Property Description
Suspended among the mature canopy of Boise's coveted Highlands neighborhood, this remarkable residence evokes the quiet elegance of a modern tree-house where architecture and landscape exist in seamless harmony. Originally built in 1977 and masterfully transformed by its owner, an accomplished custom homebuilder, the home is a refined expression of mid-century modern design, balancing warmth, light and exceptional craftsmanship. Set on one-third of an acre within the acclaimed Boise School District, the property is enveloped by curated landscaping, sculptured boulder terraces and meandering pathways that invite exploration. Bamboo floors, polished concrete, and two stone-clad, wood burning fireplaces create rich textural contrast throughout. The lower level, with its private garage entry, offers a welcoming family room, office area, bedroom and full bath with steam shower—perfectly suited for guests, multigenerational living or an inspired work-from-home retreat. The secluded rear garden features a private hot tub beneath the trees, while the garage is thoughtfully appointed with custom cabinetry, two 8-foot doors, gas heater rough-in, TV and tankless water heater. A new asphalt driveway, new roof, extensive appliance package, including three refrigerators, washer and dryer, all complete this extraordinary offering where inspired design meets an unparalleled natural setting.
