinetry, a country kitchen, and an enclosed front sunroom that provides a wonderful additional sitting or flex space. A rear mudroom off the kitchen offers direct backyard access and a convenient place for shoes, coats, groceries, and everyday storage. Upstairs are three bedrooms along with a light-filled landing area that offers another cozy place to read, relax, or work. The property's outdoor spaces are especially appealing. A large fenced backyard provides an uncommon amount of room for an intown home, with mature shade trees, an apple tree, garden beds, and plenty of open lawn space. A rear deck extends the living space outdoors, making the property well suited for anyone who enjoys spending time outside. A sand-point well is used for lawn and garden irrigation. The home also includes a full unfinished walkout basement with direct access to the backyard. Recent improvements include new windows, roof, fencing, fresh exterior paint and railing, appliances, and the addition of a sauna, allowing the home to retain its historic personality while benefiting from meaningful updates. Located in a quiet neighborhood at the edge of Three Forks, the property offers a sense of space and privacy while remaining close to the heart of town... Local shops, restaurants, coffee houses, a brewery, the grocery store, and the rodeo grounds are all within walking distance, with nearby access to parks, walking paths, rivers, ponds, and the many recreational opportunities that make this area of Montana so special. A rare opportunity to own a character-filled historic home with a beautiful yard, thoughtful updates, and one of the more distinctive settings in Three Forks.
