2811 West Hill Road

The space:

A large private porch opens to an organic garden on a park-like half acre in the north end. The kitchen is equipped with all new stainless steel appliances. The bathroom is updated in modern tile and includes a heated mirror and double shower head. Brand new plank flooring is installed throughout the unit. East facing windows fill the space with morning light. Though only 500 square feet, the efficient lay-out offers significant storage: a large built-in wardrobe and desk, versatile walk-in storage, deep kitchen cabinetry and locking outdoor storage. Complimentary garden space is available if desired in raised beds plumbed with drip irrigation and filled with rich, organically tended soil. A coin-op laundry facility is on-site.

The area:

Just cross the street to wander foothills trails. Wide bike lanes lead directly to Hyde Park, Downtown, the green belt and the 36th Garden Center. Great location for quick access to Bogus and the Payette rivers, and only minutes to the Whitewater park.

The community:

This is a rare opportunity to join a friendly north end community. The apartment is on the ground level of a large ranch-style home split into three private residences. The expansive backyard is shared space--all the perks, none of the maintenance responsibility. The space is tended with permaculture values- fruit trees, berries, and perennial edibles are interspersed with water wise pollinator attractors. A fire pit with comfy modern seating is a community amenity. The property backs up to the Boise City Canal. Friendly chickens often roam the yard. Respectful and responsive owners occupy one of the spaces.
