Description
Have you wanted a rustic cabin in Girdwood and not been able to afford the escalating prices? Now is your chance to buy a ''Swiss Family Robinson'' treehouse 15 minutes from the base of Alyeska with rare Bird Creek frontage allowing a daily kayak trip out your front door. This home does not meet safety codes and is being sold ''AS IS WHERE IS''. Prepare for projects!The sewer system is a holding tank requiring regular pumping. Seller will not provide a COSA. Part of a 21 acre co-op hidden in the forests of the Chugach Range this unique & quirky partial log home promises cozy winters and daily adventures for kids and adults alike. CAREFULLY clamber up the real tree house, follow the stone path to the creek with eddy's calm enough for child's play and whitewater exciting enough for the accomplished kayaker. A bridge to the Bird Creek island takes you to your firepit for roasting marshmallows or hotdogs on a cold winter night or warm summer evening. The kooky cabin itself offers kitchen cabinets custom made by the owner/artist with gas stove, stainless dishwasher & refrigerator. One bath features a jetted tub. Granite slabs and interesting stone & tile designs throughout accent the home. House is heated by gas-fired Toyo stoves. The Vermont Castings wood stove is a decorative element only. Originally built as a duplex, the wiring & plumbing is still in the wall if income potential is of interest. The stairway railings do not meet current safety codes. The home is being sold "AS IS, WHERE IS". This property is part of a co-operative which shares a 20 plus acre parcel. If you are looking for a typical house built to code this is not for you. If the world of Hobbits and fairies intrigues you, then come home to 178 Water Ouzel Drive in Bird Creek, Alaska..
