Phenomenal 1920's style home in Hyde Park! Relive the 20's in style with your private speakeasy, vintage decor and modern amenities. While the kids nap on the top floor, enjoy spinning a record while you lounge in the speakeasy, stretch out on the yoga mats or take up a game of pool in the billiards room. Then head right around the corner to enjoy Boise's best block with North End Pizza, The Hyde House and Goodys Ice Cream Parlor. The absolute best place to experience Boise's North End in style!

You'll know you are in the right place when you see the vintage owl over the classic rounded front door, giving this home the neighborhood nickname of "owl house". When you enter through the front door, you'll be immediately embraced by the warmth and charm of the 1931 classic home. The wide open formal living room has a large screen TV, awesome functional fire place and internet router providing high speed wifi for the whole home. The dining room features a glass dining room table that seats 6 and is brightly illuminated by the four vintage windows and one of a kind antique light fixture. Through the dining room door is a kitchen seating area and the Butler's kitchen with granite counter tops and newer appliances. Fully equipped with a coffee maker, built in microwave, four burner gas stove top & oven, French door style fridge with freezer drawer on bottom, double sink with garbage disposal and stainless steel dishwasher. In the drawers and pantry you will find dishes, cutlery, pots and pans, blender, toaster, cooking knives and utensils, a small selection of spices and cleaning supplies. We've tried to think of everything you might need for making great meals during your stay, all you have to bring are the ingredients :)

Down the hall is the bathroom with a shower, bathtub and double sink. The Master bedroom has a king size bed and two closets. Upstairs is the second bathroom which has a shower and single sink, second bedroom with a king size bed and the third bedroom with two twin beds. There is a nice selection of board games, books and toys to occupy the littles - nothing better than new toys to play with!

In the basement, there is a large laundry room with full size washer and dryer, laundry detergent, iron and full size ironing board. The first room you come into is the yoga/meditation space with a day bed (bedding is provided making it one additional bed). The next room is the murphy bedroom with a large full size murphy bed that easily folds down from the wall. In this room, you will notice a curious little rounded door. Turn on the light switch and inside is a hidden speak easy! Super fun to lounge in and listen to the provided records while you sip a delightful Brandy Alexander cocktail :)

If you go through a door 1/2 way between the main floor and basement you will find yourself in the carport with the two car garage door to your left. You can use the keypad to open the garage door and watch the big game on the flat screen LED TV while shooting a game of pool. Meanwhile the extra fridge holds all the snacks and drinks for the crowd. The garage is truly a favorite place in the summer time to open the big door and really relax and enjoy the company of friends and family.

The large backyard features a fire pit and lots of space for the kids to run and play in. There is a gate in the backyard so you can bring a car into the carport or off the street, also plenty of street parking available on this corner lot.

Besides an amazing house, this home base is absolutely the best positioned home to explore the greatest neighborhood in Boise. This home backs up to the famous North End Neighborhood business district - Hyde Park. Positioned at the top of Hyde Park right around the corner of the street you will find truly wonderful, idyllic local businesses like The Hyde House, North End Pizza, Goody's Ice Cream Parlor, Hyde Perk and Java. Wonderful little shops to explore include Joy Ride Cycles, G. Willikers Toy Shop and the Dunia Marketplace.

About 3 blocks away is one of the best parks in all of Boise - Camel's Back Park. With a huge hillside shaped like the hump of a camel leading to countless miles of mountain bike and hiking trails, this park features two playgrounds, an outdoor gym, tennis courts and large mature trees providing tons of shade for the play structures and picnic tables.

Cruiser bicycles are available for rent and widely considered the best way to explore the many tree lined streets overflowing with vintage homes from the 20's and 30's.
