Scott and Kristi Jackson Residence
217 Lindley Place, Bozeman, MT
This project at 217 Lindley Place is primarily an interior remodel, with the addition of a
2-car detached garage. The garage access will be from the back alley.
The home is a craftsman bungalow design featuring a prominent front porch that covers
the entryway. The historical inventory states “the historic integrity of this property has
been retained due to the survival of original design and materials and continuity of use,
setting and location.” Close inspection shows the exterior elements of the home
(windows, siding, and the front porch) are in very poor shape due to lack of
maintenance and foundation settling.
The property zoning is R2. The existing home is two bedrooms and one bath on the first
floor, and two bedrooms and a bathroom in the basement. This basement has a small
kitchen and is currently a separate rental unit. The use as a 2-unit rental has contributed
to this home’s deterioration.
The remodeling project will return the building to a three bedroom, two bath single
family residence. The exterior work will retain the current craftsman architectural
character of the home, but with a change in color palette, siding, and windows. The
proposed detached 832 square foot 2-car garage will reflect this same craftsman style
and color theme. The current clapboard wood siding is a poor patchwork and will be
replaced with Hardie plank horizontal of close to the same profile / exposure dimension,
within 1”. The current shingles on the gable ends will be duplicated in size and layout.
Most of the remodel occurs within the existing footprint. We are enclosing the existing
basement exterior stairwell access. This adds 117 sf to the existing footprint. We are
adding a covered rear entry porch and deck on the southwest corner of the home. The
interior remodeling on both floors will entail moving walls and reconfiguring or
replacing windows with a style that performs to modern energy efficiency standards
while closely replicating the existing style.
The streetscape study for this project verifies that the design elements characterizing
our project are consistent in scale and style with the residential architecture found in
the existing, new, and recently remodeled homes within this historic southside
neighborhood.
