Bathroom Remodeling in North End

North End bathrooms

The North End is a designated historic district filled with early-1900s Craftsman bungalows, Victorians, and Tudor cottages, many on their original footprints near Camel’s Back Park and Hyde Park. These homes are full of character but were built when a single small bathroom served the whole house.

North End bathrooms are typically tight, original, and overdue: cast-iron tubs, plaster walls, dated tile, and waterproofing that has long since aged out. The work here is about respecting the period detail of the home while quietly modernizing the plumbing, waterproofing, and layout behind the walls. One local wrinkle worth knowing before you plan: the North End Historic District is locally designated (1994, expanded 2004), and the City of Boise describes the goal of its design review as preserving the character of each block ’as viewed from the street’. An interior bathroom remodel is not what that review is aimed at — but a project that enlarges a window, changes an exterior opening, or alters anything street-facing is a different conversation, and Boise Planning (208-608-7100) is the office to ask before you design around it.
