A Rare 1958 Mid-Century Home with 7,000 Square Feet of Endless Potential – 5100 W. Bel Air

A Rare Opportunity in Boise Featuring An Entire Pool House, Recreation Room, and Steam Room

As a Boise native and Mid-Century enthusiast, I’m always on the lookout for homes that capture the essence of the era, and 5100 W Bel Air St is a prime example. Sitting on a sprawling 1-acre rim lot near Hillcrest Country Club, this home offers 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, and 6,875 square feet of potential—whether you’re dreaming of restoring its original character or bringing in modern updates.

 

What truly stands out about this property is the attention to detail and space. The expansive pool house with a sauna, meticulously cared for over the years, adds a luxurious touch and offers a perfect retreat for relaxing or entertaining. It’s a rare feature that complements the home’s Mid-Century charm while enhancing its functionality for today’s lifestyle.

Inside, the main level showcases a grand living room with a cozy fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light, and a custom-built bookshelf wall that adds character and warmth. The formal dining area and spacious kitchen, complete with original custom cabinetry, offer endless possibilities for those looking to personalize the space.

The lower level is just as impressive, featuring additional living areas including a family room, a recreation space, a wet bar, and even a second master suite—ideal for hosting guests or creating a multi-generational living setup.

 

Beyond the home itself, the R-1B zoning presents an exciting opportunity. Whether you choose to enhance the existing home or take advantage of the lot’s potential to subdivide into multiple parcels (up to 4.8 units per acre), the flexibility here is undeniable.

With sweeping views and a prime location, this home is a rare find in Boise’s growing Mid-Century community. Whether you're an investor, a preservationist, or someone looking for a unique place to call home, 5100 W Bel Air St is packed with potential and waiting to be reimagined.
