Step back in time with this historic Montana treasure Nestled in the heart of Manhattan, this well-loved two-story home"”built in 1900"”offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Montana history. True to its era, the home reflects the elegance and craftsmanship of the mining boom and is rumored to have been owned by Manhattan's first mayor. Original details and timeless architecture make this residence feel like a beautifully preserved time capsule. Located just blocks from Manhattan's quiet downtown, one block from schools and charming chapel churches, the property sits in a walkable, tree-lined neighborhood known for its quiet streets and strong sense of community. The main level spans approximately 1,500sf and features 10-foot ceilings, blending formal and informal living spaces. Highlights include a kitchen with tiled counter seating and dining nook, a formal dining room and living room with original fixtures and a gas fireplace, a den/office (or optional bedroom) with French doors, a full bathroom, a bedroom, and an oversized laundry room with potential as an additional bedroom. A garden/mudroom connects the kitchen to the backyard patio and serves as the primary entry from the rear driveway and detached garage. Upstairs is a private 300sf retreat with a bedroom, walk-in closet, and an additional room ideal for hobbies or storage. The 750sf unfinished basement provides functionality with shelving, workbenches, exterior access, and a former coal room now used for storage"”an authentic nod to the home's past. Historic details remain throughout, including leaded glass windows, antique doorknobs, original chandeliers, skeleton keys, and hardwood floors, with partial carpeting and linoleum. The home is heated by a central gas furnace, with additional warmth from the living room gas fireplace. Outside, a 240sf east-facing covered front porch invites morning coffee and evening reflection. A brick side patio, fully fenced large side-yard with white vinyl picket fencing, arbor, underground sprinklers, mature pine trees, a Russian olive, and dedicated garden space complete the setting. The propane-heated two-car, detached garage includes a workbench, shelving, electric garage door opener, and motion-sensor lighting. Alley access, a paved driveway, RV blackwater sewer connection, and a 500-gallon propane tank tucked behind the garage add thoughtful practicality to this historic property.
