Serene Retreat for Active Empty Nesters – Spacious Home with Oversized Garage on Picturesque Lot. Discover the ideal blend of comfort, functionality, and outdoor living in this thoughtfully designed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home tucked away on a scenic lot off of Farmers Loop. Perfect for active empty nesters looking to downsize without sacrificing space for hobbies, guests, and adventure. The foundation is a combination: the main part of the house is concrete block, while the garage is slab on grade, so the area above the garage includes the owner’s bedroom and bathroom. This well-maintained home offers plenty of storage, so you can stay organized while enjoying a clutter-free lifestyle. The flexible layout features comfortable living spaces and multiple decks for quiet mornings with coffee or evenings spent enjoying Alaska’s natural beauty. One of the standout features is the oversized 4-car garage—a dream for those with toys, tools, or outdoor gear. There's also a greenhouse and storage shed, ideal for gardening, DIY projects, or simply keeping everything in its place. With abundant parking, there's room for RVs, trailers, or guests to visit with ease. Low-maintenance, private, and set in a peaceful location just minutes from town, this home offers a balanced lifestyle: space to host the grandkids, pursue your passions, and lock-and-leave convenience for travel.
