A door opens to a covered balcony - perfect for morning coffee or soaking in the view.Outside, a spacious deck leads to a lower terrace and a grassy area with a fire pit, perfect for enjoying Alaskan evenings by the water. A raised walkway connects the home to a large woodshed with a hydraulic wood splitter and trolley, helping to make heating easier and more efficient. Another covered path leads up to the shop with a 2-bedroom apartment above. A double garage provides covered parking and more storage, with extra parking along the generous driveway. Follow another raised walkway to the dock, complete with a permanent float and fish-cleaning station. It's a home-style floating dock, and can be pulled onto the beach for winter protection. Three full greenhouses, plus several smaller ones, make year-round gardening a joy. With high beds, good sun exposure, and a sheltered south/ southwestern facing setting, this property is a gardener or homesteader's dream. There's even a luxury henhouse so you can enjoy fresh, free-ranged eggs by the ocean. The property is on town power and also has two backup generators housed in a dedicated generator room, along with multiple water tanks providing about 7,000 gallons of rainwater storage and a well for even more supply.

Tools such as a planer, sander, drill press, and chop saw are also included, almost everything you need to step straight into your Alaskan lifestyle.
