A rare opportunity in Boise’s foothills—this distinctive mid-century property is both a home and a story. History lingers & character shines, reflecting the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright’s innovative designs. Commissioned and built in 1954, the residence bears the hallmarks of MCM architecture: flat rooflines, stone fireplaces, log-beamed ceilings, expansive windows, and handcrafted cabinetry. Originally a single-family home and later expanded into a duplex, it has since evolved into four unique units: a warm 2-bedroom main house with a stacked-stone hearth, a charming studio, and a versatile 2-bedroom, 2-bath suite with balcony views and a fireside living room—rented as one or divided into two with hotel-style lock-off doors. Each unit exudes character, with abundant light and cozy interiors tucked into the hillside. Renovated in 2011 with updates to the roof, windows, plumbing, electrical, radiant floors, and kitchen, the home offers a strong foundation for its next chapter. Live in one unit and rent the others, restore it to a single residence, or continue its legacy as a darling inn or Airbnb. Privacy, artistry, and history converge in this one-of-a-kind property, minutes from downtown Boise, Hyde Park, and the North End—an extraordinary chance to revive an heirloom home of architectural significance.
