Description
2-Level Home with Finished Basement: Move-in Ready!
Situated on a 58’ x 140’ city lot, this single-family home
in Malta, Montana, offers 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a bonus room across
1,936± square feet, 968± on the main floor and 968± in the finished basement.
Built in 1959, it has been lovingly maintained by the current owners, with
thoughtful cosmetic updates.
Some of the home’s key highlights and updates include vinyl siding, all vinyl
windows on the main floor, and a replaced water line from the main in 2018. The
home is heated with a forced-air furnace and has central A/C, which received a
new capacitor in summer 2024. A new water heater was installed in February
2024, and the kitchen includes a reverse osmosis system at the sink. Included appliances
are a stand-up freezer, 2021 refrigerator and dishwasher, microwave, range,
washer, and dryer. The kitchen counters have been refreshed with a counter kit,
and much of the interior has updated with paint. Built-ins and thoughtful
storage throughout the home, including a laundry room with shelving, adding to
the functionality. Both bathrooms are full baths with new toilets installed in
2021/2022, and the main floor bathroom features a double-sink vanity. LED
lighting was added in the basement hallway and one of the bedrooms. Outdoors,
the backyard offers a concrete pad for extra parking, an 8′ x 10′ metal storage
shed, a fenced garden area, and mature trees—including a large shade tree. The
front yard is fully fenced with chain-link, and the backyard is partially
fenced. A Blink security system is also included.
Main Floor Living with Functional Layout
Through the front door, you’ll step into a spacious living
room with a large picture window that overlooks the front yard and brings in
great natural light. A coat closet and built-in shelving offer both function
and charm. A low-profile half wall wraps around the basement staircase,
creating additional counterspace as well as an open flow between the living
room, dining, and kitchen areas.
The kitchen has new interior paint and a countertop refinished
with a countertop kit, and it includes an RO (reverse osmosis) system on the
edge of the sink. Kitchen appliances are all included, a refrigerator, range
with hood, microwave, and dishwasher. A window over the sink overlooks the
backyard, while the adjacent dining area features a built-in china cabinet for
display or storage. Sliding glass doors off the dining space open to the back
patio, a great spot for summer entertaining. The sliding doors include built-in
blinds between the glass panes, perfect for privacy and low-maintenance use.
Off the main living area, a hallway leads to two main-floor
bedrooms and a full bathroom. Along the hallway, you’ll find more built-in
cabinets and a small broom closet. The bathroom includes a double-sink vanity
and an updated toilet.
Both bedrooms on the main floor feature elevated windows
that allow for privacy while still letting in lots of natural light. Each room
includes spacious, lighted closets. The primary bedroom has exposed original
hardwood flooring in the closet, and it’s believed the same hardwood is under
the carpet in both mainfloor bedrooms. The primary bedroom also has touch-plate
switches that control much of the home’s lighting; however, some may need
attention or updating.
Between the kitchen and living room, you can step down to
access an exterior door on the west side of the home. This door opens to the
long 14’ x 80’ driveway. It offers a ton
of great off-street parking and is perfect for convenient access to bring in
groceries straight to the kitchen. This
doorway also leads directly to the basement stairs.
Basement Space: Even More Versatility!
Downstairs, you’ll find a versatile and spacious layout. At
the bottom of the stairs is a wide open area that connects two good-sized
bedrooms with egress windows, a bonus/storage room, a full bathroom, and a utility/laundry
room. This central space has served many purposes over the years, from a home
office or craft room to a lounge area or workout space. It also features a
trendy hand-painted statement wall.
One of the bedrooms features a large closet, while the other
has a free-standing closet that will stay with the property. The bonus room is
partially finished and currently used for storage, but it offers endless
potential for customizing it to your needs. The northeast bedroom and the
hallway leading to the basement bathroom both feature updated LED lighting.
The utility/laundry room includes a floor drain, built-in
shelving for storing seasonal items, and a connected utility closet (with two
access points) that houses the furnace as well as a new water heater installed
in 2024. The washer and dryer are both included. A sump pump provides added peace of mind
against water intrusion. A cosmetic update with wallpaper gives the space character
and warmth.
Oversized Lot with Great Curb Appeal
The home sits on an oversized 58′ x 140′ city lot. The front yard is fully
enclosed with chain-link fencing, while most of the backyard is also fenced and
could easily be fully enclosed if desired. A privacy fence along the east
property line, owned by the neighboring property, adds a nice sense of privacy and
makes the backyard feel more comfortable and private.
Out back, you’ll find an 8′ x 10′ metal storage shed, ideal
for lawn equipment or seasonal items, and a 12′ x 24′ concrete pad that offers
a versatile space for parking a camper, an extra vehicle, or even creating a
fire pit area. A natural gas line is already in place, making this a convenient
spot to add a garage or heated outbuilding in the future. The backyard also
features a partially enclosed garden area, currently planted with grass but could
easily be converted back into a traditional garden or left as additional green
space.
There are mature trees including a large Weeping Birch tree and an Evergreen Tree that add great shade. A separately
enclosed tiled dog run along the east side of the home provides a
low-maintenance space for pets or can be used for storing items like a mower, bikes,
yard toys, or anything you’d prefer to keep off the grass. The exterior
features vinyl siding, vinyl windows on the main floor, and gutters for proper
drainage. The roof is finished with T-lock shingles, which are nearing the end
of their usable life – buyers may want to consider this when reviewing
insurance and financing options.
A long concrete driveway wraps around the house and connects
directly to the concrete back patio, creating a private outdoor area that’s
great for relaxing or entertaining.
Centrally Located in a Great Neighborhood
This home is located in a well-kept neighborhood within a one-mile radius
of many local amenities, including the Malta Swimming Pool, Phillips County
Library, Downtown Commercial District, Malta Elementary School, the Old Gym,
Mustang & M-ette Football/Track Field, Murray Field, the Malta Cemetery,
Dodson South Canal, and Hillcrest Park and Skatepark. It’s a wonderful area for
walking, running, biking, shopping, dining, and attending community and school
events.
The current owner has lovingly cared for this home, and it is now ready for a
