620 S Word Ave, Red Lodge, MT 59068

This home was built in 1900 in the original downtown of Red Lodge in the Yugoslavian district with Moose tracks in the sidewalk! The entrance is right off the sidewalk, without any setback and the south side of the homes sits right on the property line. The neighbor to the south of the property built his home in the alley and the lot to the north is extra wide with the home sitting at the far end, so there is room all around, which is very rare indeed in downtown Red Lodge and makes the home bright and sunny all day long! The home has been remodeled countless times and last time in 2011 when it received new Marvin double pane windows and new paint on the outside. Our home features a gas burning stove, hot water heat, wood laminate flooring and a metal roof on home and garage. In the kitchen we have knotty hickory cabinets with an island and a tiled counter top, a glass top range with self-cleaning oven, dishwasher and a refrigerator with a freezer drawer and digital readout. The front door invites you in with a large beveled glass insert and a Pella Storm door. There is a room air conditioner built into the living room wall, but there is also a fan in the kitchen and in the smaller bedroom. The large bedroom has good cross ventilation with a window facing south and a window facing east. The smaller bedroom closet is cedar clad. The living/dining room ceiling lights are remotely switched on and can be dimmed. A golden tub from the 70s is still there, but there is a marble sink and a stack washer/dryer in the bath. The porch also has a new fiberglass roof. The grass stays green because there is an irrigation well in the yard which can be used lavishly without running up the water costs. The double garage opens with a remote control and is tall and deep enough for two full size cars. The middle and elementary schools are just a couple of blocks to the north, along with Cafe Regis, a restaurant and health food store. Downtown is just six blocks and the public swimming pool (outdoor) 4 Blocks. The city park of Red Lodge is right along Rock Creek and only two blocks from the home. Yes, if you like to sleep with an open window, you can hear the creek rumble over the rocks! Occasional backyard visitors include six to eight does, one buck, two moose, one black bear and 22 wild Turkeys! The moose sleeps by the garage or in the front yard and in winter the deer sleep along the hedge along the north side of the property. Birds of all colors visit the bird feeder year round, they prefer hulled sunflower seeds, but in summer the bird feeder needs to be inside overnight or the little Black Bear will sit on your railing and have a feast, if it is not her than its the raccoons. $ 185,000 - Broker Owned
