BOISE, IDAHO

WHAT: A three-bedroom two-bath midcentury modern house

HOW MUCH: $350,000

SIZE: 2,076 square feet

PER SQUARE FOOT: $168.59

SETTING: This house is on Warm Springs Avenue, a road that runs from downtown Boise to the Boise National Forest, at the city’s eastern end. (According to Boise’s Web site, the road was named for the nearby Kelly Hot Springs.)

The house is in a historic district about a mile east of downtown Boise, and a short walk from both the city’s geothermally heated pool (the Natatorium) and its botanic gardens, which also hosts concerts. Farther north and east are trails for hiking and biking, mostly in the surrounding national forests.

INSIDE: The house was constructed in 1959 by Art Troutner, an architect responsible for several modern homes in the Boise area. Most of the interior is untreated masonry and wood, with flagstone floors throughout. Several of the walls are movable or collapsible to allow some degree of customization to the floor plan. The living room has a four-sided fireplace. Between the dining and living rooms is a geothermally heated indoor pool. A skylight runs the length of the house. Each of the three bedrooms has built-in storage, and the living room has built-in shelving for books and entertainment systems.
