The story

Exceptional development opportunity in this Mixed Use zoning district. The value is in the opportunity with the land, not the little cottage although it is lovely! PLEASE DRIVE BY ONLY, DO NOT BOTHER TENANT OR GO ON THE PROPERTY, THANK YOU!. Alley access for drive-by around back. Two original lots, only need new legals to separate them. Lots of opportunities in Mixed Use: zoning allows for an ADU; you can remove the cottage and build on both lots, or keep the lots together and build an apartment. Boise City Planning & Zoning staff are extremely knowledgeable about this parcel and can be very helpful, I'm happy to provide a great contact there. Tenant would likely be happy to stay while you figure out what you want to do or if you just wish to hold it for investment. The location is perfect for an AirBNB complex! Just down the hill to BSU and half way between the airport and downtown. The Bench is targeted for higher density, walkable, mixed use, making this a strategic investment with a strong upside for an investor. Ideal for builders or investors looking to capitalize on strong demand and central location. NO SIGN ON PROPERTY. Owner/Agent.
