Perched on a breathtaking flat two-acre homesite, this extraordinary custom timber frame residence captures unobstructed panoramic views of Cook Inlet, the Chugach Mountains, and sparkling city lights. Thoughtfully designed to showcase its spectacular surroundings, every room enjoys a stunning view. The heart of the home features a chef-inspired kitchen with rich cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, two pantries, and generous workspace, flowing seamlessly into the spacious dining area and dramatic great room where soaring timber beams and two stories of windows frame Alaska's incredible landscape. A dedicated office provides an ideal work-from-home space while taking full advantage of the home's spectacular setting. A standout feature is the beautifully appointed addition above the garage, expertly built by Willowridge Construction. Complete with its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and custom fireplace, it offers luxurious accommodations as a family room or a MIL for guests. Step outside to the expansive Ipe hardwood deck that wraps around the rear of the home, creating exceptional indoor-outdoor living and the perfect setting to entertain or simply enjoy the ever-changing sunsets over the inlet. Upstairs, the primary suite is a private retreat with its own deck, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub. Convenient upstairs laundry is located alongside the bedrooms, each thoughtfully positioned to capture the home's remarkable vistas. The walk-out lower level offers incredible potential with a finished bedroom and bunk room, plus roughed-in spaces for a media room, bathroom, and kitchen--ready to become the ultimate entertainment level, guest quarters, or additional living space. Completing the property is an oversized garage with room for a workshop, along with an expansive driveway offering abundant parking for guests, RVs, boats, and recreational vehicles. Combining timeless timber frame craftsmanship, unmatched views, and endless possibilities, this is a truly exceptional Alaska luxury home.
