Yahoo Finance These two homes could become the most expensive ever sold in Boise. Take a look inside
If you want to make a bit of Boise housing market history, now’s your chance.
Two unique East End homes, just a one-mile walk from one another, have recently been put on the market for prices that would break the record for the most expensive home sold in Boise.
146 W. Skylark Drive went on the market last month for $5.45 million, making it the most expensive Boise home currently for sale, while 1403 N. Promontory Road was listed for $4.99 million a week ago. If sold at the listing price, both houses would beat Boise’s current most expensive home, which was sold for $4.98 million in September.
Of course, the owners of both homes could agree to sell for less than the asking price.
“While a home may be listed for $6.5 million, it may not sell for that,” Taylor Gray, spokesperson for Boise Regional Realtors, told the Idaho Statesman. “A seller can list a home at whatever their heart pleases, but it’s truly up to market trends and buyer interest as to what the home will actually sell for.”
If you are looking to make history—or simply take a look inside the lives of those who can afford a multi-million dollar home—here’s what to know about both houses.
A front-row seat of Boise
Many of the East End’s homes offer great views of downtown Boise, but the view from 146 W. Skylark Drive alone may be worth the $5.45 million price tag.
Fortunately, you get the rest of the house for that price, too.
The four-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom home sits on 5,491 square feet and features a king-size chef’s kitchen, a game room on the bottom floor, and numerous outdoor amenities such as a pool, hot tub, and enclosed kitchen with a full bar.
An attached garage, fit with electric vehicle charging stations, is spacious enough for three cars. Additional outdoor parking is also available along the driveway.
And maybe the best part?
Construction of the home was only finished in 2023, meaning whoever moves in will be the first to live there.
Luxury and scenic beauty in the foothills
Just a short walk south of the Skylark Drive home sits 1403 N. Promontory Road, a four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home that blends the feel of cabin living with beautiful views of the Boise Foothills and downtown.
The property sits on 9,367 square feet of land and features a privately gated and walled yard, a heated driveway, a personal gym, and a large deck with a firepit that looks out over the foothills.
Inside, 30-foot-tall ceilings and large windows make the property feel spacious, while wooden floors and siding give the home a cozy vibe. According to the listing, the main floor master bedroom features two “spa-like bathrooms,” while the mother-in-law suite is complete with an elevator, private balcony, and kitchen.
The home was built in 2016 and has had just one previous owner.
