The story
A rare opportunity in Boise’s foothills—this distinctive mid-century property is both a home & a story. History lingers & character shines, reflecting the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright's innovative designs. Commissioned & built in 1954, the residence bears the hallmarks of MCM architecture: flat rooflines, central fireplaces, log-beamed ceilings & handcrafted cabinetry. Originally built as a single-family home, then expanded into a duplex & ultimately run as an Inn with 4-units. The main house has a full kitchen & the duplex side features a kitchenette. For those looking for creative living spaces, the property can be converted back to a single family & duplex, or there is an opportunity to Airbnb a total of four spaces. Each space exudes character with 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. 2026 updates include: Idaho Power upgrade to underground power lines & new city water service. Privacy, artistry & history converge in this one-of-a-kind property, minutes from downtown Boise, Hyde Park & the North End—an exciting opportunity to acquire an heirloom home of architectural significance. Live in one unit and rent the others, restore it to a single residence, or continue its legacy as an Inn with a modern day Airbnb.
