1214 Cook Ave
The Tounsley Group Presents:
Listing Price: $369,000
The space. The location. The updates. This one's been taken care of.
Some homes get listed. This one got invested in. At 1214 Cook Ave, you're looking at nearly a decade of intentional upgrades — new roof, new siding (Hardie Board), a primary bathroom addition, a finished basement, French drain, new windows, and an air scrubber on the HVAC that even handles wildfire smoke. The sellers didn't just live here; they built something worth handing off.
The layout works. A ranch-style main level keeps everything easy and accessible, with a light-filled living room anchored by a wood feature wall and a picture window that earns its spot. Downstairs, a second living space gives you the kind of quiet that's hard to find — private, calm, the room you disappear into at the end of the day. Step outside and the backyard does the rest: a large Ash tree throwing shade over the patio, a firepit ready for cooler evenings, and a detached garage that handles the overflow. This is a home that's been cared for, and it shows — all you have to do is move in.
PROPERTY
HIGHLIGHTS
4 Bedrooms
Room to spread out across two levels, with a primary bedroom upstairs and additional space downstairs. Every bedroom has been updated along the way — this isn't original-condition anything
3 Bathrooms
Two fully renovated and one built new. New floors, vanities, & toilets — the kind of bathrooms that don't need to go on your "fix it later" list.
Detached Garage + Shed
A brand new garage (built 2019) plus a new backyard shed (2023) means storage isn't something you're negotiating. Gear, tools, bikes — there's a spot for all of it

The Living Room That Actually
Lives Up to It
A wood feature wall, a big picture window, natural light doing exactly what it should. The upstairs living room at Cook Ave isn't just a selling point, it's the room you'll never want to leave.

The Backyard Perfect for Montana Summers
A large Ash tree, a patio, a firepit, and a French drain that actually solved the drainage — this is the kind of backyard you sit in, not just look at. Summer evenings just got better.
PROPERTY LOCATION
Central Park
Central Park is one of Billings' most used and well-loved green spaces — and from Cook Ave, you're practically neighbors. The park offers open lawn, mature trees, and enough room to actually decompress. Whether it's a morning walk, an afternoon in the grass, or just somewhere to let the dog run, it's the kind of nearby amenity that earns its mention every time.
Exchange City Par 3
If you play golf — or have been meaning to start — Exchange City Par 3 is the kind of course that removes every excuse. A compact, accessible layout minutes from the house, it's easy to squeeze in nine holes after work without turning it into an all-day commitment. Low-pressure, low-cost, and closer than you think.
ZooMontana
ZooMontana isn't your average city zoo — it's a wildlife park focused on native and endangered species, set across 70+ acres of naturalized habitat. A short drive from Cook Ave, it's the kind of place you visit more than once and leave knowing more than when you came in. One of Billings' genuinely underrated assets.
Central location, solid bones, updates where it counts — 1214 Cook Ave is the kind of home that doesn't come available often.

Solid Bones - Endless Possibility
Mellor Subdivision
Mellor Subdivision sits in one of the most central pockets of Billings — the kind of address where everything is genuinely close without feeling like you're on top of it. Streets are established and tree-lined, neighbors tend to stick around, and the lot at Cook Ave adds an extra buffer: a drainage easement along one side gives the property a natural sense of separation you won't find on a standard in-fill lot. It's a well-established area that's held its character — and its value.
Neighborhood Favorites
Marble Table
This highly rated by locals restaurant is a must go in Billings. Everyone is greeted as if they were family as soon as they walk in the door. Enjoy a wide spread menu that will surely satisfy anyone. Get to know the lovely owners who have poured their heart and soul into the food, dessert, and atmosphere.
Scheels
More than a sporting goods store — Scheels is basically a destination. Whether you're gearing up for hunting season, outfitting a bike, or just wandering around the Ferris wheel (yes, there's a Ferris wheel), it's the kind of place locals actually enjoy going. A short drive from Cook Ave and worth every minute.
Albertsons
Groceries handled, quickly. The Albertsons near Cook Ave means you're never more than a few minutes from a full grocery run — and in a neighborhood this central, that kind of everyday convenience adds up fast.

The panoramic view on the map ensures that you're well-connected to the surrounding neighborhoods, amenities, and points of interest.
