601 S Montana Avenue, Helena, MT 59601

Property Description

In a home like this one, you’ll always feel connected to the place you call home—nearly every room offers a view of either the State Capitol Building or Mount Ascension. Perched high on a 1.7-acre lot, this distinctive Helena home enjoys sweeping 360-degree views in every direction, an unusually large lot for the neighborhood, and a peaceful setting surrounded by mature ponderosa trees. Just a block away, the Diehl Drive trailhead provides convenient access to the extensive South Hills trail system. The majority of the home retains its historic charm, thoughtfully complemented by an extensive remodel and addition completed in 2008. Original wood trim, hardware, and even original 1920s light fixtures preserve the character and craftsmanship of the home, while oak floors, pine floors, mahogany trim, and a gas fireplace add warmth throughout. There is no shortage of space for gathering and entertaining, with three decks, a large yard, generous interior living spaces, and a spacious basement entertainment room. The primary suite is a standout, with a spectacular view across the Valley, an attached private office, and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. The ensuite bathroom feels like a retreat, featuring double vanities with granite counters, heated floors, a large soaking tub positioned to capture the view of Mount Ascension, and a spacious tiled shower with rain heads. With its combination of historic character, thoughtful updates and premier location, this is a rare Helena property that offers both a remarkable sense of place and room to enjoy it.
