Description

Discover the charm of this unique, rustic Alaskan home tucked away on a secluded hillside street, yet just moments from expansive parks and endless trails. Perfectly blending modern updates with natural beauty, this home offers comfort, character, and a true connection to the outdoors. The main floor features an updated eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gasrange, and updated lighting. Gather in the stunning two-story great room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the outdoors and a cozy wood stove creates the perfect Alaskan ambiance. Step outside to the spacious deck and South-West facing backyard, beautifully landscaped with perennial gardens, fruit-bearing shrubs, raised beds, and native plants - a gardener's dream retreat. Also on the main level, you'll find a convenient room that can function as an office or 4th bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry area. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill ensuite with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet. The basement provides a third bedroom that could also be used as a flexible space for recreation, hobbies with a legal egress window. Secluded yet connected, this hillside home offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern updates in a natural setting.

    "I’m Retired so don’t commute. But getting anywhere in Anchorage is just an easy 20 min drive. If you’re from any major US city you will laugh when you hear locals complaining about the “traffic” at the 3 major intersections. "

    "The wildlife and quiet. In my yard, over the years, I have seen bears, eagles, owls, a fox, a coyote, porcupines, moose, of course, and even a wolverine on one occasion. Yet it is only a 20 minute commute to downtown and 15 minutes to mid-town or the U-Med area."
