Want to feel like you live in Alaska? But still need to have convenient access to town? Here's a terrific location to meet those needs.
Circle Drive is a quiet unpaved short street. You are one lot in from paved streets all the way to town: Alatna, Hillside Drive, then O'Malley.
You have nearly an acre of quiet seclusion. (You really can't see much of the house from the street at all.) Owned for 26 years by the retired head of Alaska Audubon, the home has been updated, expanded, remodeled and very well maintained. Most of the landscaping is natural ground cover: native trees and bushes provide cover for birds and wildlife, and privacy. Yet there's a large lawn with a swing set, and the now unlandscaped area over the septic system that was just replaced.
Inside the home delivers much more than the little you can see from the street or driveway. That's because its appeal is to the other side: the large deck and generous windows all face south and west. They take in panoramic vistas of Cook Inlet and the surrounding mountains of the Alaska and Chugach Ranges.
The remodeled kitchen has solid-surface countertops, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast area (in addition the dining room) and a generous number of beautiful cabinetry. The floor plan is a great room concept: under a high ceiling on the second floor are the living, dining room and kitchen: basically all one open area with its wall of southwest-facing window.
Then to the south is the solarium, a recent addition. This provides separate access to the ground level, where three of the four bedrooms, a bath, family room, and garage are found.
That second level also includes the second full and powder baths, including the master bedroom suite. Conveniently located off the great room, the master bedroom is very large and has a walk-in closet and its own bath.
The mechanical systems have been replaced in recent years. The boiler is relatively new, and the installation includes a water-maker unit that draws heat from the boiler so you don't need a separate hot water heating appliance. This saves energy and tends to produce more hot water, for much longer.
Those with children will be pleased to discover that the attendance zones for this address are O'Malley Elementary, Goldenview Middle School and South High School. All enjoy excellent reputations.
