Rarely does an opportunity arise to buy a home owned by a celebrated interior designer. But 256 Bliss Ln. in Great Falls is one such gem — a modern horse country home designed by HGTV’s Lauren Liess.
Originally built in 1974, it went through extensive renovations in 2021 that Liess spearheaded with CarrMichael Construction. This residence includes four bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths, blending vintage charm with modern amenities. It is nestled on two acres, with each room on the main level framing tranquil pasture views.
The 5,432-square-foot, three-level property is within a stroll to L’Auberge Chez Francois. The home that’s under contract was listed for under $2 million.
The entryway, serving as both foyer and mudroom, transitions to the main living space and outdoor patio.
The living room boasts European wide-plank white oak floors, extending to a dining area with a welcoming fireplace.
Unique Kitchens and Baths designed this chef’s space with basalt countertops and high-end appliances that include a built-in microwave, range, dishwasher, and refrigerator.
The family room offers a relaxing atmosphere with doors that lead to a spacious patio and an outdoor bar connected to a kitchen pass-through window.
This spacious primary suite, with its grid windows, provides a sweeping vista of the pastures, ensuring a breathtaking start to the day.
Soak up the rustic elegance of this wooden-walled bathroom, featuring a freestanding tub.
Other bedrooms fuse contemporary design with vintage touches.
The patio serves as a seamless extension of the kitchen, perfect for dining, or enjoying a drink at the bar.
The property includes a three-stall horse barn complete with electricity, a tack room, storage space, horse fencing, and trailer access.
