As a former appraiser and a present day Realtor, we have read so many descriptions of homes. Then we go to see them when we read million dollar view in Boise, Idaho, and you wonder, could it be?
This Jayo Construction home is built on the edge of the rim overlooking Ann Morrison Park in downtown Boise and beyond to the city lights and skyline. This view is an understatement of a million dollar view in Boise, Idaho.
The home is on three levels with an elevator to make it easy for any member of the family or guest to get around. There are four bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms. It has almost 6,650 square feet of living space.
It even has a four-car garage, actually two two-car garages, each with a separate entry into the house.
When you hear "no shortcuts" and "quality", they were writing about this house. There was a great deal of thought put into this home. All of the windows at the back of the house and decking take advantage of the breathtaking views and the infinity edge poo - yes, I said it, a pool! In addition to that, it also has a built-in hot tub, as well.
Parts of the interior harken back to the years when everyone looked forward to seeing the next creation by the Evans Brothers. Now, that interior detail of ceilings and wood paneled walls belong to the craftsman that work with Jayo Construction.
This view of the kitchen from the informal dining area shows how open the kitchen is to entertaining in the informal dining room and the family room beyond it. The continuity of the tiled floors makes this one large room.
The wood-wrapped windows and doors give access to the great out of doors, the beautiful park below and the city skyline in the distance.
Notice the double island design of the kitchen, one with a breakfast bar so the guests can engage in conversation as you work in your kitchen.
There are spice racks that pull out on either side of the expanded cooktop.
Here's another view of the kitchen with the center island for food preparation with the second sink. You can see the massive Viking stove with an eight-burner gas cooktop, center griddle and the double-ovens below.
There is a pot filler faucet on the back wall above the cooktop and a Thermador side-by-side refrigerator with wood panel doors to match the cabinetry.
The granite countertops are incredible in this kitchen. There are two dishwashers and plenty of storage.
There's even a built-in wine cooler.
As you leave the informal dining room and kitchen, you walk through the family room and into a long bath that opens to the pool. It is set up exceptionally well in that there are lockers that allow people to store their clothes and towels, and then a floor-to-ceiling shower so when finished in the pool or spa you can come in to shower off. There is a long sink set up with two sets of faucets to make it easy to clean up to come inside for a meal. A private commode closetis available, as well.
When you come through the front doors, you can immediately see the intricate woodworking in the doors and wood paneled walls, and the incredible work in the ceilings above. The entry has stunning tile floors. Straight ahead, toward the back of the house, is the formal living room. It has access to one-half of a two-sided fireplace that is shared with the office on the other side of that wall.
The formal living room also has tile floors and plenty of room for that beautiful rug you purchased while overseas or in your visits to the design center.
The windows are expansive and at least two-stories tall. They face north so they don't need any covering and they allow gentle light into the room that won't damage your antiques.
To the west and toward the front of the house, there is a formal dining room. It has a tile floor with a hardwood floor border around the outside of the room. It has wainscot finish in real wood on the lower portion of the walls.
To the east is the elevator with dual side opening to allow for access on all three levels. It has wood paneled walls.
The office is the next room to the east on the main level. It has wood paneled walls and ceiling and the other half of the two-sided fireplace that was in the formal living room. The fireplace has a granite tile face and bookcases built-in on either side.
Now, you"ll be impressed with the elegant master suite with it's sitting area and the buffet to the left of fireplace with the built-in coffee maker and sink. You won't even have to leave the room.
Again, the ceilings are custom made and the sitting area has custom crown molding. There are views of the parks and downtown from the sitting room.
And, now the luxurious master bath. It is unbelieveable! The glass-wrapped shower has two rain heads, two fixed wall shower heads and two flexible shower heads.
In the commode closet there is a bidet and a toilet. There is a custom walk-in closet with two entry doors.
The floor is tiled and there is a jetted tub and two separate vanities. See the photos below.
The elegance of the master bath is unsurpassed with the columns and windows out to the park and city beyond yet private.
The jetted tub is beautifully-placed between the two vanities. The ladies' vanity has an area where she could sit and apply her make-up. The men's vanity on the far other side allows him to get ready in private.
You can see the front of the arched shower enclosure in the picture, on the left, in the right side of that photo. It has a bench for sitting for your comfort.
Amazing attention to detail and beauty in every direction you look.
The close-up of the ladies' vanity is below.
