About This Home

Historic charm and comfortable living rarely come together like this on the Palouse, especially at a price point under $500,000. Tucked into a quiet Colfax neighborhood, this beautifully maintained home delivers both character and space in a way that is increasingly hard to find.Inside, the heart of the home is a thoughtfully updated custom kitchen featuring an Italian dual gas range and electric oven, along with new countertops, cabinetry, and backsplash. The layout flows naturally into a formal dining and family space, creating an inviting setting for everyday living and gatherings.The main level opens into a spacious living room filled with natural light from expansive windows, highlighted by stunning wood floors and a gas fireplace that adds warmth and charm. Just off the living area, step outside to a private, tiered deck that offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by mature landscaping. A convenient 3/4 bathroom and a versatile bedroom or office complete this level.Upstairs, you will find 4 additional bedrooms, each with generously sized closets. Two of the rooms feature windows that bring in beautiful natural light, adding to the home’s inviting feel. This level also includes a full bathroom with a charming built-in vanity, along with easy access to laundry and an oversized linen closet for added functionality.The home continues to impress with a full staircase leading to an unfinished attic, offering exceptional potential for future expansion, studio space, or storage.Downstairs, a large basement provides even more flexibility with multiple workbenches, abundant storage, a second washer and dryer setup, and existing plumbing that creates a clear opportunity to add a third bathroom.
