1206 S 3rd Ave, Bozeman, MT 59715 listing details

The most unique historic home in Bozeman is for sale for only the second time in 45 years. This storybook house, nestled in the middle of a spruce, aspen, apple and fir forest on 4 city lots on South Third, has been lovingly restored beyond its original grandeur. This " Storybook Style House" was built in 1940, designed by the Architecture and Engineering Departments at Montana State College and built for a Professor in the Chemistry Department. The current owners have spent well over $100,000 bringing back the character of this home; from a redesigned and finished kitchen by Futura Kit...chens to the plaster and cedar beams in the master suite they have brought out the beauty of this piece of art. Being naturally earth sheltered, built with mostly recycled materials -including bricks from the original Bozeman City Hall - this green home with its massive curved cedar beams was 75 years ahead of its time. It is an efficient design and stays cool in the summer. The property has 4 lots and a little more than 1/3 of an acre in the southside historic district of Bozeman. The back yard is very private with tall trees. The house with two bedrooms, two bathrooms is very charming and the walls are ponderosa pine paneling in the older part of the house. There is a guest cottage in the back of the garden which is now used as a studio and office space. Show more
