Nestled between the rugged snow capped Absaroka and Crazy mountain ranges and flanked by the Yellowstone River sits Livingston, Montana. A town of roughly 7,000 people with a disproportionate number of artists and writers, Livingston has the feel of the Old West. With Yellowstone National Park only an hour away, Livingston is a perfect basecamp for your southwest Montana vacation.

The Magpie was recently purchased by fly fishing enthusiasts from Nashville, Tennessee. The home was originally built in 1905 by railroad workers who used Livingston as a stepping stone to funnel visitors into Yellowstone National Park. The house has since been remodeled in 2014 and tastefully redecorated and refurnished in early 2020.

There are two bedrooms, one with a queen and the other with two twins as well as one full bathroom both upstairs and in the basement for a total of four bedrooms and 6 beds. There are no bedrooms on the main level making the house a perfect fit for two separate families, groups, or energy levels. The beds are outfitted with new Puffy mattresses and comfortable bedding. There are closets and dressers in each bedroom so guests can unpack suitcases and really get settled in.

There are two spacious living areas both with big screen TV's. The main floor living room shares an open space with the elegant dining room table and kitchen. The dining room table is large and can seat up to 8 guests. The coffee bar has a large one basin kitchen sink and counter space with a small window looking into the dining room. The kitchen is fully stocked with all plates, glassware, cooking utensils and appliances. Please note the cutlery is located in the drawer of the island butcher block.

There is a full powder bathroom off the kitchen leading to the landing to downstairs, the garage, or the back lawn and patio. Downstairs hosts a queen bedroom, double twin bedroom, laundry room the third full bathroom as well as a second living area.

The lawn is well kept and the stone patio is a refreshing place to have coffee, eat meals, play games, or relax in the privacy of the large fenced yard.
