Please be sure to watch the interior drone video for a full walk-through tour of this exquisite home. Welcome to the City of Anchorage's premier subdivision, Anchorage Woods! This is a unique offering, as homes in this neighborhood do not come on the market often. This lovely Blacketer-built 2 story walkout home is on a large .91-acre corner lot, and just down the street from the Anchorage Public School (K-8), the Anchorage Trail, and city center. The home has 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, dual staircases (front and rear), and a 3-car attached garage. Other features include a fixed ''whole-house'' generator, an irrigation system, a circle drive, central vacuum system, security system, Pella windows throughout (w/warranty), newer roof (2019) multiple lightning rods, newer dual HVAC's, (2017 and 2018) and two Trex decks; one of which has a screened area.
As you walk up the brick paver steps to the front door and enter the foyer, you will notice the gorgeous inlaid hardwood flooring, the stencil detailing on the walls, crown molding, and the turned staircase, with beautifully crafted wrought iron spindles. To your right you will find the comfortable "conversation room", also known as the formal living room, appointed with crown moldings, tall ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. Pocket doors lend privacy to this space, making it a cozy retreat for morning coffee and a book, or after dinner drinks with friends. The center hallway and powder room have hardwood flooring, in addition to the spacious formal dining room, located to the left of the foyer. The dining room is generously sized for a large table and chairs and is also graced with floor to ceiling windows for lots of light. Through the dining room you will see the kitchen, featuring white cabinetry, granite counters, a large pantry, a planning desk and stainless-steel appliances, including a trash compactor and double wall ovens. A 4-burner vented gas cooktop is built into the center island, above which hangs a gorgeous chandelier. Adjacent to the cooktop you will find cutouts in the granite that serve as clever storage for knives. Moving to the breakfast area, you will see the hand-crafted stained-glass transom windows on all 3 sides. From the breakfast table you can enjoy 180-degree views of the private backyard. The ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen and upstairs baths have had specialized "MicroGuard" coating applied to them, for ease of cleaning, increased foot traction and mold growth resistance. As you walk through the kitchen to the great room, there is a thoughtfully placed wet bar to your right, with a handsome black marble top and glass-front cabinetry to showcase your barware. It also offers the conveniences of a small sink, dedicated ice maker, a large beverage fridge, and even a place to store wine bottles and stemware. The big reveal comes next, when you cast your gaze upward to the beautifully crafted coffered ceiling of the great room. The woodwork is truly stunning and is complemented by a cozy gas fireplace for cold winter nights, as you watch the snow fall from the comfort of your sofa. Beautiful built-in shelving graces both sides of the gas fireplace. The black marble fireplace hearth matches that of the bar countertop. On the opposite side of the kitchen is the enormous laundry/mud room. It has a bench seat beneath the windows with upholstered cushions and storage below. There is a laundry sink and two walls of additional cabinets for storage and hanging rods. To the right of the windows is the special "holiday light switch" which is connected to 9 front windows, for ease of turning on your wreath lights using just one switch! Through the laundry room you can access the attached 3 car garage as well as the rear staircase. As you walk upstairs, you will find the primary bedroom suite, 3 additional bedrooms, a full bathroom in the hallway next to the linen closet and a Jack and Jill bathroom that is shared between two of the rooms. The massive primary suite has impressive woodwork on all sides of the vaulted ceiling. Marble topped dual sinks are located on opposite sides of the primary bathroom. Additionally, there is a vanity area and a soaker tub, also topped with marble, a tiled separate shower and a dedicated commode room. The walk-in closet is the size of another room, with a huge center island for even more storage. It also has a large window for natural light. All the upstairs closets are walk-ins, except for in the guest bedroom. All closet shelving in this home is wooden (not coated wire shelving). Moving down to the basement level, you will find a huge guest space, including a family room. The basement family room offers an amazing ventless fireplace with a blower that keeps you nice and warm on movie nights! The fireplace also has a bench seat and is flanked by built-in shelving. There is plenty of space for fitness equipment or a playroom, plus 3 large closets offer even more storage as well as the unfinished basement area. Lastly, there is a very large 5th bedroom with a walk-in closet, huge windows and a double tray ceiling. It currently serves as an office and has a full attached bathroom. As you walk out the basement doors to the large, private backyard, there is a nice paver patio which is shaded by the deck above. Anchorage Woods is a fabulous neighborhood with a true sense of community. Come see what this lovely well-built residence has to offer.
