Description

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the heart of Old Turnagain, this completely remodeled ranch pairs timeless Prairie Home character w/a thoughtfully executed addition. Set on a spacious private, fenced lot w/paver patio & mature landscaping, the home is framed by exposed aggregate walkways & driveway that set a polished tone from the moment you arrive. The welcoming covered front porch with rock- accented wood columns opens into a stone-floored foyer. South-facing bay windows flood the inviting living room with natural light, creating a warm & welcoming place to gather by the beautiful direct vent fireplace with mantel. Just beyond, the galley kitchen is a study in craftsmanship: custom cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, a Viking gas range & a custom built-in sliding pantry that keeps everything beautifully within reach.

A showpiece of the addition is the dining room, where vaulted ceilings create a true sense of occasion. The Butler's pantry adjacent opens into the dining room and features additional wall ovens and expansive counters extending the kitchen's capability for serious cooks and effortless entertaining. The custom-built dining table & matching credenza, by Hunt & Gather in Portland, with seating for ten by Restoration Hardware, are included, with a custom handblown glass chandelier, making this room ready for holiday feasts and dinner parties from day one.

The 2006 addition also includes a spacious primary suite, a private sanctuary with built-in display cases and offering direct access to the backyard patio. The elegant ensuite bath features a large travertine shower, a bubble jet free-standing bath and lovely cabinetry that includes a sit down vanity. The generous walk-in closet is outfitted with California Closets and an in-floor built in safe.

An intimate study off the entry is the perfect place for a quiet conversation or diving into a good book. Two additional bedrooms on the main floor include one with an ensuite bath and a second with built-in Murphy bed.

The finished day-light basement expands the living space with a family room featuring a built-in flat screen TV, custom built-in cherry cabinetry, a bedroom with walk-out access, bath, a bonus room that can be used for multiple tasks, abundant storage, and an additional washer/dryer adding everyday convenience.

Old Turnagain is one of Anchorage's most cherished neighborhoods, and this cul-de-sac location offers rare privacy, sunny exposure, and a fully fenced lot, all in a setting that is hard to replicate. This is a home where every detail has been considered. Come home to 3717 Knik Avenue....
