A true original in one of Boise’s most beloved neighborhoods, this 1980 model home sits along side perhaps the loveliest of Lakewood’s famous ponds. The architecture still shines: an open, easy-flowing floor plan, walls of windows, and a striking two-story brick fireplace that anchors the great room — classic era-defining design done right. A second fireplace with insert and a built-in bar warm the family room, ideal for entertaining. Solidly built and well cared for, this home has seen only modest updates in 46 years — great bones, honest character, and plenty of room for a buyer to make it their own. An enclosed atrium and covered patio extend the living space outdoors, and the north-facing backyard, ringed in mature, shade trees, feels like a private retreat. The yard is fully fenced (not perimeter-style) for pets and play, and the garage includes a bonus shop area with workbench for hobbies and projects. Backing to some of Lakewood’s best open green spaces, you’ll share the view with resident ducks, geese, and frogs. Walking paths wind along the neighborhood’s ponds and waterways to schools and playing fields, with an easy walk or bike to the Boise Greenbelt. Mature landscaping and friendly neighbors make Lakewood one of Boise’s most desirable addresses.
