This incredible recently completed custom home has it all: a breath-taking view of the Alaska Range from a south facing hillside with extreme temperature inversion, high energy efficiency, artisan craftsmanship, stunning beauty and Alaskan character. Come look at your dream house by contacting us a felixsilkealaska@gmail.com or calling 457 2772. We (2 civil engineers) planned and built our dream house over thousands of hours and never wanted to sell it. Over the last years we have been basking in the amazement of others when they came to visit us. It was always meant to be special and unique, no matter how much effort it took. This is NOT a cookie-cutter house! If you are looking for just “a house” please look somewhere else. This efficiently designed three-level house features a two car garage/workshop at ground level. The first floor boasts a sunlight-flooded open-concept living area with custom wood work - perfect for entertaining guests or having a cozy family time. There is also a guest suite/mother in law apartment with large bedroom and bathroom on this main level. The upstairs features three bedrooms and a bathroom with bathtub. Enjoy your morning coffee lying in bed while marveling at a stunning view of the sunrise over the Alaska Range. Enjoy the beauty of Alaska’s wilderness and the integrated flower beds while relaxing on the large sunny deck, or have a bonfire with your friends in the fire pit next to the house while gazing at the Alaska Range. Do you like gardening? A large fenced-in garden is waiting for you to plant your favorite veggies. Do you have Alaskan toys such as snow machines, ATVs, an RV, boats, a dozer? The large carport offers plenty of space for them. Additionally, there is a huge woodshed and a storage shed on hand. The spacious 4.3 acre wooded property offers privacy, serenity and tranquility while being only 10 miles from UAF. The lot is on a family-friendly very low traffic cul-de-sac road. Go hiking and snowshoeing on trails starting right at your doorstep or downhill skiing at the nearby Moose Mountain ski area. The view from the property is gorgeous and pristine (Alaska Range, two lakes and no light pollution from other houses). Being at more than 1,200 feet of altitude, it is well above the ice fog and benefits from a +30 degrees of temperature inversion in the winter. Combined with south-facing exposure and high solar gain, this home is the ideal place to withstand the winter blues in front of a cozy wood stove in the center. The builder of this three-level house had five main goals in mind: high energy efficiency, coziness and charm, low maintenance, optimal space utilization (no wasted areas, no dead corners and lots of warm storage space), and as “Alaskan” as practical. The result is a well weather-sealed house, built with a 3-layered insulation system in the walls (R-value of 33, 5+ star energy rating) and a vented roof with an R-value of approximately 60. The house sits on a two-car garage with full-height foam-insulated 12 inches thick concrete walls that is connected to the upper floor with a spiral staircase.
