3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 1,792 SqFt. ⋅ 0.14 Acres ⋅ 99001745 MLS

Some homes are made for sitting still but this WWII-era bungalow is built for getting up and getting out the door. Tucked in Boise's iconic North End, this 3-bed, 2-bath bungalow puts you minutes from everything that makes this city an outdoor lover's dream. Lace up and head north to Camel's Back Park and the Hulls Gulch trailhead, where the Ridge to Rivers system unrolls miles of hiking and mountain biking right at your doorstep. Point yourself south instead, and you're a short pedal down to the Boise River Greenbelt — 25 miles of paved path connecting you to riverside parks, the whitewater park, and a float down the river on a hot summer afternoon. Bike to Hyde Park for coffee, walk to work downtown, or just enjoy a neighborhood built for life outside. Come home to a bungalow that keeps pace with it all. Fresh exterior paint and updated egress windows bring easy peace of mind, original wood floors carry the character of a home built to last, and the updated kitchen is ready for post-adventure meals without losing an ounce of its vintage soul. Three bedrooms and two full baths give everyone room to land — gear, bikes, and boots included. This is North End living at its most active: tree-lined streets, a tight-knit community, and trails, river, and downtown all within reach. Trade the commute for a trailhead and see what living here really feels like.
