About This Home
**DOUBLE LOT ON 5TH ST!** Welcome home to this beautiful property tucked into one of the quietest corners of downtown Douglas! The main residence offers 2 bedrooms, a dedicated office, and a full bathroom. There is an attached 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment to assist with the mortgage or allow multi-generational living. Hardwood floors run from a tiled entry into a living room with a pellet stove and newer vinyl windows, flowing into an oversized dining room and an expansive cook’s kitchen with a 5-burner propane range with convection oven, abundant storage, and a brand-new dishwasher. Picture windows frame views of the channel and Mt. Roberts. The home has a 4-Star energy rating and is fully smart-equipped, with security cameras and Google Home control, so you can start the pellet stove or appliances on your way home. A new washer and dryer are among the recent updates. The main bedroom consists of brand new carpet, two closets and opens to a wrap around deck and a small fenced area suited to dogs. The apartment has its own entrance, full bathroom, and separate utility room. Both residences offer single-level living. Mature gardens and a raspberry patch surround the home, which sits steps from the Treadwell Ditch and Gastineau Meadows trail system into the Tongass. This property is just 0.2 miles to downtown Douglas and 0.7 to Sandy Beach. Set against the Tongass National Forest in back and the Gastineau Channel out front, it’s a rare mix of privacy, history, outdoor access, and income. Call to schedule a private showing today!
