It's not always easy to find a two-story home on a nice lot for under $400,000 in South Anchorage these days. The reason is the happy combination of market appreciation and the popularity of this part of town. The schools are strong, shopping is close at hand, and it's only a short drive down Turnagain Arm to all the recreation opportunities of the ski community of Girdwood and the Kenai Peninsula. Back in Anchorage, with no red lights until 36th Ave, it's a short commute to downtown or midtown office districts. And, for the traveler, it's only minutes on Minnesota over to Anchorage International Airport. What can be even harder in this part of town is to find a home on a nice lot that isn't seriously dated. (Or, perhaps more politely, a "remodeling opportunity".) And we aren't just speaking of decor issues. Homes built 20 and more years ago in Anchorage now have reached the age where re-roofing and replacement of mechanical systems have become necessary.
Welcome home! These owners just did it all for you.
The roof is new. The flooring, including all the dressy hardwood laminates, is new. Both baths have been redone, with plumbing fixtures replaced. They repainted the interior. They remodeled the kitchen. They replaced all the lighting. Exterior doors are new. Decks were refurbished and one was replaced. The furnace and hot water heaters are new. There's a beautiful, new gas direct-vent fireplace.
I said "two-story," and it's also true that homes on nice lots in this part of town tend to be other floor plans. This makes at least half the home below grade, a fact that makes the true two-story home much more valuable in the marketplace. This is because Alaskans treasure light and functionality. They don't always like to be "downstairs," or "in the basement."
Because of its design, this home's main living area is one wide open area under 25 foot ceilings. Take the virtual tour or look at the individual photos below. Guests and anyone living here can appreciate how easy it is to congregate around the kitchen: nobody will feel left out.
Another thing that's hard to find is a good-sized master bedroom suite. Again, "welcome home." As you'll see from the virtual tour and photos, this master is enormous. The master bath has a huge jetted tub and a double vanity, again modernized with new lights, countertop, mirrors, and fixtures. Outside the master is a large office area or family room that invites a variety of uses. It overlooks the downstairs.
With several decks around the home, a fully-fenced back yard, and a generous double garage to complete the package, this is a home that will certainly please its lucky next owner.
