Full of character and packed with potential, this 1930 Missoula classic offers a rare combination: a charming single-family home with the built-in flexibility of a duplex. Whether you're dreaming of a full remodel to restore its vintage bones or looking for a smart income-producing property, this one delivers options in one of Missoula's most connected locations. This home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across a main level and an upper level, with original wood cabinetry, vintage tilework, and archways that speak to its 1930s roots throughout. As currently configured, the property functions as a duplex, with a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath main-floor unit and a 1-bedroom, 1-bath upper unit-a compelling option for continuing as an income property, house-hacking, or multigenerational living. Outside, you'll find a fenced, level lot with fenced back and front yards, a covered patio for outdoor living, and a detached oversized single garage accessed off the alley. A partial, unfinished crawl space basement offers additional storage and easy access to utilities. Location is where this property really shines. You're just minutes from Downtown Missoula, with the Kim Williams Trail system practically out your back door for daily runs, walks, or bike commutes along the river. Catch a baseball game at Ogren Field, grab dinner or shop the Old Sawmill District, or head to the University of Montana, all just a short trip away. Whether your vision is a lovingly restored single-family showplace or a turnkey investment with two income streams, 628 S 1st Street W is a rare find in a location that can't be beat.
