Updated Collister home, steps from the foothills.

Tucked into Boise's Collister neighborhood, this 1978 single-family home sits on a quiet street with the foothills close enough to see from the yard. Hiking and biking trails are a short drive away, and downtown Boise, Hyde Park, and the Greenbelt are all within a few minutes of the driveway.

Inside, two separate living areas give the floor plan a natural flexibility — one room can do the work of an office or a den while the other stays open. Out back, a covered patio looks out over raised garden beds, the kind of setup that earns its keep through spring seedlings and long summer evenings in equal measure.
