Property Description

Tucked well back from one of South Addition's quietest streets, this 3,800-square-foot home offers something rare this close to downtown Anchorage: genuine privacy. Mature trees and professional landscaping frame a generous lot that backs to the Alaska Railroad corridor, with views beyond across Cook Inlet. Sightlines reach west through the treetops to Denali and the Western Alaska Range, and east to the Chugach. Westchester Lagoon and the Coastal Trail are two blocks away. The main living spaces sit on the top floor, where the light and views are best. A large living room with picture windows flows into an open kitchen with a commercial-grade BlueStar cooktop and hood, SubZero refrigerator, and double wall oven, with ample room for dining alongside a wet bar. New engineered wood floors run through the kitchen, living area, and loft. One more flight of stairs leads to an open loft suited to a study or quiet office, which opens onto a rooftop deck. The level below holds three bedrooms and it's own living room, which is open to the shared spaces above. The primary suite is especially generous, with a very large walk-in closet, a newly remodeled en-suite bath, and a private deck overlooking the backyard. Every bathroom in the home has been recently remodeled with consistent taste, and new carpet runs throughout. At ground level, there is a two-car garage and a separate one-car garage, as well as two entrances, each with a generous foyer with heated tile floors and additional storage. There is a bike/toy/coats/gear room off one entrance that could also be a small office, as well as a partly finished room behind the two-car garage, with a simple half bath, that lends itself to a home gym, office, or workshop. Originally built as a duplex and thoughtfully converted to a single-family home in the 1990s, the layout retains the flexibility to create a separate apartment or a full two-unit arrangement with only modest changes. The owners have invested steadily in the home's systems and envelope over the past decade, including new Andersen windows, triple-glazed doors and fixed windows in the primary suite, steel siding over added rigid foam insulation, steel gutters, commercial-grade de-icing cables, a new boiler and furnace with high-output baseboard heat, and new garage doors. A pre-listing inspection and a complete dated list of improvements are available for review.
