Uniquely Alaskan! located 20 minutes from Anchorage in the mountains of Eagle River with the Chugiak State Park trailhead just minutes away; offering year-round hiking and, and cross-country skiing. This 5 bed 3bath open concept has a lodge like feel. It sits on a acre plus, surrounded by mountains, while overlooking the south fork of Eagle River, nature is literally knocking at your door. The open concept main floorplan offers a vaulted ceiling, expansive living, huge kitchen and dining areas, with large picture windows perfect for abundant close-up wildlife viewing! The sizeable kitchen includes quartz countertops & breakfast bar with plenty of counterspace, storage and Jenn Air Stovetop with burners and indoor grill. One end of the main floor boasts the large master suite with private deck and ensuite, hosting an oversized Jacuzzi with small office, bedroom, (or nursery!) next door. The opposite side of the main floor you'll find another good-sized bedroom, full bathroom and an intimate exercise room, which could easily be transformed back into another bedroom. The laundry room and pantry round out the main floor. Upstairs hosts even more amazing mountainous and river views - something from every window, including excellent aurora viewing mid-August - March! The great sized family room, two large bedrooms with mirrored closet doors and oversized bathroom with extra-long Jacuzzi crowns this well cared for house. Outdoors, the detached 2-car garage includes plenty of space for storage and a great work bench including built in electrical outlets. There is also a shed (or playhouse) off the back of the garage. On the opposite side of the house, the private 500sf back deck is the perfect summer hangout; surrounded by mountains, with sounds of nature and the rushing river below. An added bonus of an authentic Alaskan outdoor wood-burning sauna is just steps away. (The sauna stove pipe was damaged in the 2018 earthquake but has not been fixed/used since.)
