Description

This is the home you've been waiting for! It is updated and modern, yet carries the classic air of being part an established neighborhood. The family room has a gas fireplace, and there's a wood stove insert in the living room. The huge master bedroom has its own private balcony over the back yard, and a private gas fireplace for cozy winter evenings. It also has a private master bathroom and....and 2 closets, the walk-in closet could easily double as a "cloffice" with its bright window space. The deck off the dining room is covered, and is therefore protected from the elements, and so much fun in the evenings with twinkle lights. The 2-car garage is extra large, with plenty of space for storage or a freezer. There is a huge 16x20 storage shed in the back yard. It even has its own deck. The whole house has been upgraded to be extra energy efficient and therefore stays very cozy and warm in the winter, and cool in the summer, while retaining low utility bills. Downstairs has an incredible space filled with custom office cabinets and built-ins that would be perfect for someone that works from home, or for homeschool organizing.
It sits on an extra-large lot with Chester Creek at the edge of the back yard. The yard is full of mature landscaping such as trees and berries, as well as a new playground set. The interior has new LVP flooring, and the home is updated throughout.

FROM THE SELLERS- WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT OUR HOME:
"Moving into this home was an easy decision for us. We were drawn to the large, treed lot, beautiful office area, and proximity to parks and trails. Since moving in we have found much more to love. This neighborhood is warm and inviting. The large lot we fell in love with held delightful surprises for us; productive apple trees, mature raspberry bushes, currents, and gooseberries. Our summer evenings were filled with harvesting and jam making. We have enjoyed spending long beautiful Alaska evenings on the deck and winter evenings cozy by the wood stove. Having University Lake Dog Park and bike/ski trails only minutes away has enriched our lives. We love having the creek running through our property and being able to view the salmon, trout, and ducks who call it home. The trees around the home provide privacy and attract dozens of species of birds. Although the time has come for us to start the next phase in our lives this home will always hold a special place in our hearts."

    "This neighborhood is prone to high crime due to large number of low income apartments and rentals nearby as well as a homeless shelter. Large numbers of homeless inebriates roam the area."

    "I live near the hospital and traffic can be rough in the morning especially because Tudor is a very busy road but one that is most convenient for our daily commute. Other than that, I love this area so much. It’s close to APU and UAA and my work ANMC. People are friendly. The crime is low here."

    "great trail access, a dog park, and a location that keeps you less than 5 mins away from universities and medical campuses, under 10 mins to midtown shopping, and about 12 mins to downtown. great location! plus we're home to East High, the most diverse high school in the country!"

    "This neighborhood is 15-20 minutes in any direction from the wilds of South Central Alaska, or in Downtown Anchorage. Yet grocery stores, gas stations, schools and restaurants are within 5-8 miles. There are 2 major hospitals within walking distance for great jobs. City bus service in any direction is one block away."

    "The University area isn’t very dog friendly. Affordable homes that are nice don’t allow pets, but the ones that do allow pets aren’t as nice. Overall, great management but pet owners beware"
