Bayshore remodel - 5 BR, 3.5 BA, 3 FP, 2.5 CAR GR, 3600 SF

Remodeled with five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, three fire places, two dining rooms, one large family room, large kitchen, and an over sized two-car garage. It was built in 1979 when bedrooms and building lots were big, exterior walls were 2x6 construction, and no two houses looked alike.

The living room, formal and casual dining rooms, laundry facilities and a restroom are downstairs. While the bedrooms, three more bathrooms and the family room are upstairs. The living room, family room and master bedroom have fireplaces. The family room was designed to be a mother'-in-law apartment and so has its own thermostat, fireplace, bathroom, and wet bar. The livingroom and formal dining room have 2x6 tongue and groove plank flooring while the rest of the downstairs is floored with imported satillo tile. The upstairs is fully carpeted except for the tiled bathrooms.

The house has three-zone hot water baseboard heating, two big hot water heaters, hookups for a gas or electric dryer, a large deck off the casual dining room, and a private balcony off the master bedroom. The kitchen is bigger than most with loads of counter space, cupboards, and cabinets.

The lot backs to green belt which provides walkng access to Cook Inlet. It is a well treed 11,000 square foot lot with established lawns, and rose, peonie and perennial gardens.

This is a very comfortable family home with lots of natural light, located in a great neighborhood, a short walk from Bayshore Elementary and Mears Middle school. The bus for Dimond High stops at a near corner. Bayshore is a terrific place for children with lots of maintained green belts, a community park and a private community clubhouse with a pre-school, tennis courts, a heated indoor swimming pool, a large Jacuzzi hot tub, an exercise room, locker/shower rooms, and terrific party facilities.

The home is located on the corner of a dead-end street and a cul de sac, just across the cul de sac from Cook Inlet. It's been our home for almost 30 years and we've taken really good care of it, but the last of our children recently graduated from college and we just kind of rattle around in its 3,600 square foot of living area.

Compared to other homes available at $125 per square foot, this is an excellent opportunity. We will consider a trade for 3 BR, 3 BA ranch.
