2012 Main Street, Fort Benton, MT 59442

Step into more than a century of Fort Benton history with this remarkable 1916 Colonial Revival home, built by David G. Brown-a prominent local freighter, merchant, cattleman, and founder of Stockman's National Bank. Situated on four city lots directly across from the park and restored Old Fort, this stately residence offers an extraordinary combination of history, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. Inside, rich hardwoods, an impressive oak staircase, original pocket doors, period fireplaces, and beautiful architectural details speak to the craftsmanship of another era. The elegant formal dining room is a showpiece, featuring a built-in walnut china cabinet, Craftsman-style plate rails, a bay window, and an ornate antique chandelier. Sunrooms on both the first and second floors invite natural light, while the updated kitchen incorporates marble countertops and a substantial marble backsplash. The home offers three levels of living space. Six rooms on the second floor provide abundant flexibility for bedrooms, guest accommodations, offices, or additional living areas, while the remodeled third floor-once used as a ballroom-now serves as a spacious entertainment area complete with a kitchenette and half bath. A remodeled main-level bath includes a walk-in shower and dry sauna. Outside, mature trees frame expansive front and back lawns with underground sprinklers, complemented by a brick patio, vinyl deck and fencing. Two detached garages provide four total garage stalls, while the generous four-lot setting offers space rarely found in the heart of town. The seller's marketing survey also notes a newer roof, city water and sewer, natural-gas heat, and several included appliances. Rich in history and architectural character, this is an exceptional opportunity to become the next steward of one of Fort Benton's distinctive early-20th-century homes.
