I've been fascinated by the house since before I actually moved to the Treasure Valley! I had no idea that it had never ever been on the market before!

I give my dad all the credit for making sure that I wasn't homeless when I moved to Boise seven years ago.  While I was busy BSing my way through my final exams and presentations at college, Dad was online trying to find me a place to live without ever seeing the city.  He found a perfect apartment for me less than half a mile from the station and once he locked that down, he started exploring my new neighborhood via Google Earth.  That's when he noticed a HUGE house not far from my apartment.

That house turned to be the Moore-Cunningham mansion! The house is on the market for the first time since it was built in 1891! The house is almost as old as the sate of Idaho itself and according to KTVB, it was designed by the city's first architect with professional training. It was also the first house in the country to use geothermal water to heat both the home and backyard swimming pool.

The house has been with a single family since businessman and banker CW Moore commissioned it's construction over 125 years ago.  It's currently in the hands of Laura Bettis, Moore's great-great granddaughter but she lives and runs a ranch in Valley County.  At this point, it's not practical for her to keep up maintenance on such a huge home that she's not living in.  That's why she made the difficult decision to put the Queen Anne style minion on the market.

Take a look at the pictures below to see what you get for a cool $2.4 million!
