Property Description
For the mid-century lover who wants character, warmth and everyday function, 1817 Palouse is a rare Bench find tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac street. Original hardwoods, a functional wood fireplace, charming built-ins and authentic 1950s details give the home its soul, while thoughtful updates make it easy to enjoy now. The 3 bed, 2 bath single-level layout includes an updated primary bath, new interior paint and honeycomb blinds in 2025, updated plumbing, new dishwasher, and kitchen faucet in 2025, tile flooring in the kitchen/baths, dining carpet, plus 2009 furnace, 2020 AC and 2016 50-gal water heater. Outside, the lifestyle shines: a gracious front lawn beneath mature shade trees tucked against the quiet cul-de-sac, a peaceful sprawling backyard patio for slow Idaho sunsets, RV/trailer parking, storage shed with additional awning, and an oversized 1-car garage with built-in cabinets—rare utility and charm hard to find at this price point. Weekends are easy with nearby parks, iconic Greenbelt adventures, coffee, dinner, BSU, Downtown, the airport and I-84 all within quick reach. Set near the Vista/Overland corridor, this home offers the best of the Bench lifestyle: rooted, connected, quietly charming and close to the heart of Boise without losing its sense of calm. An era-purist’s delight, ready to be preserved, polished and loved into its next chapter.
