This single-family home in Malta, Montana, built in 1939 features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a bonus room spread across 2,016± square feet-1,008± on the main floor and 1,008± in the partially finished basement. It is situated on a 75' x 136' city lot, with a privacy fenced backyard and a 20' x 22' garage. It has been well cared for by the current owner and enhanced with thoughtful updates. Recent updates and features include freshly painted metal siding, exterior vinyl window panes with wooden interior windows, new interior paint, and forced-air heat with central A/C. The kitchen was refreshed in 2023 with new flooring, painted cabinets, and updated hardware, while the bathroom received a facelift with new fixtures. Additional highlights include a recently installed privacy fence, 2021 water heater, natural gas BBQ hookup, ample off-street parking, an enclosed screened sun porch, and a new ceiling heater in the garage. The property sits on a 75' x 136' city lot with excellent curb appeal. It has a charming boulevard that is lined with three mature fruit-producing, Canadian chokecherry trees, while the west border is framed by lilac bushes that provide great privacy. A large evergreen shades the front yard and is complemented by other established trees and shrubs on the lot. The built-in flower beds are a nice feature that adds to the curb appeal. The metal siding was recently painted, its well-coordinated color scheme adds to home's overall inviting atmosphere. Through the front door, you'll enter a welcoming front entryway, currently used as an additional lounging or entertaining space. It's a versatile area that is perfect for storing shoes and coats, and spacious enough for small furniture such as a hall tree, shoe rack, or bench. From here, you step into the living room, a large, open space with two picture windows overlooking the front and side yards, both filling the room with natural light. A built-in bookshelf, currently used as an entertainment center with a mounted TV, adds both function and character. In the corner sits a gas-powered wood stove that operates without electricity, providing a reliable second heat source during power outages. The home's main heat comes from a Rheem forced-air furnace, and central air conditioning keeps it comfortable in warmer months. The exterior window panes have been updated to vinyl but wooden interior windows remain, the windows in the basement are wooden. The living room connects to a small foyer, leading either to the kitchen or down a hallway to the bedrooms and full bathroom. Both main-floor bedrooms are generously sized, with one slightly larger than the other. The smaller bedroom offers a standard closet, while the larger features an expansive closet running the full length of the room, complete with deep overhead storage. The bathroom blends vintage charm with modern updates, showcasing original sage-green tile halfway up the walls alongside refreshed black and gold accents. Fixtures have been replaced, including a rainfall showerhead, and the vanity and medicine cabinet have been painted black with updated gold hardware to complement the look. The bathroom flooring has also been updated in recent years. In the small foyer, a mirrored built-in cabinet has been converted into a coffee bar. The kitchen has also had multiple updates, including painted cabinets with modern black hardware and Formica countertops with a faux copper finish. A trendy peel-and-stick tile backsplash...
