Beautiful, quality-built 2-bedroom, 1-bath home less than 4 miles from downtown Talkeetna and only 500 yards from Christiansen Lake. Park your floatplane at the lake and walk home. Enjoy the lake's beach, dock, picnic areas and BBQ spots without having to drive there. Nearby recreation includes kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, swimming, biking, skiing and hiking along the Talkeetna Lakes Trails. The property has seen an extensive list of updates, including beautiful landscaping and an immaculate lawn that creates a natural fire barrier while still preserving a healthy forest buffer around the home. An upgraded gravel driveway provides convenient access and adds to the property's curb appeal, along with additional parking for an RV or extra vehicle. Exterior improvements include fresh paint, custom shutters, and skirting around the home. Inside, the home offers a spacious, open floor plan with warm, welcoming natural wood-plank walls and ceilings, along with in-floor heat in the bathroom. An additional storage room provides flexible space that could be used as a large pantry or a small home office. The property also features a well and septic system, underground electrical service, a covered front porch, and stainless-steel kitchen appliances. The 2-acre parcel is adjacent to Matanuska-Susitna Borough land along its eastern property line, adding to the privacy and recreational appeal. The home may be sold furnished with an acceptable offer.
