Mardi's House for Sale

One of the best values in Pleasant View!

ALL these appliances are included: GE Sensor microwave, Frigidaire stove, Frigidaire dishwasher, large-capacity GE refrigerator (w/ice maker), large-capacity Whirlpool Designer Style washer/dryer, and a garbage disposal.

The house sits on a spacious corner lot, with a distant kitty-corner view of Hellgate Elementary, open field, complete with a mountain view, including Lolo Peak! Incredible sunset views regularly paint the skies outside the dining room window.

The two-car garage is sheet-rocked, painted and the garage door is insulated. This was the first model home in Phase I of Pleasant View, so there was a heater set up on the upper northwest wall of the garage, as well as many little extras.

This floor plan is great! It has approximately 1,348 square feet of single-level living area. The floor plan flows smoothly and makes good use of the space. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and I have maximized all the closet shelving for lots of extra closet space — food pantry, bedrooms, coat closet, linen closet, bathroom closet, and laundry closet.

The master bedroom is very spacious and has a master bath that can only be accessed from the master bedroom. There is a huge walk-in closet in the master bedroom, which includes wrap-around rods and shelving. A tower corner shelf is also included for maximum storage. The crawl space entry door is in this closet.

The laundry is along side the dining room wall, with two, louvered-door entry.

Light-colored cabinets and vaulted ceilings create a great feel in the kitchen/dining/family room area. There is new linoleum in the kitchen and entry way, along with new Pergo in the dining/entertainment/music area. There is a dimmer slider on the dining room light, and an up-graded flourescent light bar in the kitchen, making things bright and cheerful.

A light, cream color adorns the interior walls and terre cotta carpet throughout. Teal blinds in the dining room, terra cotta blinds in the office, and wheat in all the other rooms.

I added the double-cell, top-down/bottom up blinds to every window, except the kitchen and master closet windows. These blinds have cut my winter heating bills by 1/3. New, no-see venetian blinds are in the kitchen and master closet windows. The dining room windows are very large and allow for awesome mountain views and sunsets. The home has a very open and airy feel because of the many windows.

The kitchen contains a large pantry and plenty of cabinet space, including soffets. The dining/family area extends into a separate living space, away from the living room. The TV can be in the living room or the extended dining room depending on family activities--so much more than a home with just a great room.

There is a mature lawn and an underground sprinkler system. Two trees and various bushes provide a simple, clean-line landscape. I added a yellow rose bush by the outside sprinkler controls. The original roof was replaced last year, so the roof is one year old.

The location of this house within Pleasant View is just the best. It is on the next street off Flynn--not directly on Flynn thereby avoiding busy traffic—and not buried within the development. It is two blocks from the neighborhood store and across the street from the community mailboxes. It is two minutes from the post office, Best Buy, Home Depot, Radio Shack, Costco, Taco Del Sol, PostNet, Perkins, Mullan Station, and only five minutes from the airport. It’s only five to eight minutes to Saint Pat’s via Broadway (which is a direct run to downtown), and five to eight minutes to Community Medical Center.

Other extras: Two garage door openers. There is an additional outlet strip and phone line in garage. The office and 2nd bedroom have an extra phone line. High speed internet is available. Shelving has been added on both sides of the garage. In the garage, there is also a storage closet, a work bench with a lower shelf, and a window with a venetian blind. A louvered window has been added in the attic that accommodates a fan which expels hot air from the attic when it reaches 80 degrees.

More extras: The basement has a four-foot crawlspace and has a certified radon barrier with exhaust fan. Basement air is expelled through a roof vent. The radon fan box is alongside the automatic lawn sprinkler controls in the garage. The radon barrier also cuts down on insect invasion and moisture, as well as radon.

I’ve added a sprinkling system shut-off valve alongside the north west corner of the house to shut off watering along the northside of the house. It is on the same zone as the area on the south side of the house, which takes more water in hot summer. This way, over watering doesn’t occur between the houses. I’ve installed a line for the automatic ice maker, as well as a quick-release gas line for the gas BBQ on the deck. All drain spouts have at least four-foot drain spouts away from house, and all have “lift ups” and braces for easy mowing. Lawn can be mowed in less than 10 minutes!

Compare various residences’ interior prices per square foot, especially in the same neighborhood. Then, consider the location of the house and the lot size, along with the corner lot location and additional easement which provides the feel of spaciousness for this location.

Through our $20 per month Homeowner’s Association fees, our contractors take care of mowing, fertilizing and weed care in our common areas...which means from the boulevard to the immediate landscaping alongside the southern part of the house. Contractors also start plowing the main sidewalks when the snow hits the 1” mark! We have a conscientious Board who has worked hard to maintain a happy, healthy neighborhood community. We’ve even started having annual summer picnics in the park next to Bailey’s Store! Our neighborhood is safe and I appreciate my thoughtful neighbors.

Pleasant View is a phenomenal sub-division where people take pride in their homes. It is convenient enough that you can walk to the big box stores, restaurants, and movies. The esteemed Hellgate Elementary School is only blocks away. The city of Missoula is expanding this way; it is obvious since most everything in this direction is new. The public Mountain Line bus line pickup is close, along with school bussing for the high schoolers.

Don’t wait to make an offer on this house. It’s one of the best values in Pleasant View - and probably Missoula. Please come view.
