The front door opens onto a long living room with multiple spaces for lounging or entertaining, and a lovely fireplace surrounded by stone tiles. Everywhere you see are custom details that perfectly suit the home's identity - wood strips on the ceiling, metal paneling on an interior wall that adds a bit of whimsy and references the simple, hard-wearing construction of rural Alaska. Up a short step is the open kitchen, where the woodstove, in true Alaskan style, is the heart of the home (and heats the entire home easily, along with the Toyo). There's a built-in table extending from the bar - a creative solution for both kitchen/bar hangout time and a large family meal or dinner party. The gas range and double ovens make it easy to cook for a crowd! The primary bedroom and bathroom (currently lofted and open to the rest of the space, but possible to add a wall and close off) are upstairs from the kitchen, creating a private sanctuary with tons of creative storage and custom details. There's even a soaking tub, tucked in a private corner behind a half-wall - the ultimate spa-level luxury. Back downstairs, there's a cozy den or office space that can double as a bedroom, with a lofted queen bed space, and a full spare bedroom, as well as another bathroom. And outside, a lovingly appointed dry cabin houses two more bedrooms, steps away from the front door. The 900 sq ft garage, sized for a boat or small RV, is ready for toys and tools. The backyard is ready for fun, with a paved walkway, firepit, and best of all, a beautiful wood-fired sauna! The location of this home is perhaps it's greatest strength. It's literally steps from Deshka Landing, the closest to Anchorage (1 hr 25 min) of the three Susitna River public boat launches. For people who love fishing, it's a dream! For hunting and outdoor access, the entire wild west side of the Susitna is yours to enjoy. It's the best combination of wilderness access and practical accessibility that you could ask for. As a vacation home, the house is easily winterized if needed, or maintained heated with the Toyo stove - and unlike most of the isolated homes in Mat-Su, there are neighbors to help with security, power and heat in a storm, etc. You won't find much like this here in Alaska - the level of custom detail and construction quality are well beyond the norms in our market.
