Convenient East Anchorage living! Here's a ranch home in a part of town where it is sometimes difficult to find a home with current decor. And a floor plan that meets today's needs.

Located near 20th and Muldoon, Brink Drive is a quiet looped street that has little through traffic. Yes, Muldoon Road is adjacent, but you are hardly aware it's there. That's because this home is so deeply buffered and high above that road grade that all you mostly seem to notice is your enjoyment of the sun streaming in and the view of the mountains to the east, and so far toward Downtown to the west that the owners say they watch the fireworks from their deck!

This part of town is even closer to Elmendorf and Ft. Richardson gates than Eagle River. It's also an easy drive to all the employment in the University-Medical complexes.

Speaking of decks, well, they are just enormous. The front deck is generous, but as you can see from the virtual tour and photos below, the rear deck extends across the entire back width of the home, and juts out into the fenced yard about twenty feet.

Inside, the home delivers all it suggests from the street, and more! Remodeled top to bottom in recent years, it sports a modern spacious kitchen with newer appliances. The baths have been remodeled. Unlike many homes of this age and in this part of town it has a real master bedroom suite. The only bedroom on this main level, it is a combination of three rooms. So it has its own bath (there's a powder bath on the main level for guests), a walk-in closet, and a large office area with built in desks, storage and cabinetry.

There is a formal dining room off the living room. The living room has one of two attractive fireplaces in the home; the other is in the family room downstairs. Next is the remodeled kitchen, which includes a large eat-in breakfast area, and beside it, an intimate TV nook or additional study. The door to the rear deck is here.

This is what's known as a hillside ranch. This means that all you see from the street is one level. Then there's a whole other level downstairs, that walks out into the back yard. So it's not like the lower level is some kind of unappealing basement. Indeed, with two additional bedrooms, the family room, laundry room and another bath, this is extremely functional living space.

Add to all this a double garage and at the listed price this is an outstanding value for over 2100 sq.ft. of living area.
