About This Home

Beautiful chalet-style 3350 sq ft home featuring a huge sunny living room with a vaulted open-beam ceiling and 2-story stone fireplace. Equally sizable family room w/ a cozy wood stove and french doors opening to a spacious deck. Large kitchen with 2 pantries, loads of cabinet space. Lovely wooded setting w/ easy access to downtown, the Spit, ski trails, snow-machining and other outdoor pursuits! This is a gem of a property! The convenient location on West Hill provides both wooded privacy and open sunny areas for growing your own food and enjoying time outdoors. With a concrete block foundation and 13-year-old roof, this is a solidly constructed house from top to bottom. Freshly painted decks, raised garden beds, a cozy fire pit gathering area, a generous parking area, and a 2-car garage all combine to make living here a true delight! Here's what the current owners have to say: We have loved the coziness and spaciousness that this house has given us throughout our time living in it. The house has hosted many birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and shared meals through all seasons, and became a major gathering space for our friends and family alike--whether in the large living rooms, on the western deck, or gathered on the lawn or around the fire pit. The wood stove and two fireplaces are perfect for creating ambiance and helping heat the house in winter. The excellent southern exposure offers abundant light during summer's gardening and porch time, and in winter even on the shortest days. We've been so grateful to live close to town (less than 10 minutes from downtown Homer) and on a well maintained road and with no year-round residents to our north, west, and south, in an already fairly quiet neighborhood. As an old house, it has proven sturdy and well-built with quality materials difficult or impossible to source in newer construction. There is a ton of space in the house for storage, and we still had plenty of space even with 7 individuals' household belongings. Beyond the house, the combination of open and forested areas naturally divides the space on the ~1 acre lot, providing plenty of opportunities to set up a garden and small homestead of sorts and store equipment for exploring Alaska.
