Why Is No One Buying Boise's Historic 1893 Queen Anne Home?

BOISE, Idaho. A Queen Anne built in 1893, Boise's historic Jones House has been on the market for nearly a year.

Recently relocated to the base of the foothills in downtown Boise, the Queen Anne recently underwent a full restoration under the supervision of an active Preservation Idaho member. Initially listed at $1M, the three-bed, two-bath, 1,459 sqft home's current asking price is $799,000.

Why is No One Buying the Jones House?

So what is it about this property that makes it a hard sell? Is it the cost to further the restoration? Or is it possible the historic residence is too dated for most peoples' taste? We're of the mind that the kitchen is the culprit. While there's technically nothing wrong with the space, it just doesn't mesh with the home's overall aesthetic. Perhaps a good spruce and new appliances would remedy that situation. But that's just our team's opinion. What do you think?

Journey through the ages as you explore the nooks and crannies of this Boise beauty!
