For Sale: Stunning Queen Anne Dollhouse On Boise’s Harrison Blvd

Historic Manors of Boise's Harrison Boulevard

When it comes to Boise real estate, there's nothing quite like the craftsmanship and nuance of Harrison Boulevard's historic manors. We're especially smitten with the dollhouse-like facade of Boise Queen Annes. 

Queen Anne Mansions: a glimpse into Victorian Boise  

Distinct and decorative, the Queen Anne is a relic of the Victorian age, a time denoted by Edgar Allan Poe's gothic literary works, the rise of liberal ideology in the middle class, and the Industrial Revolution. Society's fascination with fortune tellers, hypnotism, and spiritualism was on the rise. Ladies with death-like pallor slayed in black, shoulder-bearing frocks with impossibly corsetted silhouettes.  

Architecture isn't the foundation of our adoration and affection for Queen Anne. It's the unbelievable lives that were lived within the storied homes. 

They're tangible links to Boise's complex Victorian past, which was anything but sunny. From extreme gender and social inequality to curbside freak shows and benchmark achievements in science, art, and technology, the Victorian era was a wildly exciting but grim free-for-all.    

Queen Anne Adapts to Boise Living in 2024

As much as we adore the charm and character of a Queen Anne, we'd sooner die than give up our WiFi, smart appliance, or our central heating and cooling systems. 

That's where the magic of modernization comes in. Imagine stepping into a stunning Queen Anne, with its intricate woodwork and stained glass windows, and discovering a modern kitchen and a spa-like bathroom inside. The comfort and convenience of 21st Century-living cloaked in a beautiful facade from another time is the best of both worlds.

Listed Feb. 2, 2024, on Zillow and numerous real-estate marketplace websites, we doubt this jewel will remain on the market for long.  

This exquisitely rare property envelopes five city lots on the corner of Harrison Blvd and Eastman St, making an unmistakable mark in Boise's historic fabric. Commissioned for the Looney family in 1905, renowned architects J.E. Tourtelotte and Company designed a residence with an unwavering dedication to the craft as applied to other famed works, including the Idaho Capitol Building.
