Tucked away in a quiet pocket of SE Boise, this storybook 1950s cottage blends timeless charm with thoughtful care—just blocks from the Greenbelt, BSU, and downtown. Set on ¼ acre, the property features a seasonal creek with a quaint footbridge, mature trees, and two sheds for added storage. A cheerful front door welcomes you into a warm, inviting space filled with natural light. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and large updated windows with classic plantation shutters. The kitchen stays true to its vintage roots, offering nostalgic character. Two spacious bedrooms and a flexible bonus room provide options for guests, hobbies, or working from home. The backyard includes an extended patio, raised garden beds, a dog run, and a level lawn, offering room to relax or possibly add an ADU or expand the home with city approval. With a newer roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a location that offers both peace and convenience, this home is a rare find.
