239 Dakota Ave, Whitefish, MT 59937

4 bed / 2 bath homes under $1M in Whitefish are few and far between. This thoughtfully remodeled home offers a unique opportunity in the coveted City Beach area, just 2 blocks from Whitefish Lake. In 2009, the main floor was stripped down to the studs adding a finished basement in 2016. Presently occupied by a family of four, it has potential to accommodate an owner living on either level while renting the other level. In 2009, the floors were leveled up, insulation replaced, and structure added to the bones of the home ensuring it lasts another 100 years. The remodel included all new electrical, new plumbing, new windows, new flooring, new doors and new cabinets. The electrical utility was increased from 100 amp service to 200 amps and includes a switch at the exterior electrical panel to easily plug in a generator in the event of a power outage. In 2016, the water main was replaced, per city regulation, to accommodate the addition of a basement bathroom, 2 bedrooms, and stub outs for a kitchen. A mini-split with two head units was installed that year to provide efficient heating and cooling on the main floor and basement. The mini-split is rated down to -20F and includes a parts warranty good through 2026. Since 2016, the average monthly cost of the electrical utility, which feeds all the major appliances including the mini-split, the hot water heater, washing machine, dryer, and stove, is just $148.75/month for the family of four. CAT5 ethernet cable and power complement each room to easily accommodate wall mounted TVs throughout. The main floor offers an open floor plan including a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, a dual sink bathroom, a second bedroom and a spacious kitchen with a pantry. An office has been added to the attic, accessible by a drop ladder. The basement is plumbed for a small kitchen and, with the shared access through the back door, could be turned into a 2 bed, 1 bath rental unit. The basement offers lots of natural sunlight with the addition of three egress window bays. The backyard is fully fenced and great for pets as well as a 10x10 raised and fenced garden. Also located in the backyard is an oversized 600 sq ft insulated detached garage and a 290 sq ft insulated attached shop, perfect for a car and securely storing your toys. Gas lines are installed for heating both the garage and shop. Wild raspberries grow around the southside of the garage/shop. Call (406) 270-8705 to schedule an appointment.
