2501 W Bannock St

Storybook charm meets an exceptional West End location in this captivating 1930s English Cottage-style home. From the steeply pitched roof and distinctive turreted entry to cedar shake siding and mature landscaping, this is the kind of house that makes you slow down for a second look. Inside, beautiful hardwood floors, abundant windows and a remarkably spacious living room with soaring ceilings create an unexpected sense of volume and drama. The main house offers three bedrooms and two baths, including a main-level bedroom and bath, plus two bedrooms and a bath upstairs. A generous dining room flows to a bright, personality-filled kitchen with extensive cabinetry, vintage built-ins and an irresistible curved breakfast nook wrapped in corner windows. The finished lower level adds flexibility with a second kitchen, bath, living area with electric fireplace and two non-conforming bedrooms. Beyond the attached single-car garage, a separate heated and cooled studio with French doors offers ideal space for an office, gym, art studio or retreat. Outside, enjoy a private, low-maintenance patio with mature trees, covered entertaining space and a dramatic stone fireplace. Just a block from Fairview Park and minutes to Whittier Elementary, Greenbelt access, Whitewater Park, Esther Simplot Park and downtown Boise, the location is as compelling as the home itself.
