Step into a comfortable, single‑story mid‑century home on a rare larger lot in Great Falls. This 1960 ranch offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths across 1,313 sq ft, thoughtful period details, and outdoor space that’s hard to find at this price. The retro kitchen is a highlight — a built‑in corner booth creates an instant cozy breakfast nook while the surrounding cabinetry and layout lend themselves to a tasteful update that preserves character. There appears to be original hardwood flooring beneath the carpets; exposing and refinishing these floors is one of the highest-return, least‑invasive improvements you can make here.
Function meets convenience: central air and natural gas heat, city water, public sewer, and fiber‑optic service are all in place. The property sits on an easy 0.35‑acre parcel with a paved drive, attached carport for everyday coverage, and a detached garage/workshop at the back — perfect for DIY projects, storage, or converting into a studio. The yard provides room for gardening, a shed, or a small addition (verify setbacks and permitting with the town).
This house is well suited for a buyer who values single‑level living — from downsizers seeking manageable maintenance to first‑time buyers aiming to add sweat equity. With a prudent refresh to kitchen and baths and a cosmetic reveal of hardwoods, this home will command a higher price point and broader buyer interest. Alternatively, the property presents a solid rental opportunity for those seeking steady cash flow near Lake Wateree and local amenities.

For this home, priced at $175,000 with a large lot and detached workshop, the key to a faster sale or higher net on resale is condition: targeted cosmetic updates and verified mechanical reliability will unlock the most buyer demand.
