How to Get There

This lovingly cared for classic Hillside home has all the enduring values so prized in Anchorage.

Spring Forest combines the best amenities of Hillside living. A close-in location off Birch Rd. near O'Malley makes it and easy commute. The new Carrs-Safeway and Fred Meyer are at the foot of the hill about two miles away. Schools are among the best in Anchorage. The lots are large, mostly an acre, with mature landscaping and big trees.

Spring Forest operates its own water system. The dues of $63 per month also includes maintenance of the common greenbelt easement along the street and monumentation at the entrance to the community. Community water means the entire area of each lot is available for septic systems and future replacement. This home's septic was recently tested and passed. For details please download the information package from the above link.

The yard is a lovely combination of landscaped and natural areas, for a pleasant presentation from the street and relative ease of maintenance. There is RV parking in an area that includes a large shed. This area is screened from street view in a fenced yard that has direct access from a personnel door from the garage.

The home has five bedrooms, all upstairs. Bedrooms are very large, as are the closets. All but one of the bedrooms has organized California Closets.

There are three and a half baths. The powder room is on the main level. In addition to the beautifully remodeled master bath in that bedroom suite, there is a bath off the second family area upstairs, and a Jack and Jill bath that connects two of the other bedrooms.

Downstairs is all common living area. The open entry leads to all the other areas of the home directly. There are formal living and dining rooms. The kitchen is very large, with a breakfast bar and informal eating nook. Beyond the nook is the long family room with its piano alcove.

Hardwood floors, solid oak tongue in groove flooring, not a laminate or composition product, contribute to the classic lines of this home.  They gleam from their having been recently refinished.

Corian and solid surface countertops are used throughout the home. The kitchen cabinetry is an elegant cherry. The functional kitchen has a cooktop, convection microwave and oven.

The interior of the home has been recently repainted. The look of the home has been softened with soft flat texturing of the walls. Recessed cans provide excellent lighting in key areas such as the kitchen.

The mechanical systems included a hot water baseboard system (recently inspected) with multiple heat zones, a water maker (can't run out), new water softening system, and central vacuum.
