3 Bedroom 2 Bath Ranch-Style Home for Rent $1,495 February 2015

This 2,000 s.f. home is ready for occupancy and has many excellent features:

• The yard is huge and partially fenced.  It is entirely fenced in the "front" and open on the side and back yards.  
• Located next door to horses, this area still has a rural feel.  
• Area for a fire pit in the backyard.  
• A nice back deck with a hot-tub.
• Many miles of hiking and mountain biking out the back door, the outdoor living is excellent.
• Three big trees on the west side provide shade in the summer. 

Completely remodeled in 2007, the home has a 95% high-efficiency electric air-source heat pump that helps with the air conditioning bill.  Water is on a well, so there are no Mountain Water bills to pay.  There are propane gas fireplaces in the living room and downstairs bonus room that provide heat for those areas in the winter. The yard has underground, automatic irrigation and as big as it is, that’s a good thing!  Qwest and DirectTV are available (no Bresnan in this area) for internet, phone and television. 

Main Floor: 

• 3 bedrooms, 1 large full bath (with a double sink, linen cabinet, tub & shower), 
• A family room, living room, huge kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave & dishwasher included) 
• Large laundry room (you will need your own washer & dryer) with extra storage.  

The Basement: 

• Large living/bonus room with a walk-in closet and fireplace.  
• Full bath with single sink and shower.  
• The downstairs area cannot be considered a bedroom because of the egress, however, it would make an excellent master suite or second family room for the kids and it does have a large non-traditional egress in case of fire.  

All windows, except the large living room window, have relatively new honeycomb shades and have been replaced with new vinyl high efficiency frames.  The bedrooms are good sizes with excellent closet space.  There is new carpeting in the bedrooms and in the big living room, and the downstairs area.

With new siding, a fairly new roof, and a big double-car garage with automatic garage door opener, and a black-topped driveway with a basketball hoop, this home offers a great family space.  The school bus picks up at the bottom of the hill for Cold Springs (or Chief Charlo if you appeal), C.S. Porter for 6th-8th, and Sentinel for High School. 

Animals are welcome with references or upon introduction.

My contact information is: Linlee Nelson at 406-370-1317 or bizwiz64@gmail.com. We live next door, so you have instant access to the landlord, but we’re generally private people and keep to ourselves (unless it involves a barbecue). Due to having kids next door, a background check is required.

Thanks for Looking!
