Description
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. A cellar space beneath the deck adds a unique and practical touch.Major exterior updates, including the roof and paint, have already been completed, giving peace of mind to the next owner.Outside, the expansive lot is framed by mature trees and offers ample yard space to enjoy. A massive carport easily accommodates up to 3 vehicles, and the 19 x 18 detached 2-car garage adds even more versatility for parking, hobbies, or storage. Beyond its features, this home carries a meaningful place in Colfax history. It was once the residence of the town’s first doctor, who served the community for 52 years and delivered over 5,000 babies, making this property not just a home, but a piece of local legacy.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMoving is rough and it took my kids a good month to settle in to the change. Since then they have found their niches. Classes and teachers are much more effective in preparing my children for college than their previous school. It is being remodeled to keep up with modern education and safety needs. The community is supportive of the school and activities. Kids are welcome to join any sport, club, or activity. The school highly supports music and the arts. Teachers and administration make themselves available for one on one conferences. If students share feelings and thoughts about current events or personal struggles, they are listened to by teachers and administration.Parent Review6y ago - Leonard M Jennings Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school. We had the choice of driving 10 minutes in the opposite direction to a university town-influenced school district, and so pleased we are in Colfax. More positive adult influence per student, and in a town that really has some roots and community!Parent Review11y ago
