Close your eyes and imagine the sounds of friends and family gathering, hear the laughter and stories told while the smells of the backyard BBQ waft around the patio, the deck and the landscape. Perhaps a smaller gathering with gooey toasted marshmallows, graham crackers and melty chocolate is more your style. You can have these or there is even plenty of room for a private wedding. Yes, there is a LOT of dedicated outdoor space where you can let your imagination take flight!

The views are what will keep the attention of whomever chooses to look outside. Mesmerizing, captivating and constantly changing views of the wildlife and seasons. Watch as the Chugach Mountain Range turns from green to yellow, to the hard-to-describe blue/purple tinted mountains, and then to the glorious white of winter.

Both sunrises and sunsets seen from the home are truly spectacular with the sky full of colors. Pink, orange, red and yellow are colors of most of the year as far as sunrise and sunsets. BUT, when the Northern Lights are out, you have the occasion to see the skies shift to the flowing neon greens. Really. even from the inside.

The dedication to constant updates and improvements are evident throughout the home and the property.

Suitcase wall-if you have not looked at the pictures STOP right now and look. ALL the cases are useable! Each can be pulled out from the wall and used. Each case, each hatbox and each trunk can ALL be used. How FUN is this wall?!

Even the mud room off the garage has been reworked to be useable but still be a design element. The doors were also built for the room and quietly hide the storage space behind them. The closet to the left is set up as a gift wrap station. Have you seen this before?

The 'outhouse' bathroom. This is one of the most talked about rooms-a favorite amongst guests. The unexpected, interior designer quality, cannot believe your eyes, without a doubt one of a kind, outhouse themed bathroom. High tank, pull chain toilet, antique clawfoot tub with shower and matching shower ring (for wraparound shower curtain), under the curved edge of the tub lighting, consciously weathered corrugated metal ceiling treatment with accent lighting. The lantern lights are finishing touches but, when you close the door, the interior side of the door even matches the theme! From the hallway, you may never know what the inside looks like. That is what makes the whimsical room a standout.
