When traversing the urban core of Central Missoula, one could be forgiven the oversight of not noticing the pocket neighborhoods that are tucked away alongside the commercial corridors, here and there; well-established, each one unique in their own way. Located near the western edge of the Franklin-to-the-Fort district, there awaits an opportunity to acquire a nonchalant, c. 1985, Single-level, 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath, 1008' square foot residence that's hiding in plain sight within its mid-block location, and whose resilient design has withstood the test of time. . Set back from the canopy of a towering Maple tree, and bordered on the west side of the grounds by an established irrigation canal that runs May-October, the curb appeal of this metal-clad Rancher is self-evident, offering a warm, welcoming introduction. With the interior freshly painted, and all new Waterproof Pergo flooring installed throughout the home, the visual continuity works well with the linear layout. As part of the introduction sequence of the residence, the open floor plan of the Living Room, the Dining area, and the expansive Kitchen sets aside any preconceived notions of a traditional layout. A large picture window in the Living Room imbues this spacious region with an abundance of natural light, while a distinctive half-wall adorned with attractive tongue-and-groove pine accents at its base demarcates the Dining Area and the Kitchen quite nicely, giving a sense of place for each use, without boxing in the footprint. The Kitchen stretches out along the entirety of the northern wall, allowing for more than ample counter space, a multitude of cabinetry in place, and plenty of room to create those culinary treasures, and room to navigate during gatherings. At the far end of the Kitchen, and discreetly tucked behind large, wooden, sliding doors, a side-by-side Washer and Dryer set are included, along with all of the household appliances. The Primary Bedroom is indulgent in scale, and the natural light is quite nice within this space, with more than enough room to for large furnishings, or to live large with small scale appointments. The choice is yours to make. Ensconced at the end of the corridor, the Secondary Bedroom is comfortably-sized, and has a real sense of privacy to it, along with sweet views of the large, (mostly) fenced rear grounds. The full-sized Bathroom services the household, and features updated marmoleum flooring, a full Bathtub/Shower combo, and good storage. Located just off of the Kitchen, you'll find a terrific, full-length, covered, open-air deck, plenty that offers plenty of room for seasonal get togethers, or just for hanging out and enjoying some personal time. The rear grounds of this sweet abode offer established, landscaped beds, a dedicated garden section, replete with storage shed, mature trees and shrubs, and the benefit of the seasonal Irrigation Canal as its border. Single-level offerings of this caliber and price-point are getting harder to come by in Missoula, and sometimes the way to find an opportunity like this is to peel off from the main urban corridors and start exploring the pocket neighborhoods where you'll find a sweet, plain-spoken home in this 2 Bedroom, I Bath home located at 2316 Spurgin Road, tucked away along the western edge of the Franklin-to-the-Fort District. Its central location is absolutely ideal, and you can truly be anywhere in Missoula in about 10 minutes' time without having to drive on a high-traffic stretch of road if you don't want to. Just one of the many things to love about calling Missoula home!
