If you came to Alaska to live in Alaska, look no further than Steamboat Drive. Go up
and around and up and around above South Goldenview Drive and you come out on top of
everything, at the end of the road. The last home, it faces the view forever but is tucked
back into enough trees and the mountain behind it to be sheltered from all but the most
severe weather.
As the photo suggests, the home is all-cedar in its most beautiful natural coloration.
The long-life cedar shake roof completes the Alaska feel with costly materials that are
simply unaffordable at today's lumber prices.
This 1985 home has been lovingly cared-for. The interior has been repainted and all
carpets were just replaced, in preparation for marketing. The home is on three levels, a
two-story with a full walkout lower level. There are artic entries on both levels. The
main level is a great room, with a huge eat-in kitchen with natural oak cabinets, a formal
dining room and living room facing the view and a piano room. Upstairs is a romantic
master bedroom suite with a skylight over the bed and windows facing Mt Susitna, Cook
Inlet, the Alaska Range and Comet Hale-Bopp. The full suite includes a walk-in closet and
separate wardrobe and a large master bath.
Back on the main level there are two more bedrooms with bath. And downstairs is the
family room that goes on forever, more bedrooms, bath, storage rooms and the mechanical
areas. Altogether the living areas total 3420 square feet, plus the generous garage.
