Description

Nestled on the edge of Anchorage, this enchanting cottage offers a rare blend of historic character, timeless charm, and everyday comfort. Originally constructed in 1926, the home’s earliest portion is believed to have served as a cook’s cottage for a larger Anchorage estate, lending a unique sense of history and story that is seldom found today. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone for the warmth and character found throughout. Inside, the original cottage has been thoughtfully expanded over the years, creating a home for modern livability. Hardwood floors, crown molding, French doors, fireplaces, and abundant natural light contribute to the home’s inviting atmosphere. The great room serves as the heart of the home, featuring vaulted ceilings, a skylight, expansive windows, and a cozy fireplace. The spacious kitchen offers generous cabinetry, ample workspace, a center island, and an adjoining breakfast nook for casual dining. A formal dining room provides the perfect setting for gatherings and special occasions, while French doors open to a screened porch overlooking the private backyard. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a fireplace, dual closets, and an en-suite bath. Additional living spaces include a second bedroom, a comfortable den, a flexible room currently utilized as a bedroom, a second full bath, and a laundry room with storage. Outside, the expansive fenced yard feels like a private park. Mature trees create a setting that is both peaceful and picturesque. The screened porch offers the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and unwind in the evening. An oversized two-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, hobbies, and storage. This one-of-a-kind property is a rare opportunity, offering the feel of Anchorage living without Anchorage city taxes in a timeless home to be treasured for years to come.
