There is simply no other feeling like coming home to your Alaskan log cabin in the middle of 24 entire acres. Well, maybe there is – the feeling of only being 12 minutes away from the University of Alaska and coming home to your Alaskan log cabin! To find this much acreage this close to town is rare indeed and 3891 Old Nenana Highway hasn’t changed hands for over 50 years. The owner and builder started the house in 1971 and while admittedly there is plenty of the original fit and finish to love or remodel, the bones are good. The lower level functions as the basement and garage but also has a work space, a finished room that makes for a nice den and a full bathroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a bathroom, the large kitchen and a vaulted ceiling above the dining and living rooms. Choose to hang out in the living room gazing out the large windows at the deck or simply go outside and really enjoy the privacy and solitude of the huge lot from the deck. This is an estate sale and the property is being offered in its current condition. The disclosures were filled out to the best off the ability of the PR but we also included a waiver of the disclosures as an acknowledgement that there are gaps in knowledge that passed with the owner. There is a very current Tim Henry home inspection on file.
