It's not often that the house you've always had a "sidewalk crush" on actually comes onto the market, so when it does, walk (don't run) to see it first. The home's coveted location in Bozeman's Cooper Park District makes it a special offering, but the remarkable breadth of upgrades and updates that the owners have made over the past few years truly set this home apart from any other downtown home on the market today. Indeed, no expense was spared, no shortcuts were taken and no historical detail was overlooked in the full gut remodel of this downtown darling. The original home likely came from a Sears Kit, but the unique gable design and distinctive Folk Victorian details suggest that it was also customized. Between preserving the original birch floors, cut-glass windows, doors and staircases and sourcing replicas of the Victorian-era doorknobs and walnut fireplace surrounds from craftsmen in Alabama, the owners took great care to celebrate and enhance the unique historical attributes of the home at every stage of the remodel. However, they also made significant practical improvements to suit their modern needs. by installing all new windows, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems and also adding a sunroom, powder bath, mudroom, 2-car garage, bonus room and an exterior entry to the basement. And boy did they make it beautiful! With Carrara marble countertops throughout, Tadelakt showers, California Faucets plumbing fixtures, custom cabinets by Quest, solar panels, skylights, designer lighting and window treatments, the well-decorated home feels utterly ethereal. The remodeling effort extends to the exterior, where the grounds were re-landscaped, patio areas were added, a bocce ball court was installed and a swim spa was set into the deck. When the list of a home's features and desirable characteristics threatens to exceed the character limit, there is only one question to ask: how quickly can you get to 407 West Koch?
