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.
