It has now been completely renovated and is move in ready- fully furnished. On the exterior there are new gutters and a new fence for the balcony which has a phantom storm door to let the outdoors in and keep the insects out. There are new privacy fences, new insulated garage doors & a new man door. The interior of the residence has remodeled baths & kitchen, which has all new appliances and a new sink. The sitting room in the kitchen has a new gas heater and a cool wood stove. There is new carpet throughout and the hardwood floors & baseboards have been refurbished. The beautiful, ornate fireplaces, made with exquisite wood, cast iron and tile actually work and are easy to start. The list of remodeled and repaired upgrades are too numerous to mention. Known as the O.M. Best House, it was built in 1910 and is part of Dillon's history. The illustrious O.M. Best prospered in Beaverhead County and built this mansion with his wife. She insisted on the mahogany for the exquisite staircase be brought in from Honduras. The Dutch Colonial details are both practical and decorative. The gambrels were popular for their ability to retain heat in the winter months and provide attic space. The current utility bill is surprisingly low for such a large open home. Currently, the unfinished attic space provides an opportunity for additional remodeling- maybe a master suite, family room or there are a multitude of other potential possibilities. The two arched windows on the side of the gambrel are also part of the Dutch Colonial revival style. The other square & rectangle windows all have new storm windows, with thermal pane windows where needed. Call for a showing today!
