Built on a 7 acre lakeside lot in Wasilla, Alaska, this property features its own landing strip, hangar, guest cottage and main house. This 3,300 sf home was designed to take advantage of the northerly view of the Talkeetna mountains over the lake, and also to maximize the solar gain on the south side of the house. The home features 3 bedrooms, his-and hers-offices, and an open plan living/dining with gourmet kitchen, plus an oversized 3-car garage with storage attic. Built to withstand extreme weather, the shell consists of super-insulated roofs, double-stud walls, triple-glazed vinyl windows, energy-efficient in-floor radiant heating and cement-board siding and stone finishes.
The 700 sf guest cottage is attached to the 1450 sf hangar. Featuring 2 bedrooms, and an open kitchen/living/dining area, it was built prior to the main house to provide on-site housing for the owner’s family.
