Property details

About 140 E Central Ave

This 3,500-sq.ft. University-area historic bungalow, is located on a rare triple corner lot surrounded by a 100-year-old hedge, making it one of the most uniquely private properties in the district. The beautiful 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home has been updated with modern functionality, while the original architectural and artistic craftsmanship is still evident throughout, featuring leaded glass windows, wainscoting, custom cabinets and shelves, crown molding, and original hardwood floors. The home offers many exceptional details including plantation shutters, custom window coverings, and multiple skylights. The floor plan includes formal living and dining rooms, executive office space, and a main floor family or media room that opens to the chef’s kitchen. Perfectly designed for entertaining, the spacious kitchen features ample counter space, quartz countertops, a large center island with breakfast bar, high-end Thermador and Viking appliances, and Abbott Norris cabinets. Upstairs, the large primary bedroom and the guest bedroom both have private balconies, perfect quiet places to sip your morning coffee and take in mountain views. A third upstairs bedroom is being used as an exercise/expanded closet space, but can be easily reconfigured as a bedroom. The primary bath has a custom-tiled shower and a soaking tub with a skylight directly overhead, letting in plenty of natural light. The finished lower level has a comfortable family room (used as an art studio) with a beautiful exposed brick wall, the fourth bedroom (now configured as an office), a bonus room, a full bath, and plenty of room for storage. Outdoor features include a well-maintained parklike setting with old-growth trees, front and backyard decks, wraparound paver patio, and raised flower beds. Plus, a two-car detached garage with workbench area and additional storage. This can be your own private sanctuary with plenty of space to live, entertain, work from home, and create. This is a rare opportunity to make one of Missoula’s exceptional historic homes yours!
