This majestic, Colonial-style home is like an open canvas, awaiting your modifications. Included in the asking price are newer appliances, the natural gas range/oven being the most recent addition in May of this year. Mostly remodeled, walls and ceilings are smooth-wall with recessed lighting in the kitchen and living rooms downstairs. Recently painted interior with low-pile industrial carpeting throughout most of the home. Although this house shows some wear and tear, it has been well maintained; it would be perfect for someone seeking a place to remodel to their specifications. Plenty of double-paned thermal windows let in a generous amount of natural light year-round, with a solarium/plant room that looks out onto the fenced front lawn. There are three bedrooms upstairs in addition to the master bedroom. The master bedroom is 400 sq. ft. with its own dressing room and extensive closet space; the master bath includes a cedar tongue-and-groove sauna. Attached to the master bedroom is a sizable office with a commanding view of the residential street below. From the master bedroom, you can step out onto a private balcony, which overlooks the 1,488 sq. ft. shop, fenced back yard, and concrete driveway. The shop interior is quite open, with little space consumed by cabinets or permanent fixtures - perfect for the avid craftsperson or mechanic, or even as a potential mother-in-law apartment! The shop has its own 1/4 bath, large mezzanine, office, and a brand new large Navien on-demand water heater. Behind the shop is a 12' by 16' wooden shed with a porch and ramp for additional storage. There is an attached garage that is currently used as a workshop/mudroom, but it could easily be converted back to indoor parking. The roof of the house was redone within the last ten years and remains in excellent condition; new seamless gutters run the length of the structure. The attic has been re-insulated with blown-in wool insulation. The home utilizes baseboard heat via a Weil-McClain boiler and new indirectly-fired water heater. The neighborhood surrounding the home is quaint and quirky with wonderful neighbors. Anchorage Int'l Airport is literally minutes away, and multiple parks and bike trails surround the area. All but a few houses are owned rather than rented, and the Fiori D'Italia restaurant is less than a stone's throw away. This area of Spenard is rapidly changing, with new restaurants, new businesses, and new growth - don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind property! Photos to come very soon!
