Boise Luxury Real Estate in Prestigious Somerset Heights

Set in Somerset Heights among Boise’s most notable properties, this Orion Court residence is the pinnacle of luxury and design. Embracing the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright’s renowned architecture, whose work emerged in opposition to the lavish home designs of old Europe, pursuing a distinctly American style inspired by expansive horizons and a deep yearning for simplicity. Modern horizontal lines and strong geometry are masterfully crafted using raw, natural materials and restrained ornamentation. The result is a home of extraordinary presence and quiet sophistication. Beyond luxurious, yet not overstated. Here, you’ll find a sanctuary among the hills — a sacred haven, a place of refuge, a quiet, private space — tucked in the hills above Boise’s popular North End and downtown. Meticulously curated landscape complements modern window formations, wide overhanging eaves, and architectural bands of brick, steel, and wood. The home and its surroundings are a brilliant interplay of sleek surfaces and natural textures, of contemporary style and timeless craftsmanship.

Arrival inspires a moment of pause to take it all in: the architecture, the setting, the foothill backdrop, the gardens, and the incredible sense of tranquility. Step inside to soaring ceilings, walls of glass, wood and stone. An open asymmetrical floor plan – characteristic of Prairie-style homes – provides exceptional function and flow while prioritizing sightlines that lead outward. Sounds of nearby water features gently babble in the background. Hardwood floors lead from the entry to the great room. Multiple seating vignettes center around separate fireplaces, while floor-to-ceiling windows overlook a private yard. Grand living and entertaining spaces flow easily from one to another, with the chef’s kitchen as a natural gathering place. Sleek cabinetry in a rich wood tone surrounds a generous island, complemented by a butler’s pass-through, walk-in pantry, coffee bar, drink station, multiple prep areas, and a suite of gourmet stainless steel appliances – including double ovens, dual dishwashers, gas range, and professional-grade refrigerator. Privately positioned on the main level, the primary wing is a true owner’s retreat with designer lighting, dressing room and dual closets, custom built-ins, and luxurious ensuite bath. French doors open to a private resort-inspired courtyard that is nothing short of heavenly. Back inside, an additional main-floor bedroom and full bath make wonderful guest quarters. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious bonus room and 3 generous bedrooms, one with its own ensuite bathroom, while the others share a Jack & Jill bath. A lower-level theater room offers a true movie-watching experience with tiered seating, wet bar, projector, and built-in surround sound.

Throughout the home, from nearly every room, wide glass doors open to shaded patios and private green spaces, blending the lines between outside and in. Wherever you are, a soothing moment of fresh air and beautiful surroundings awaits. Covered entertaining areas for al fresco dining, cocktail parties, and summer soirées extend to lush lawns framed by tall privacy hedges and exquisite shade trees. An extensive outdoor kitchen includes built-in BBQ, refrigerated drawers, bar seating, and a fabulous wood-fired pizza oven. Stone pathways meander among the lawns, revealing another patio, a balcony, a garden area with raised beds, and at last, the owners’ courtyard behind a unique, rounded, wood-slat door. Stone, wood, and vine-covered trellises enclose a secret garden, where an in-ground spa is tucked completely from view. For all its remarkable privacy, the residence remains deeply connected to Boise. Somerset Heights offers a community pool, incredible access to outdoor recreation, and coveted proximity to the North End, Hyde Park, excellent schools, downtown Boise, and St. Luke’s.
