How to Get There

Here's a great way to live in the country and enjoy all the comforts of city living. With gas heat and public utilities, this Girdwood home is in the heart of Alaska's biggest ski resort. At the same time, it's a shorter drive to town than people who make the commute from the Mat-Su Valley.

The home was brought back to life after hard use in the 1980's. Purchased from the state of Alaska out of foreclosure, contractor repairs were accompanied by state-backed warranties. Since then the owner has made significant improvements, including a new triple-membrane asphalt built-up roof and a hot water heating system that runs off the furnace boiler, for continuous hot water for the hot tub users.

The home can be said to have good "bones". Solid post-and-beam 2x6 construction sets it apart from much of Girdwood construction practices. Solid and well-maintained cedar siding graces the entire exterior. This form of construction lends itself to a great-room concept, much in demand here. With over 3000 sq.ft. of living area there's room enough for everyone. And, the home has one of the few landscaped yards in Girdwood.

Virgin Creek is across the street, with public access and a foot bridge to hiking trails just down Timberline Drive. It bubbles brightly all year, even in winter when a quiet blanket of snow covers everything.
