1729 Edgecumbe Dr, Sitka, AK, 99835
About This Home
Set on desirable Edgecumbe Drive, this refined coastal home is renovated throughout with elevated finishes: ocean and Mt. Edgecumbe views, a chef's kitchen, heated tile floors in the baths, heat pumps, and a separate downstairs living room with an electric fireplace, all opening to an expansive view deck built for long Alaskan evenings. A private 1-bedroom cottage with its own entrance, back deck, and dedicated parking adds guest quarters or rental income, and the main home itself has a proven run as a sought-after short-term rental (permit non-transferable; a new owner reapplies), a rare live-in-and-earn opportunity. A detached skylit shop with wall-to-wall built-in shelving, a separate finished home office, and boat parking round out the property. Out back, a fully fenced yard offers a lawn, room for a garden, and a fire-pit area made for gathering. Minutes from town, move-in ready, with home and cottage both offered fully furnished.
