Property Description
The walkout basement consists of 1,233+- sq feet offering a larger 1 bed 1 bath apartment with a wonderful kitchen, a study area & plenty of room for storage with large closets. This sleeps 2 comfortably.
Each unit has its own electric meter & hot water heaters. The furnace runs through an outside heat pump which efficiently heats & cools each space reasonably. This Spruce Street Charmer has quite the story to tell. It was technically built in 1912 in Canton, where Canyon Ferry Reservoir now lies. It was one of the few homes saved & moved into Townsend. Being placed on 2 city lots gave the owner plenty of room to expand adding a walk-out basement, a larger kitchen & a full laundry room. If only the walls could speak! Can you imagine the stories it would tell?
Over the years this was a family home standing tall amongst the neighborhood. After changing ownership, the home was gutted clear down to the studs & floorboards. Many hours of hard work & craftsmanship went into renovating. Finding itself changing hands one last time as an unfinished home, the current Sellers put their love & vision to work finishing the renovations turning this home into 2 successful short-term rentals. This home is now a place of gathering for many who visit Townsend. Some as family reunions, bridal parties, graduation gatherings & meetings. Others visit Spruce Street to relax & soak up all Broadwater County has to offer.
This home sits on 2 city lots. With this said, the current owners were planning on building a "tiny home/cabin" on the South end of the back lot. This makes sense adding a T in the water line & hooking up the septic to the city line in the alley. The other option for this area is to add a garage. Plenty of room for either.
Parking is NOT a problem here! The local contractors worked hard landscaping adding concrete for parking & larger sidewalks for class & cleanliness. Parking is also offered on the street front & in the back ally area. The landscaping is done in a low maintenance manner. Why mow a huge lawn when you can landscape with gorgeous rock, bark & trees? The back portion of the lot has a smaller manageable yard.
This home's renovations were finished in the fall of 2023. Except for the septic line, which was totally replaced from the house all the way to the city tie-in during the 2024 summer. This Charmer on Spruce Street offers options. What a beautiful home it would be to live in while renting out the lower-level apartment. Or live in the apartment while running a successful 6-bedroom short term rental. Or..... keep this as an income property while adding a tiny home onto the back lot. Choices here.
This home shines pride in ownership & is dearly loved by the current owners, who are only selling due to another opportunity ahead.
We recommend viewing this home sooner than later! It truly is a must see. Call Jenni Fellenz at 406-781-7875, or your real estate professional.
