386 1st Avenue, Kalispell

A timeless Craftsman with a story worth continuing. Built in 1936, this thoughtfully cared-for residence blends enduring architectural character with subtle modern enhancements, creating a home that feels both inviting and effortlessly distinctive. Considered improvements include an Aquasana whole-house water filtration system, an updated basement offering additional flexibility, and an insulated garage (2021). Outdoors, the thoughtfully designed grounds offer something truly special: an established collection of cherry, apple, and plum trees, complemented by lilac, strawberry, red currant, and raspberry plantings. A greenhouse creates the opportunity to extend the growing season and enjoy year-round gardening, while the backyard invites a more intentional connection to the outdoors and the simple pleasure of growing your own food. Ideally situated in a central location, this property brings together convenience, character, and a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find. Whether envisioned as a place to put down roots, a creative home base, or a thoughtful investment, this distinctive Craftsman offers timeless appeal, meaningful updates, and plenty of room for its next chapter. The sellers are offering **$15,000 in seller concessions** as an added consideration for prospective buyers. These funds may be applied toward eligible buyer closing costs, an interest rate buy-down, or other allowable expenses at closing, subject to lender approval, applicable loan program guidelines, and mutually agreed transaction terms. The sellers anticipate remaining in the home through **January 15, 2027**. Should a sale occur prior to that date, alternative possession arrangements may be considered and would be subject to mutual negotiation and written agreement between the parties. This offering provides an opportunity for buyers to explore additional flexibility in structuring their purchase while allowing the sellers to accommodate their anticipated transition.
