3610 E 65th Ave, Anchorage, AK 99507

A meticulously maintained two-bedroom, one-bath bungalow on Anchorage's south side -- 728 square feet, efficiently laid out and cared for down to the detail. Well suited to a first purchase, a downsize, or a lock-and-leave winter home or summer home.The current owner has updated it carefully and completely: new LVP flooring, trim, and paint, a new pantry cabinet and built-in dining table, refinished countertops, a new bathroom vanity, and a new refrigerator and dishwasher. A built-in woodstove adds real warmth on cold evenings and takes measurable pressure off winter heating costs, and the furnace and water heater were just replaced. Outside, the fully fenced, south-facing yard is private and planted with flowers and mature trees, with two large sheds carrying the storage a home this size would otherwise ask of its closets. Roof and driveway were replaced in 2019. Perhaps best of all, this home sits just 4 blocks from the Smokejumper Trailhead and the Bicentennial Park trail system, and just down the road from Abbot Loop Community Park. Midtown, the university, and the hospital district are each a short drive. Offered as a Certified Pre-Owned home -- pre-listing inspection available for buyer review, repairs completed in advance, and professional cleaning done -- so a buyer can write with confidence rather than guesswork.
