Welcome to Hillside Hearth a beautiful home built into the hillside.

The home is ideally located between Downtown Whitefish and Whitefish Mountain Resort, with close proximity to Ironhorse Golf Club. Explore this home and all the amenities it has to offer. 

As you walk into the home, you are greeted with a split-level entrance with stairs leading to the main or lower levels. First, we'll head up to the main level, where there is a living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The open-concept floor plans make this place inviting and relaxing. The living room's focal point is the floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace surrounded by a cozy sofa to enjoy family time together. Next to the living room is a little reading nook with a chair and lamp. From there, you can access a patio where you can grill outside and enjoy your morning coffee. Back inside, you have the dining room with seating for four people and bar top seating for two people. Head into the kitchen, boasting updated appliances and spacious counters to prepare your meals. Off the kitchen is a shared full bathroom with dual vanities and a standing shower. The bedroom features a queen-size bed, a closet, and endless comfort. 

Next, we'll head upstairs where there are two more bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms. Both bedrooms feature queen-size beds with direct access to the patio. This space is unique in the fact that it is located on the hillside on the upper level of the home. It features lounging chairs and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. One en suite bathroom has a standing shower while the other offers a shower/tub combination. Lastly, we'll head down to the lower level laundry room and garage access.
