2228 E Crescent Drive | Missoula
The South Hills region of Missoula is consistently a favored location to call home, not only coveted for its highly rated schools, but also for the sweeping vistas of the valley floor and the mountains that cradle the city's borders. The labyrinth of streets are curvaceous, subtly winding their way alongside and around "pocket parks" and the Moose Can Gully Trail, and tucked away along a cul-de-sac, you'll find 2228 E. Crescent Drive: A c. 1973 residence that was fully and artfully remodeled, expanded, and updated in 2018, featuring 4 Bedrooms, a Bonus Room, 3.5 Bathrooms and 2,768' of comfortable living space beautifully configured on four, easy-to-access-levels of living. This chic South Hills urban retreat is not without a sense of whimsy and self-deprecation, as a large Aqua-colored sign adjacent to the colorful front door beckons you inside with a cheerful greeting, " Welcome to Our Loud, Busy, Happy, Awesome, Montana Home." And, awesome it most assuredly is! The arrival sequence of this home is wide, warm, and welcoming, greeting you with gorgeous, tiled, charm-accented flooring and an elegant archway that yields to the well-appointed living quarters on the main, upper, and lower levels of the residence. There's a lilting rhythm to the floor plan, as it flows smoothly from the spacious and altogether gracious Living Room and Dining areas, offering good lines of sight to the smartly designed Kitchen, and all benefitted by large windows and the cottage-paned French Doors to the upper level deck. In short, just an amazing region to host family, friends, or to simply live large on your own terms. Located just a few steps up to the upper level there's an opulent Primary Bedroom with a large Walk-In Closet and discreet access to a private balcony, and outrageous views of Blue Mountain to be savored, right along with a favorite beverage. The En Suite Bathroom is a spa-like indulgence, offering a Garden Tub, a separate tiled shower, Dual Vanities, oodles of storage and a private WC. Also positioned on this level is a fantastically orchestrated Music Studio that offers an identical vaulted ceiling line, built-in book cases, and a gloriously large set of windows that beautifully frame the mature trees and a stunning mountain backdrop nearby. In concert with the Music Studio, an adjacent Bedroom, also featuring that sweet vaulted ceiling line, is currently enjoyed as a multi-media Lounge, and the best part, is that there's not only a full-sized Bathroom with tiled flooring on this level, but there's also an additional, equally well-appointed Half-Bath tucked away next to the Kitchen. The lower level of the home finds the 3rd and 4th Bedrooms, equitable in size and privacy, both of which offer nice ceiling heights, good light and sweet views of the rear grounds. The third Bathroom is delightfully appointed with wainscoting accents, tiled flooring, and a pedestal sink. There's even a Bonus Room on this level with wood laminate flooring and an abundance of ambient light, all of which works well for a private, creative space. Included in the full remodel of this offering, the Laundry Room, discreetly tucked away, and just a step down from the Foyer entrance, and features tiled flooring, wall-mounted cabinetry, an enclosed utility sink, a large Storage closest and access to the rear patio. As part of the expansion and remodeling of the residence, the attached double garage offers sheet rocked/insulated walls and an extended bay for plenty of storage, and there's even space for an adjunct Refrigerator or Freezer. The enjoyment of living at 2228 E. Crescent Drive has as much to do with the outdoor bonus features, such as the roomy Upper Level Deck, the expansive Patio which houses a Hot Tub (included!), the established garden beds, and there's a glorious, soaring, 50+ year-old Maple Tree that offers a plethora of shade and in the warmer months. Not to worry, the grounds are fully fenced and there are underground sprinklers in both the front and back yards! Life is good in the South Hills of Missoula, so if you've been looking for a beautifully remodeled home located within a well established neighborhood, please do yourself a favor and get in touch with your preferred Realtor today to see why you owe it to yourself to view 2228 E. Crescent Drive. While it has been said that all roads lead to home, sometimes it's worth the effort to take a curvaceous, circuitous journey to find the right one. MTR 30044017
