Property Description

Rare opportunity, oversized lot on the desirable Boise Bench, off Federal Way, minutes to Boise State and downtown. From this elevated setting above the city, it's approximately a 3-minute drive, 10-minute bike ride, or 30-minute walk to campus — an exceptional combination of convenience and long-term value. The home offers charm, warmth, and immediate livability, with room to personalize and build equity through thoughtful cosmetic updates over time. Whether you're a smart investor seeking upside or homeowner looking to create value in a prime location, this property presents a compelling opportunity. A true standout feature is the oversized pull-through garage, rarely found in homes of this era and neighborhood — offering incredible flexibility for storage, hobbies, projects, or recreational gear. 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.
