About This Home

There is a lot to discover at this one-of-a-kind Hillside property. Set on nearly an acre with incredible views across the Anchorage Bowl to Sleeping Lady, the Alaska Range and Denali, this 3,390 sq ft home pairs a unique, flexible floor plan with spaces designed for both gathering and getting away. Large windows fill the main living areas with natural light and bring the view into the home, while multiple living spaces and decks spread across different levels give the house a character all its own. The kitchen features cherry cabinetry, granite countertops and plenty of room to gather, opening into comfortable living spaces that make just as much sense for a quiet winter evening as they do for a house full of people. Downstairs, a large rec room with a beautiful wet bar creates an entirely different place to relax, watch a game or entertain, while an adjacent bonus room can easily function as a fourth bedroom, office, gym or guest space. A massive walk-in unfinished storage and utility area provides the kind of extra space that is hard to have too much of. With multiple living areas throughout the home, there is room to be together without everyone having to be in the same room--a floor plan particularly easy to appreciate when Alaska's long winters move life indoors. When summer arrives, the living space expands outside. Multiple levels of decking overlook a remarkably flat, private and usable backyard surrounded by mature trees. Beyond the lawn, little trails wind through the wooded portion of the property to a treehouse tucked among the trees. A substantial shed with a roll-up door offers excellent storage and incorporates a chicken coop with a fenced run underneath, while a separate private outbuilding houses a sauna of its own. There is room here for gardens, kids, dogs, gatherings, hobbies and all the gear that comes with an Alaska lifestyle. A large three-car garage, extra parking and a pull-through driveway add another level of practicality, particularly for anyone with trailers, boats or recreational toys. And when you want to leave the property, the Chugach is right nearby, with easy access to the extensive trail system and year-round recreation of the Anchorage Hillside. Through every season, the setting remains part of the experience. Watch the lights of Anchorage come on below, retreat to the sauna on a cold winter evening, disappear into the woods with the kids, or settle in beside the windows as a winter storm moves across the Inlet. On a clear day, the view stretches all the way to Denali. This is a home with room to live, a property with room to explore, and a setting that never gets old.
