Property Description

Timeless craftsmanship and architectural presence define this remarkable 1900-built stone residence, once owned by a former Lt. Governor. Prominently positioned on the corner of S. Pacific and E. Dillon Streets near the University of Montana Western, this stately home sits on 5 city lots and offers more than 4,000 sqft filled with historic character, curated detail and thoughtful updates. A separate 2 bed, 2 bath guest cabin rental provides an opportunity for supplemental income. The exterior makes a lasting impression with stone masonry, classic columns, ornate details and curved front windows with stained glass accents, framed by an expansive wraparound front porch. A stamped concrete walkway leads to the front door where beautiful woodwork, hardwood floors and original light fixtures reflect the quality and craftsmanship of the early 1900s. The grand staircase serves as a standout focal point with detailed woodwork and vintage lighting. The main level features a large living room, sitting room with a wood stove, library area and formal dining room. The updated kitchen includes quality cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, eat-in island and bar sink. All 5 bedrooms are located on the upper level, one of which features an iconic widow's walk style upper-level balcony. The primary suite offers a remodeled bathroom with a tiled shower, dual sinks and marbled tile heated floors. The guest bathroom has also been updated with tile flooring, a subway tiled shower and bead-board wall treatment. The upstairs just received new carpet in April 2026. Further significant improvements to maintain the home include foundation reinforcement, exterior stone restoration work, roof and gutter replacements in 2020 and electrical and plumbing upgrades. The backyard includes a large concrete patio with hardwired string lighting for grilling and entertaining, vinyl fencing and a storage shed. With approximately 0.33 acres, there is room to explore adding a garage or additional structure with city approval. Drip lines have been thoughtfully added in the flower beds and along the porch to enhance the curb appeal. The 640 sqft guest house has provided steady rental income over the last several years. With its rich history, architectural detail and extensive updates, this is a rare opportunity to carry on the legacy of one of Dillon's most iconic homes!
