2030 Tribulation Trl, Fairbanks, AK 99709

Nestled in old growth forest just 15 minutes from town lies the 2 ½ acre property known as “Riverglimpse,” so named because of its unique setting. Begun in 1980, this 3 bedroom / 3 bath home has evolved and grown over the years. The pictures tell the story of the property, but it must be visited to fully experience what it has become: a welcoming, peaceful and beautiful home full of handcrafted finish work. Each room is custom in its design and flows smoothly into the adjoining areas of the house. Wool carpets cover the floors of the main living areas. There is an attached greenhouse, a large screen room on the deck, an upper deck connected to a bridge which acts as an emergency exit from the 2nd floor, especially nice for getting furniture up to the second level. The basement contains a grow room with a timed LED grow light system. A craft loft situated overlooking the master bedroom is accessed by a unique alternating tread stairway. Riverglimpse is surrounded by one of the most celebrated gardens in Fairbanks, filled with an extensive array of flowers, shrubs, and trees. Annual garden parties have taken place here for 35+ years bringing hundreds of friends and visitors from around the world to the property. Abundant windows provide captivating wildlife and garden viewing, while surrounding woodlands assure privacy. Exterior lighting makes your world larger in winter while a woodstove keeps you warm, and a woodshed protects your firewood. Foot-thick double walls and 2-foot-thick ceilings, solar panels and HRV bring energy savings to your budget. Additionally, situated above the garage there is a separate apartment (mother-in-law? rental? private guest space?), almost 1000 sf, 1 bedroom, 1 bath and bonus room, with its own deck overlooking the gardens. It has separate entrances either through its own front door or the large two-car garage (nice in winter and room for a shop). Much of the home’s unique art and furnishings will remain with the home. 3D tour link: https://bit.ly/4a8svVs
