The story
New builds charge extra for exposed beams and a stacked stone fireplace wall. This full brick Hillcrest ranch has had both since 1960. The beams run the length of the living room ceiling, and built-in shelves line both sides of the stone. The wood-burning insert works, too. Hardwood floors run through the bedrooms, along with wall-to-wall built-in wardrobes, drawers, and a built-in desk. The kitchen is long, with mid-century wood cabinetry and a big window facing the backyard. It opens to a paneled den with a slider to the covered patio. The backyard is deep, with mature trees, outdoor storage, and plenty of room to garden or spread out. The garage includes a workbench area and several walk-in storage rooms. The roof, furnace, A/C, and water heater were all replaced within the last three years. Hillcrest Country Club is a few blocks away, Phillippi Park is about half a mile west, and the Boise Airport is a short drive. Full brick, real wood, and real stone in one of Boise’s established neighborhoods. Bring your ideas and come take a look.
