Just steps from Bigfork’s famous single-lane bridge, 396 Bridge Street has held its place in the heart of historic downtown Bigfork since 1933. Extensively updated in 2005, the property also welcomed the addition of the Carriage House, providing additional living space and exceptional opportunities for outdoor living and entertaining. A spectacular three-season room, anchored by an enormous stone fireplace, overlooks the waterfront, where massive stone slab steps lead down to the private dock. Inside the historic residence, the character and charm of the original home have been carefully preserved, while the home's systems and utilities have been thoroughly modernized. A fully updated mechanical room discreetly conceals a hidden wine cellar. The main level of the Carriage House embraces the natural stone and waterfront setting, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living spaces. Upstairs, the bedrooms and bathrooms carry forward the architectural character of the original residence, with craftsmanship and attention to detail so consistent that the transition between historic home and newer construction is virtually indistinguishable. The desirability of this location is difficult to overstate. Commercial Village Resort (CVR) zoning offers flexibility for a variety of potential uses, while the heart of downtown Bigfork places shopping, dining, galleries, and entertainment just steps from your door. Enjoy the energy and convenience of village living, or retreat to the tranquility, character, and history of this truly irreplaceable waterfront property.
