Set just east of Missoula in the West Riverside community of Bonner, 960 7th St offers a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully renovated 1920 home in one of the areas most secretly treasured neighborhoods. Near the confluence of the Blackfoot and Clark Fork Rivers, this location delivers the kind of Montana lifestyle many seek but seldom find so close to town. Milltown State Park, the Blackfoot River corridor, and the Kettle House Amphitheater, and Marshall Mountain Park are all moments away, while downtown Missoula remains an easy and convenient drive. This home reflects a level of care and intentional investment that is immediately apparent. Over the past few years, extensive improvements have been completed to strengthen both comfort and systems. Extensive electrical rewiring has just been completed in summer 2025, along with a new upgraded panel and subpanel. A new well pump has been installed, gutters replaced, & the home benefits from a new roof backed by a 50 year warranty. A gas forced air furnace provides efficient heating, and modern conveniences include a newer dishwasher, refrigerator, garbage disposal, and a dedicated plug for an EV charger. The bathroom remodel, completed in spring 2025, stands out as a showcase of craftsmanship. There's an updated custom vanity which features a handmade countertop crafted in butcher block style from a variety of beautiful and rare hardwoods. There's also an accent wall from locally sourced juniper, lending a distinctive Montana character you simply cannot replicate in a big box renovation. Paired with an updated walk-in shower and some updated plumbing, the space blends authenticity with modern function. Inside , the home retains its warmth and historic personality while feeling cohesive and inviting. Wide plank flooring, wood accents, and natural light create an environment that feels grounded and genuine. The kitchen has been previously updated and integrates seamlessly with the home’s character, offering both practicality and charm. Outside, the fenced yard provides privacy and usable outdoor space, complete with a covered back patio ideal for summer evenings. The front yard is heavily lined with mature hedges that provide some excellent seclusion as well as a firepit area that extends your living space outdoors. The detached oversized single car garage is powered and includes a massive permanently installed gun safe that conveys with the property, adding utility and security. With no HOA, ownership here comes with flexibility and independence. West Riverside remains one of Missoula’s hidden gems. Residents enjoy a small town feel with immediate access to fishing, floating, hiking, and concert nights along the river, all while maintaining proximity to the city’s amenities. Informal neighborhood access points to the Blackfoot River further enhance the sense of connection to the outdoors that defines this community. For those seeking a home where meaningful updates have already been completed, craftsmanship is evident, and Montana’s river corridor lifestyle is part of everyday life, 960 7th Street presents a compelling and distinctive opportunity.
