Building Value into Boise Real Estate

Buying Boise real estate and building a new home is easy but creating value is the challenge. How can you make your Boise Real Estate more valuable? Better use of space, quality building products and subcontractors, beautiful interior design and maximizing your dollar with a builder who understands not only the latest building trends but also the current Boise real estate market. Building a Boise dream home is about working with a Boise Builder who can not only make it a reality but also exceed your expectation from quality of your home to customer service. Boise Real Estate, as Scott will tell you is about affordability and lifestyle. That is right, Boise real estate really is about lifestyle! Enjoying your home and designing it to actually  fit your life is Scott Flynn's goal.


Flynner Homes - The Way Homes Used to be Built!
A Flynner Home incorporates traditional craftsman style architecture, historical details and a sense of community into each home. We at Flynner Homes’ utilize sustainable materials and updated floor plans for a traditional feel, fitting right into today’s new urban neighborhoods.

Talk About Boise Real Estate Curb Appeal!
Flynner Homes’ meets the expectations of “True” craftsman style exterior details, which accentuate curb appeal and a timeless era. These exterior details can be seen in three unique ways:

  • 24 inch long eves, which protect the home from Mother Nature and enhance the architecture and form of the home.
  • A large covered porch, which conveys a community atmosphere and invites you to sit and relax.
  • The face of the garage sits back off the front of the home placing the emphasis back on the architecture of the home, not the garage.

 

Specializing in “Arts & Crafts” Interiors!
You will notice immediately after walking into a Flynner Home the quality workmanship and handcrafted beauty of extensive millwork and decor. Stylish colors hit you instantly as spacious rooms glow in rare earth tones. Rich wood floors are plentiful. Beadboard wainscoting, fully wrapped windows and custom built-ins can be found throughout. Other details include granite countertops, slate backsplashes, tile floors, shaker cabinets and Tiffany lighting. Flynner Homes’ carries the Energy Star symbol, which adds a sense of comfort and peace of mind knowing your home is well constructed and well insulated.

Be Pleasantly Surprised!
So, you have driven by a Flynner Home. Wonder what’s inside?

 

  • Exterior elements of a Flynner Home move inside, bringing the outside in, completing the home in a virtual ebb and flow.
  • Arts and crafts entry ways are standard and garnish a Flynner Home with extensive hand- crafted finish work and designed for that particular room.
  • Fixtures and appliances are hand picked according to a the motif of the home and adds to the beauty and fulfillment you will feel when you walk into a Flynner Home.

It just feels right!
The quality and dependability of materials used on the outside of a Flynner Home are also on the inside. By concentrating on value instead of production, our homes are unique, aesthetically pleasing and makes an owner proud to have went with a Flynner Home for their Boise real estate needs.

Hand-Built Value
Knowing what to look for in a new home is difficult, at best, to grasp. Having it handing to you in every aspect, is unexpected. A Flynner Home will surprise you, will make you feel at home, will make you feel at peace and will satisfy you for years to come. Simply concentrating on design is not enough.

A Flynner Home needs to have a theme, a sense that every little detail fits and comes together as one and a feeling that nothing is out of place. A Flynner Home is not on a tight schedule, competing with the dozen per month builders. We don’t rush quality, and that adds value. By taking the time to use finish carpentry instead of store bought, and mill work instead of style numbers from a catalog, you will actually see the heart and soul put into each project every time, in every home.

We are not striving to be a big builder, simply a great builder.

Thank you for reading Building Value into Boise Real Estate,

The Value of Traditional Architecture
Main / Building Value into Boise Real Estate  

The first thing to note is that the term traditional is not a style, but a collection of elements that has been repeated over time, evolving through many styles.

The basis of traditional structures is really innovation, which means combining the best of what has come before with the best of today to build what will be even better tomorrow. Therefore the true value of traditional architecture comes from those builders that are constantly improving their product in areas such as design, material selections and efficiency – “Built with the integrity of the past, and the technology of the present.” as we like to say here at Flynner Homes.

 Many of us would love to live in an historic Victorian, Bungalow, Colonial or Craftsman style home, but do not want the drafty windows, squeaky floors and inefficient heating and cooling systems. So by taking the unique characteristics of the past, such as architecture and hand-crafted detailing and combining it with sustainable durable materials along with Energy Star or LEED certifications, we create homes that people love to call home.  
 
For more information regarding traditional architecture please feel free to call me direct at 208-867-4587 or visit us a www.flynnerhomes.com

Re:The Value of Traditional Architecture
Scott,

Question. I really don't know much about construction, but when I am in Europe, or old areas of Boston, Michigan, NY etc... I see homes... I guess they are 'traditional' but the point is they were built to last centuries, sold craftsmanship. I love the old wood frame houses of the German Black forest or the Boston Brown Stones.

When I look at most valley construction...sure the add some decorative elements to make it look like some famous style, but in my mind it looks like a piece of junk that will need to be leveled and rebuilt in 50 years.

Am I wrong about modern punch thru the walls, redo the supports etc... construction. Do builders still build these types of 'traditional structures'?

Re:The Value of Traditional Architecture
E,

What you are touching on are the structural materials used today vs the materials of the past. The structures you are referring were probably made from bricks or quarried stone, which took years to build. Today we (Flynner) focuss on sustainable durable materials that out perform the typical industry materials that most others have built with recently. These materials include concrete-fiber siding (50 yr warranty), natural-fiber flooring (25-yr warranty), 2x6 construction and EStar. Will these homes last as long as a home built in Tuscany? Probably not, but then again very few would be able to afford a home built from granite that is designed to stand for centuries.

Re:The Value of Traditional Architecture
thanks, I lived in 1 house built in 1870ish in Rhode Island, 1907 Boston, 1894 Europe... I just loved those structures and the enduring feeling. Appreciate the answer

Re:The Value of Traditional Architecture
E,

What you are describing is also the concept of sustainability and durability. Historically structures where inherently constructed to last for centuries, but as we made housing more affordable after the great depression something had to give. Over the last few decades the materials and labor had gotten so poor that negative views from the local communities started to grow. The building industry has since started a new movement, the green, sustainable, durable movement, to try and combat these negative views. The over all goal is to restore some of the integrity that our structures once had.
