Tucked into the pines on 3.36 private acres in Stevensville, this 4-bed, 2-bath home blends western character with real function. Franciscan-style exposed ceiling beams anchor the main living areas, warmed by a wood stove on both levels and finished with a combination of bamboo, laminate, carpet and vinyl hardwood floors throughout. French doors off the living room open directly to the deck, blending indoor and outdoor living. Some kitchen updates include a LG refrigerator with ThinQ, Samsung range and microwave, and a Bosch dishwasher. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level and includes a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a wall-mounted heated towel rack. Upstairs, a bonus loft offers ample space for a rec room or movie screening area. New custom no-see-um mesh screens were installed throughout most of the home last summer. Outside, an oversized deck is positioned for evening star-gazing, a garden space is ready for its next owner, and an attached 2-car garage adds storage. Two horses were comfortably kept on the property using an electric track fencing system that preserved the native grasses and landscaping across the interior of the lot. High-speed internet is available. One mile to Highway 93, with direct access to the Kootenai Creek trailhead and millions of acres of National Forest- Bitterroot Valley living at its best.
