New!! Walking distance to Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop! Cozy mother-in-law apartment in a safe, desirable downtown neighborhood. This studio apartment is open concept with a fully equipped kitchen, separate bathroom and shower and a washer and dryer. This tastefully updated 1950's home is a quick walking trip to many sights in Anchorage including Chester Creek Trail, which connects to the Coastal Trail and popular Westchester Lagoon. Cozy mother-in-law apartment in safe, desirable downtown "South Addition" neighborhood. This studio apartment is open concept with a separate bathroom and shower, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer in unit and private patio! Furnished with a modern murphy bed, large Ikea wardrobe, kitchen island/table/workspace and couch - you will feel right at home! Ample storage in the wardrobe for your belongings and plenty of space to relax. You have a completely private entrance - there are no doors or hallways leading into the main house from the apartment. The private entrance steps directly into the apartment so you are truly in your own space! Private patio space for your enjoyment after a day exploring Anchorage or the surrounding areas. Relax with a bottle of wine and enjoy the midnight sun as you sit around the fire-pit and plan your next adventure! Private, off street, parking available for 1 car in a shared 3 car driveway. Additional street parking is available and free. Adorable South Addition neighborhood was originally designed for military families prior to the Alaska statehood days and quickly became a sought after housing destination as Anchorage continued to grow. It is one of the most desirable areas to live in Anchorage! Amazing Fire Island Bakery is 2 blocks from the apartment as well as New Sagaya City Market for any groceries you may need. Take a walk downtown to explore, visit the local Saturday Market or watch the large kites soaring on the Delaney Park Strip (5 short blocks). The famous Coastal Trail is a destination as well without needing a vehicle! Hop right onto the Chester Creek Trail just down the street and wind your way around beautiful Westchester Lagoon which then connects directly with the Coastal Trail. Renting a bike would be great for this as well! Close to everything you need to explore historic downtown Anchorage, museums, restaurants and the vast array of outdoor activities. Or, hop right on the road and take a day trip to Girdwood (30-40 minute drive depending on traffic)! Visit this sleepy ski haven in the winter for world class skiing, or in the Spring/Summer/Fall for an abundance of hiking, mountain biking & wildlife viewing. Be sure to keep an eye out for Beluga whales and Dall sheep as you drive along Turnagain Arm! You don't have to travel outside of downtown to enjoy wildlife sightings though - moose walking the streets of downtown Anchorage, eagles soaring low through the city and even the occasional black bear (though less common) are a common occurrence. Downtown Anchorage is an urban setting. The speed limit throughout all of downtown Anchorage is 35 mph and some traffic/street noise can be heard during normal commute times. If you are looking for round the clock silence, I would recommend finding a rental in the "Hillside" area of Anchorage (15-25 minutes from downtown depending on location and traffic). Guests will have access to the entire apartment - this is a private unit. We live 2 miles away and are happy to introduce ourselves to you during your stay and provide any suggestions you may need. We will remain out of your hair unless a request is made otherwise :). Downtown Anchorage "South Addition" neighborhood is desirable, safe and quiet. Close to trails, markets, parks, restaurants and bakeries. The heart of historic downtown Anchorage is an easy walk or ride away. Downtown is within walking distance, however a vehicle is recommended for other travel.
