About This Home

As of November 2025

Discover the charm of this unique, rustic Alaskan home tucked away on a secluded hillside street, yet just moments from expansive parks and endless trails. Perfectly blending modern updates with natural beauty, this home offers comfort, character, and a true connection to the outdoors. The main floor features an updated eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gasrange, and updated lighting. Gather in the stunning two-story great room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the outdoors and a cozy wood stove creates the perfect Alaskan ambiance. Step outside to the spacious deck and South-West facing backyard, beautifully landscaped with perennial gardens, fruit-bearing shrubs, raised beds, and native plants - a gardener's dream retreat. Also on the main level, you'll find a convenient room that can function as an office or 4th bedroom, full bathroom, and laundry area. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill ensuite with dual vanities, a walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet. The basement provides a third bedroom that could also be used as a flexible space for recreation, hobbies with a legal egress window. Secluded yet connected, this hillside home offers the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern updates in a natural setting.
