We'll leave the lights on for ya!This charming home sits next door to Tom Bodett's former residence--yes, the voice behind the iconic Motel 6 commercials. It's said this is where he penned his famed radio transcripts, adding a touch of Alaskan folklore to the property's rich history.Thoughtfully updated while maintaining its classic appeal, the home features a new roof, new deck, and a refreshed bathroom. The top floor offers a light-filled, open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area with unmatched 180° views of Kachemak Bay, the mountains, and the Homer Spit - it feels so close, you might even spot the daily special at your favorite Spit restaurant. A cozy den off the main living space provides room to spread out. Also on this level: the laundry room, one full bath, and two bedrooms. The middle floor features three more bedrooms, an additional living area, and updated bathroom, perfect for guests or a growing household. The lower floor houses a garage and plenty of extra storage. Lovingly maintained, full of history, and ready for its next chapter, this home is waiting to welcome its next family to make lasting memories right here in Homer.
