An iconic Boise landmark, The Lion House is one of Harrison Boulevard’s most celebrated residences. Designed in 1911 by renowned architect John E. Tourtellotte, whose work includes the Idaho State Capitol, this extraordinary California Mission-style home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Idaho history. Formerly the Governor’s private residence, the property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Rich quarter-sawn oak floors, exposed beam ceilings, substantial moldings, pocket doors, handcrafted built-ins & distinctive arched millwork showcase remarkable craftsmanship throughout. Gracious living spaces include formal living & dining rooms, sunroom, den & a beautifully remodeled kitchen with high-end appliances. A sweeping staircase leads to four bedrooms, two full baths & a private sitting room. Finished attic provides flexible bonus space for playroom, recreation, fitness or retreat. Lower level features a media room with wet bar, custom wine cellar, office/bonus room, full bath, laundry & storage. Private courtyards create exceptional outdoor living with an outdoor fireplace, built-in grill, lush lawns & mature landscaping. Detached casita offers a private guest suite. Set along iconic Harrison Boulevard, just moments from Hyde Park, Camel’s Back Park, foothill trails, Washington Elementary & North Junior High.
