That house is grand, surprised it's below $1m. The kind of house I'd like if I had lots of money. I don't care for their color choices, but those cosmetic things could be taken care of. (I'm wondering why the listing shows a photograph of their throw pillows!? LOL.)

Wow. That is some house. Beautifully restored and decorated. Price has been reduced twice for a total of $50k. Why isn’t it selling?

Feels like something is amiss there. An awful lot of house for the money in Montana. Gorgeous place though. Loved the front door.

[Mik]

Hmm. A quick perusal of Zillow says I might be wrong about that.

A grey victorian behemoth. I really like the rooms and space, very spacious.
They've spent a lot of time and money on it, but I'd have to redecorate.

Very nice Victorian. I like nearly all of their choices.

She needs work, though, and some of that work will mean damaging those nice finishes. Wiring appears to be from the 1930’s and will require update. It was re-piped at some point - probably the 1980’s or so - and that’s good but it doesn’t have A/C. Windows appear to be original and will be expensive to replace. No word on the roof.

The apartment is a great feature! You could live in it while the work was being done then rent it out to cover some of the cost.

If lI was some 30 years younger and had reason to live in Helena I’d certainly consider it.

The location. It's not in the mansion district but in a commercial area near a very busy intersection. If it were just a few blocks SE and on the other side of a major thoroughfare, it would sell for well over a million.

I personally wouldn't change a thing about the decor. I love all the small details and their taste overall.

I do agree with Bernard though about the "colors" or lack thereof. I'm not a fan of gray. But the stencils over it make it work for me.

Nice!

More space than I want to heat and care for in Montana.

I want my mansion on 15 acres and anything not over 5,000 is something I can't imagine not thinking was blissful.

But, if I had to buy a mansion on a street with mansions, I would want to be on the same street.

Road construction can really mess up residential neighborhoods of any size. I've seen it more times than I can count. The government can put a street through your kitchen and there's nothing you can do about it.

This was a large factor in tearing cities apart back in the day (e.g. Detroit) but I've seen it in rural areas too in the last thirty years in places where few would have imagined it, accepting the people planning the development and playing the long game.

This house has many features I like but even if I liked its location, I'd have to win the lottery to buy it.
