Opportunity awaits at 281 Gold Claim Avenue! This expansive 4,000+ sq ft multi-level home sits on a generous corner lot on the Fairbanks hillside and offers incredible potential for investment or multi-generational living. Currently configured as a duplex, the upper level features vaulted ceilings, a spacious kitchen, multiple living areas, and 3 bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms, including a large primary suite. Just a level down, a separate bonus room with its own entrance and full bath provides a prime opportunity for a third rental unit, guest space, or home office. The lower level hosts a second 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with a private entrance—perfect for additional rental income or extended family. Outside, you’ll find a beautiful yard, pull-through driveway, plenty of parking and a detached two-car garage with an attached workshop, offering ample space for vehicles, tools, and Alaskan toys. This home is fully livable as-is but could truly shine with a little TLC. Whether you’re an investor, a large family, or someone ready to build equity, this unique property is bursting with potential. Don’t miss out!
