About This Home
Some homes just have the right vibe — and this one nails it. Nestled into one of the most private and peaceful settings around, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home delivers roughly 1,400 square feet of thoughtfully upgraded living space that punches well beyond its price point. The sellers loved it here, and once you see it, you'll understand why. Step inside and you're greeted by app-controlled LED light fixtures, dimmer switches throughout, and soft-close DeWils birch cabinetry with a butcher block counter section for convenience — the kind of details that separate a house from a home. The large primary suite features a walk-in closet, and the additional bedrooms offer generous closet space that actually fit what you throw at them. Three hall closets round out the storage situation nicely. The smart home features are dialed in: WiFi smart lock entry, motorized blackout shades in the dining area, Bluetooth bathroom vent fans, and wall-mounted TVs that stay with the home. Heat is covered with a baseboard system backed by an upgraded boiler and a wood stove for those cold Interior Alaska nights, with wood left behind for the new owners. The heated attached 2-car garage with storage space finishes out the package nicely. Out front, a covered patio sets the scene, and lawn care equipment conveys to the new owners along with all appliances. And about that driveway — unobstructed northern lights views. You simply cannot put a price on watching the northern lights from your own property in complete silence. The pricing reflects that there is some work still to be done — but when you consider that comparable homes in the area are listed considerably higher, the value here is hard to ignore. With the right deal structure, arrangements can also be made to deliver this home in turnkey condition. For a buyer paying attention to the market, this is the kind of opportunity is something to jump on. Close to the river and a state park, yet completely removed from the noise. Private, quiet, and ready for the right buyer to make it their own.
