Top-Floor 3BR/2BA Condo with Two Balconies Near UM
What stands out first at 225 Eddy Avenue is the sense of space—this top-floor condominium delivers an uncommon 1,700 square feet with no overhead neighbors and two private balconies accessible from the bedrooms. The layout reads like a comfortable urban retreat: a large living area updated with new windows (installed in the living room and master bedroom) that improve efficiency and temper Missoula’s seasonal temperatures. Sliding-glass access from sleeping areas expands living time outdoors without stepping off the top floor.
The primary suite is effectively a private wing, complete with a walk-in closet and its own bath; two additional bedrooms share thoughtful separation for guests, work-from-home needs, or student households. Mechanical comforts include central air and forced-air heating. Practical benefits extend to two assigned tuck-under parking spaces and a dedicated storage room on the covered parking level—rare conveniences in this part of the University District.
HOA stewardship is a key asset here: the monthly fee covers exterior upkeep, landscaping, snow removal, garbage, recycling, compost, water, sewer, internet and clubhouse access. Those services make condo living feel more like living in a low-maintenance single-family setting while keeping you steps from campus and downtown life. Recent pricing activity (reduced to $579,000) aligns with comparable valuations for this neighborhood, positioning the unit competitively for owner-occupants and downsizers who want walkable access to university amenities.
Location is central to the appeal. The University of Montana sits a block away, the Clark Fork River and its trails are within minutes, and downtown restaurants and galleries are an easy walk or short bike ride. Three bus stops within a few blocks provide transit options year-round. Whether you’re an academic, a professional seeking urban convenience, or an investor drawn to strong rental demand in the University District, this condo blends practical systems, generous square footage, and location advantages into a rare offering in Missoula's market. Buyers are encouraged to review HOA documents and schedule a professional inspection to confirm all details.
