422 S Sansome Street | Philipsburg, MT

Unique property near downtown Philipsburg provides so many possibilities with the single-family home, the large, detached garage/shop and the separate, fully furnished studio apartment. This special property is located within easy-walking distance to the historic mining town of Philipsburg with its quaint shops, restaurants, brewery, theater, and the world-famous Sweet Palace Candy Store. The home, built in 1935, has been upgraded and renovated over the years to include maintenance-free siding, a metal roof, an updated kitchen, updated baths, and dormer windows. Yet, the charm of yesteryear remains with some special bits of history such as the fireplace composed of a rock from each of the 50 states in the union and sapphire tailings in the masonry work. The large lot is fully fenced and is graced by a spectacular weeping birch tree that was planted in 1954. Lawn, raspberry bushes and garden beds with peonies and tulips further beautify the yard. Two bedrooms, full bath, living room, kitchen, a separate room that could be a den, and an enclosed back porch comprise the main floor. Upstairs are multiple sleeping areas and nooks under the eaves for office space or craft space, as well as a full bath. The basement has laundry facilities and much storage. Corbond insulation keeps the basement temperature comfortable. A half bath is ready for completion. The home is currently rented month-to-month, and the tenant would love to stay. The home is furnished and all furniture and furnishings not belonging to the tenant convey with the purchase. The detached garage/shop measures 24 x 34 and is heated for a comfortable workspace in all seasons. An external staircase leads to the studio apartment which enjoys a small balcony with views of Discovery Ski. The fully furnished apartment has lots of built-in storage, a full kitchen, full bath, and a large living area. This unique property could provide 3 separate rental opportunities with the home, shop, and apartment. Or live in either the home or apartment and rent the other. Long-term rentals are in high demand, and short-term rentals for the vacation market do extremely well in this charming town so close to downhill skiing at Discovery Ski and top-notch fishing opportunities at Georgetown Lake or well-renowned streams such as Rock Creek, Willow Creek, and Flint Creek. Other attractions include gem mining, exploring nearby ghost towns, or checking out the thousands of acres of nearby forest. Must see!
