117 W Central Ave, Missoula, MT, 59801
About This Home
While exploring Missoula's classic Lewis & Clark neighborhood, defined by tree-lined streets and friendly front porches, and just a few blocks from the University of Montana track and soccer stadium, the golf course that transforms into cross-country ski trails in winter, and neighborhood favorites like Cambie Taphouse and the old Dairy Queen, you'll find 117 W Central Avenue. This property combines classic charm, a generous lot, and exceptional flexibility under the newly established Urban Multi-Use 1 development district. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers an inviting entry room that opens into a bright and comfortable living space. Original hardwood floors, high ceilings and wide trim nod to the aesthetics of the 1920s when the home was constructed. The kitchen features updated cabinetry and countertops and flows into a versatile space that has served as an office, mud room and craft nook. Both bedrooms are located on the west side of the home, including one with built-in storage. Laundry and additional storage are located in the unfinished basement. Glass-paned double doors open to a new wood deck, completed in 2026, and a fully fenced backyard with room to relax, garden, and enjoy views of Mount Sentinel and the surrounding mountains. The detached garage is best suited for storage as it is in need of some TLC, but the generous driveway provides convenient off-street parking. With a large lot and favorable zoning, this property is perfect for cozy living and offers exciting possibilities for future use and development.
