The enchanting beauty of Montana is cradled within this Spanish Stucco Villa - a treasure that recalls the grandeur of the Gold Rush era. Nestled on a hillside within city limits, the property offers sweeping city and mountain views from nearly an acre of forested landscape.
Crowning this five-bedroom, five-bathroom haven, is its standout feature - a real gold mine! Resting on the property's edge, the retired mine brings a historic allure, inviting owners to delve into the real, tangible narrative of the richest city (per capita) during Gold Rush times.
The gated Spanish garden greets visitors, a 5-foot fountain at its heart, leading to an ornately designed mahogany front door. Inside, the home spans approximately 5000 square feet of upscale finishes, with marble inlaid floors in the grand entryway, glistening under the natural light falling from the vaulted ceilings in the adjacent living room.
The gourmet kitchen emerges as an epicurean dream with custom cabinetry, a marble island, and dual dining areas providing opportunities for both casual and formal encounters. The adjacent family room with its arched brick fireplace beckons for relaxation and shared moments alike.
Settle into the comfort of the main floor master suite where the warmth of a fireplace meets the elegance of a modern, tiled walk-in shower and heated floors, all preparing to host a private sauna. On this level, discover a handy laundry room, guest bath, and an office fitted with a balcony to savor the stunning views.
Descending to the lower level, its walkout design reveals a recreation room, a duo of bedrooms, a laundry room, and a spacious bathroom. A secondary kitchen, private balcony, and walk-in closet are the exclusive features of the suite, designed to pamper extended family or guests.
Refined details pervade throughout, from the cherry molding and ornate cornices to the high-end light fixtures and hardware. A lavish deck, dual driveways, and a quartet of garages (one heated) attend to the practical needs. While the built-in sound system, raised garden beds, and professional landscaping bring an elevated living experience.
Enjoy the nostalgic allure of a bygone era, yet surrender none of the comforts of contemporary living in this distinct home, an epitome of Montana's historical richness, and natural beauty, truly an irresistible opportunity.
