This architecturally significant home is nestled on 3.5 acres of pristine forestland directly bordering Chugach State Park and offers an unparalleled sense of serenity. Perched atop a knoll this estate captures uninterrupted, panoramic views stretching from the majestic silhouette of Sleeping Lady, the shimmering waters of Cook Inlet to the tops of the Chugach Range. The beautiful finishes offer muted luxury. The stunning floor to ceiling window walls open to a expansive aggregate patio surrounded by artful arrangements of perennial plants with stepping stones forming a winding path around the home at the base of the magnificent Chugach Mountains. Wide-planked re-cycled vintage engineered oak flooring, stunning bluestone floors, custom stone tile work in the baths, the plastered fireplace with bits of ash from the 1990's volcanic eruption of Mt. Spurr all contribute to the special sense of place this home embodies.
