Heritage Heights is Anchorage's newest and perhaps most distinguished communities. Located on the mid-Hillside, it combines convenience (about 20 minutes or less to Midtown Anchorage) with a semi-rural lifestyle. Lot sizes are very generous: over an acre. Streets are paved, utilities are underground and the lots are well-treed. Heritage Heights Drive meanders between Hillside Drive and Huffman Road, which makes the commute equally convenient whether you exit at O'Malley, or Huffman, off Seward Highway. The terrain is gently rolling: winter driving is relatively easy, much more so than many Hillside locations farther away and higher in the mountains. There is a distinct lack of crowding, which makes this a peaceful neighborhood to come home to.
Only Anchorage's most experienced builders have constructed homes here. The neighborhood is only about five years old, so each home is a custom creation that showcases the builders' best abilities. This home is no exception. Colony Builders is one of Anchorage's most respected builders, especially with homes seen at the top of the market. This plan was new at the time and is one of the company's most functional, and beautiful, works ever created. It is built to the five-star energy rating for additional comfort and fuel economy.
Its functionality can't be rivaled. On three levels and containing 5346 sq.ft of living area, all but one of its five bedrooms are on the upper floor. The master suite has a coffered ceiling and private bath with separated vanities and granite countertops, jetted tub and shower. That level additionally has two more bedrooms that share a bath, plus a "teen suite". That lovely double-sized room includes its own, three-quarter bath. The upper level is also the location of the generous laundry room.
The middle (entry) level has all the main living areas: formal living and dining rooms, family room and kitchen with walk-in pantry. There's also an office on this floor, and a guest powder bath.
The lower level is what gives the home its especially high appeal. Suitable for a wide variety of uses and users, it has a workout room, home theatre room, family room, storage closets, the fifth bedroom and another full bath. There's also a "butler kitchen" for quick and easy use by guests, or perhaps older family members, a nanny, or teens living in that downstairs bedroom.
The fit, finish and workmanship of this home showcases the builder's best workmanship and design abilities. The granite countertops in the kitchen and master bath are the prettiest I've seen anywhere: they just glow with warmth and understated elegance. Cherry cabinetry throughout fits beautifully with the overall decor. There are built-ins in many rooms, all of the highest workmanship and quality.
The generous 833 sq.ft. garage is entered from a large paved driveway that has extra parking and opens from the side of the home. This design gives an elegant presentation from the street because the front elevation, or street view, shows only the beautiful lines of the home and its gabled and hip roof system, and not the dominance of garage doors.
The large deck extends across much of the rear of the home. The surface is Trex, the composition material that needs no painting or maintenance.
This home works well for entertainment. From the smaller dinner party to large gatherings it provides an easy flow for guests to gather and mingle.
