Summary:
Charming Craftsman Near Hyde Park & Downtown
The Space:
The Harrison House — A Historic Boise Craftsman Full of Character and Charm
Some homes have a story to tell, and the Harrison House is one of them. Built in 1923 by the son of Irish immigrants, this meticulously decorated Boise craftsman is a love letter to a bygone era — bright, characterful, and brimming with personality at every turn. Hardwood floors, antique décor, and cheerful blue and yellow accents give the home a warmth that's impossible to manufacture, while three bedrooms and a full bathroom all on the main floor make it as practical as it is charming.
Curl up together on the sofa by the gas fireplace on a cool evening, challenge each other to board games in the sunny sunroom, or let the little ones settle in for a movie night with the TV and DVD player. When the outdoors calls, step into the enchanting enclosed backyard — a whimsical retreat featuring a vine-covered pergola and an ornate river-rock patio that feels like something out of a storybook. Serve lemonade or fresh mojitos under the porch umbrella, or fire up the grill for a perfect alfresco barbecue with the people you love most. Whether you're planning a wine-tasting weekend with close friends or a family adventure into the great Idaho outdoors, the Harrison House is ready to be the backdrop for memories that last.

Historic Streets, Endless Adventures
The Harrison House sits proudly on tree-lined Harrison Boulevard in Boise's beloved historic North End — a street so significant it earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places. Just two miles from downtown Boise and only blocks from Camel's Back Park and the eclectic shops and cafes of Hyde Park, the location is as enviable as the home itself.
Spend a morning rallying on the Camel's Back tennis courts, then rent stand-up paddleboards from Idaho River Sports for an afternoon exploring Quinn's Pond two miles away. Pedal along the scenic Boise River Greenbelt, wander through the Idaho Botanical Garden, or float the river at Barber Park for a quintessential Boise summer afternoon. Families with little ones will love a visit to Zoo Boise to meet the tigers, and when winter rolls in, Bogus Basin is less than 16 miles away — perfect for a white Christmas or a New Year's celebration on the slopes.
