Acre on the Bluff
Old Turnagain
$439,000
2655 Marston Drive
(Past Listing, for illustrative purposes only)
It's not often one has the opportunity to purchase one of Anchorage's signature
properties on the bluff on Old Turnagain. The lot directly faces Cook Inlet and contains
over an acre and a quarter. The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is at the north border.
Well-known neighbors are on each side, including the Swalling, Hickel and Rasmussen
families.
The original home at this site was destroyed in the 1964 earthquake. Dr. Martin sold
the ground after it was cleared to his son, John, owner of Martin Marine. John rebuilt in
1979, with an earthquake-engineered foundation of solid poured concrete with
double-reinforced rebar.
This is a Hillside ranch design of over 3000 square feet of living area. The solid bank
of windows faces the view across the living room and master bedroom. Nothing obstructs
this vista. The home is redwood sided for attractive curb appeal. The floor plan is
timeless, with generous room sizes for family living and entertaining.
This is the first and only time this home has been offered by this lifelong Anchorage
family.
