5635 Fairview Ln, Florence, MT 59833 listing details

It may take you a moment to focus on this beautiful, custom-built offering as the "in your face" views of the majestic Bitterroot Mountains are most certainly a commanding presence in their own right. Standing at the end of a long, paved, circular driveway you will first notice just how quiet and peaceful this rural setting is. The 360-degree views that encompass both the Bitterroot and the Sapphire Mountain ranges will find you smiling. Widely. Then your focus will shift to the landscaped grounds, the numerous trees that have been planted and then and only then you'll realize that you ...are onto something amazing as you take in the detailing of the exterior of this custom built home. A traditional Western motif features hardi-plank siding with stacked stone accents, and the stamped concrete pathway to the expansive front porch is the perfect portal to the unexpected! The entrance of this fine home is arresting as you will quickly see that the interior can be best described as Neo-eclectic, incorporating a fanciful mixture of details influenced by the architecture of Morocco while taking its cue from the wide open spaces that defines the Western Montana lifestyle. The Living Room is a stunning presentation of a soaring cathedral ceiling with a most distinctive "barrel" feature as it's focal point. Floor to ceiling, arched windows perfectly capture the views, and the gorgeous hardwood floors, the stacked stone, floor to ceiling fireplace is a commanding presence that features an elegantly rustic hand-carved mantle. Arched doorways are prevalent throughout the main level, as are the two-panel Knotty Alder doors and trim work. The Formal Dining Room features a rich Cherry-wood inlay, and warm Mediterranean hues. The Kitchen is flat out fabulous, boasting Knotty Alder cabinetry, granite counters with custom tile back splash, a wrap-around breakfast bar that reaches into the Living Room, tumbled tile floors, and an impressive walk-in pantry (with a view!) Located directly off this region is the well laid out laundry room with Knotty Alder cabinets, a granite topped utility sink and easy access to the finished, Double Car Garage. The Master Suite is generously proportioned and has the most delightfully distinctive triple-tiered trayed ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and the private Master Bath is truly indulgent featuring a jetted tub and dual, granite topped vanities. The front bedroom boasts the same gorgeous hardwood floors and arched windows, and a great use would be as a Home Office or Den. The secondary bedroom is quite large and this wing of the home is served by a spacious hall bath with tiled floors, granite counters and a traditional Tub/Shower. The finished, daylight basement is a real treat and the builder took great care in infusing a Western flair when designing the Wet Bar that boasts a custom log-topped bar, rustic cabinetry, chair-railing motifs and yes, the Pool Table is included! Also located on this level is the fourth bedroom, and perhaps the nicest bathroom in the house. Go figure. A full-length, Trex Deck is located immediately off of the Kitchen and the rear yard is not only fully fenced, but there is also the incorporation of a dedicated Dog Kennel with a doggy door into the garage. A goodly portion of this 3.6 acre site has been left to it's natural state, but could easily lend itself to the incorporation of horses into your Western Montana lifestyle! This oh, so sweet custom-built home is just flat out gorgeous, inside and out. The Bitterroot River is less than ten minutes away, and Missoula is a quick, scenic commute of less than 30 minutes!
