This is worth the drive! If you like the feeling of being the lord, master
and mistress of all you survey, come out Kings Way Drive to this fine home.
And if you want peace and quiet and your privacy, you will find all of that
here. The home is on 2.5 acres and is surrounded by many more acres of
undeveloped land.
The owners raised their family here and are the original builders of the
home, in 1987. They spared no engineering sophistication. The concrete blocks of
the foundation were filled with concrete and dead-headed into the side of the
hill and rested on bedrock, for maximum structural stability. Framed with
imported 2x6 lumber, cedar sided and with a shake roof, the home has workmanship
and quality of materials rarely found even in today's new homes.
To exploit the views there are decks facing out toward Cook Inlet, the Alaska
Range and the twinkling lights of Anchorage. One deck off the master runs across
in front of the living room. The deck off the formal dining room and kitchen has
the hot tub.
This house is fun in many ways. The outdoor hot tub is a great place to hang
out, but downstairs there's a pool room and nearby is the spa, with its steam
sauna and shower.
A large home, there's 3896 square feet of living area, plus a triple garage.
A 372 square foot storage shed is outside. There are three bedrooms plus a study
and three full baths.
The hot water system circulates through the home, which means there is never
a wait for hot water when you turn on the faucet. The well is very productive,
with a 5.7 gallons per minute flow rate. A new septic system is being provided.
As you can see from the pictures, the design of the home is based on great
room concepts, with every room very spacious and full of windows. Cathedral
ceilings enhance the feeling of open living. Interior decorator amenities
include a see-though fireplace between the living and dining rooms and a wood
stove in the family room downstairs. There are several skylights to further the
feeling of living indoors in comfort with the outdoors all around you.
Finally, be sure to inspect the well-appointed kitchen with its gas range,
endless oak cabinets and pantry.
