Property Description

The home offers charm, warmth, and immediate livability, with room to personalize and build equity through thoughtful cosmetic updates over time.

Property also includes two outbuildings, one of which is a spacious shop that may offer future ADU potential. The generous lot size opens the door to urban gardening, raised beds, and even chickens, offering a rare chance to create your own productive backyard space while remaining close to the heart of Boise. With favorable zoning and room to grow, the possibilities here extend well beyond today’s comfort. Expand, enhance, invest, or simply enjoy — opportunities like this on the Boise Bench are increasingly rare.Location, land, utility, and upside — all in one smart Boise opportunity.
