Nestled in the heart of Helena, this Dearing Downs colonial is full of charm, character, and thoughtful updates. A long front porch is perfect for rocking chairs, while the amazing covered deck overlooks the fenced backyard. Inside, the warmth and character of this home shine through. The oversized master bedroom offers a true retreat, and the completely remodeled master bath adds a fresh, modern feel. All three bedrooms are upstairs for privacy, and the basement bonus rooms bring a loungey, laid-back vibe—perfect for game nights or movie marathons. Major updates include a new water heater, HVAC, fridge, and dishwasher (2023), refinished hardwood floors, and new LVP in the basement (2024). With a roof replaced seven years ago, big-ticket items are already handled. A perfect blend of classic charm and modern updates—don’t miss it!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
