Affordable, centrally located, and 'simple yet sweet' are just a few of the words one may use when describing 1226 Toole Avenue. With 2 pleasantly sized bedrooms, 1 full-size bathroom, and a detached garage/storage space, this little cottage provides its new owners a wonderful opportunity to get their foot in the door of Missoula's fast paced and high-valued real estate market. Upon entering, you will immediately notice that this home offers so much more than the approximately 883 square feet of bright, one level living. Enduring and attractive wood floors seamlessly connect the home's first bedroom to the entire living room space. Further into the home you'll be charmed when you see the home's formal dining space - an under-appreciated yet essential room that allows for large gatherings and time with loved ones. This dining space joins the expansive half-galley kitchen to create a hub of cooking and connectivity. The adjacent, comfortably sized second bedroom and laundry alcove both create immense efficiency and functionality to this home.And outside, the appeal and usefulness continues! This property provides a sizable detached garage/storage building located just adjacent to the back yard. With a little creativity and effort, this nearly 400 square foot building could be optimized to significantly increase the home's value and functionality. Perhaps you'd like to use this space to store your camping gear and road bikesô Maybe you want to explore the possibility of finishing this building into a functioning garageô Or better yet, an ambitious purchaser may want to determine the feasibility of converting this space into a guest house for additional rental income.But the yard spaces are just as delightful! The front yard is bright, cheerful, and fairly expansive, offering a very helpful buffer from Toole Avenue. The side yard was created in order to provide a cozy, private nook ideal for evening gatherings with friends. And folks will be thrilled to find off-street parking near the garage - a big plus when you're this close to downtown!It is extremely challenging to find a home that is centrally located and affordably priced.
