This WAS my place in St. Ignatius, Montana. We tried selling, we tried a short sale, and 2 and a half years later we turned it over to the bank. :( I'm sure it will come up on a foreclosure sale at some point. So sad to let it go but there was no way to keep it. Now on to trying to re-build our credit. I will miss this little place that was a home for 4 years and where my babies were born, learned to walk, and talk.
50x150 lot with the back portion fenced. 2 bedroom 1 bath built in 1912.
We redid the breakfast nook in maple hardwood just before we moved. The rest of the softwood floors will need refinished sometime soon. Water heater was new in 2012, paint was new in 2008 for most of the house and the nook was painted in 2012 as were the kitchen cabinets. Laundry room has marble tile for the floor and bedrooms have carpet. Propane heat. Comes with a range and refridgerator. There is a root cellar, established gardens, 1 car garage and the empty lot next door has 5 plum trees and 2 apple trees that we always shared with the neighbor across the empty lot.
Edibles on the property include: Elderberry, Red Lake Currant, an orange currant (no idea the variety but it came from my mom), hops (if they actually took hold), and two raspberry plants.
Decorative plants include: roses, lilacs, hollyhocks, clematis, russian sage, mixed wild flowers, comfry, lemon thyme (also edible), poppies, columbine, peonies, and mint (also edible).
The lilacs in front of the porch. Oh I love that smell.

The flowers have since been painted over on the cabinets but the yellow is still there. I miss my little yellow kitchen. :)

This is the new flower bed of perenials I put in. There are hollyhocks, clematis, roses, poppies, and probably several self seeded annuals in here. I had nastursium (why can't I remember how to spell that today?), cosmos, and sunflowers in here as well.
I have a few more photos if anyone would like as well. I miss my little place dearly in many ways but it is time for our family to move on. Oh, and there is a full stand up in attic.

Bumping. I so miss this house. We made a visit up there this summer when our renters moved out. It was a tearful goodbye. :( We are where we need to be but the first four years of my son's life and the first year and a half of my daughter's were spent there. They learned to walk and talk in that house. It makes me tear-up just writing this. I hope someone who will appreciate the house will come along and buy it otherwise the bank is going to get it.

Sure. Glad you like it and thanks for asking about the pictures! If only someone would come along and buy her... I miss her but there is no way to keep it. *sigh* I really don't miss living in town though. :) I grew up in the country and have finally made it back to the country. Now this cute little house with the beginnings of my urban-ish farm (I still wouldn't call a town of around 800 really urban) needs to go to someone else.

Gosh!! I think I have sat here for 20 minutes just gazing at these pics. Is it alright if I keep copies of them, for future reference? Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Your house is super cute! I live in the Great Falls area. I will keep it in mind if anyone I know is looking to move west! My husband's job is based out of GF, boo, otherwise I would make him take a looky loo! Good luck!

Too bad. But hey, if you know of anyone moving to Montana let them know. The Missoula area has great farmer's markets, CSAs, and being in St. Ignatius you can get away from the larger town of Missoula and still be close enough to enjoy the amenities of the big town. Air service, shopping, etc.

It's right up my alley, but darn if Montana is too far from everyone we hold dear. I love the lilacs and the edibles, and the size is just perfect for our little family of three. Montana is sure gorgeous, but our inlaws and my mom have enough trouble with my sil living 2 hours from here...can't imagine they'd be too thrilled with us, either!
Best of luck to you--someone will snap that up in a heartbeat.

Sorry I haven't gotten pictures up. We are right in the middle of moving. I'm not really sure where anything is other than "in a box" somewhere. I'll get some up when I find them. I really will. ;)

Sorry. Montana to Texas is one heck of a trip. Too bad you don't want to move to Montana. I'll see what I can dig up for photos. I may have to hit up my hubby's computer. I think that is where they are stored. :) Glad you like it. I loved the 4 years we lived there. If we hadn't needed to move we would be very happy there still.

I love it..can you move it to Texas for me??? Do you have anymore pics because this looks like an ideal home for us. I would love to use it as a model for building in the future? Thanks. :)

I would love to see this house go. It keeps tripping us up for getting another mortgage to buy a place in our new state. Argh! We haven't had it rented long enough for it to be considered an income property. How goofy is that? Oh well. I just hope someone finds it and falls in love.

In many ways I wish I could have moved my house with us. We had done things like upgraded the propane stove to much nicer looking and more efficient model that made winter time much nicer than it was our first year there. Oh well. I just hope that someone will fall in love with it as much as we did. I love the light in the winter from all the large windows on the South side of the house. Sunny days were the best in there.

Cute! I'm not planning to move anywhere, but sure looking inviting.
And, I think that's the same shower curtain that I have in my bathroom!

I've been to Missoula when we took our Western state trip a few years ago. We fell in love with the area! The house is charming, the right size for a starter home or a retirement place. I'm sure you are really torn about having to sell. Good luck with the sale.

And one more with a little more information about Missoula and the markets. http://www.makeitmissoula.com/2011/04/leah-lewis-missoula-farmers-market-starts-april-30th/
Missoula sits about 30-40 minutes from the house. Missoula is where I worked when we lived there.
