Description
Designed by Tourtellotte and Hummel for the George Vaughan family in 1898! From proud roots in the Queen Anne tradition, a new addition has been seemlessly integrated with the the original home. Lovingly preserved are antique oaks, leaded glass windows, moldings and all the trimmings of a bygone era.
The modern kitchen pampers the resident cook with heated tile flooring, slab granite surfaces, a six burner gas cooktop, double ovens, a salad prep sink, and oversized side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator. An adjacent eating area overlooks grassy expanses and is oversized for large gatherings. A window seat is comfortably cushioned for casual reading, and provides additional under-the-seat storage.
The main level master suite is a place of comfort and repose, with buit-ins for storage, and the original (and restored) clawfoot tub in the master bath.
In addition to the master bath are a full bath upstairs (complete with slab granite counters and heated tile flooring), a full bath in the new basement (with heated tile flooring and silestone counters), and a half bath adjacent to the kitchen, stylishly renovated with octagonal tile flooring, an oversized pedestal sink and a custom leaded glass window.
Two family rooms, a formal dining room and a parlor (or music conservatory) also serve the residence as well as three large bedrooms, complete with built-ins, leaded glass windows, sitting alcoves and dormers. One bedroom even has a secret door leading to a hide-away!
The utility room is light filled, and the original kitchen cabinets complete with leaded glass doors now serve for additional storage. The utility room has granite counters and heated tile floors.
On three city lots the grounds are sheltered by towering trees and are lushly planted and lovingly maintained. A flagstone patio under a bower of trees is perfect for quiet contemplation or a summer bar-b-que.
The detached artist's studio is heated and cooled and is versatile for many uses. A two car garage is also detached from the main home.
Located just one street from Historic Harrison Boulevard in Boise (in the heart Boise's North End) and is just a few blocks from Elm Grove Park, Hyde Park, and Camel's Back Park. Avid hikers and bikers find quick access to foothills paths and trails, and Downtown Boise shopping and dining is but a few minutes away. For those attuned to the beauty of historic homes, this home will not disappoint! Real estate sales in Boise's North End remain brisk, as buyers continue to be attracted to the charm of a by-gone era, as well as the proximity to the best of Boise.
The entire home down to the plumbing and electrical systems have been updated or restored.
