From the moment you enter this unique south-facing waterfront estate, you are immediately immersed in the natural beauty of Southeast Alaska. Spanning 3,213 sq. ft. of total living area, the property is thoughtfully configured to include a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom main residence alongside an updated 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom accessory apartment. The interior of the main unit radiates warmth with vaulted ceilings and elegant Pickled Red Cedar planking, complemented by premium granite countertops in the kitchens and bathrooms. The spacious primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring an adjoining full-size gym or office space and stunning views of Nichols Passage. The primary bathroom is equipped with a Jacuzzi tub, walk-in shower, and double vanity. Waterfront living meets investment potential with the attached impeccably maintained 2-bed, 1-bath apartment offering breathtaking views and the efficiency of a dual heat source-perfect as a high-yield long-term rental or a premier vacation rental. The home's infrastructure is built for Alaskan independence, featuring a stepped reinforced concrete foundation and a massive 20,000-gallon integral cistern that provides pure rainwater. Situated on 107 feet of private waterfront, the residence offers a commanding view of Nichols Passage, where you can watch whales, otters, seals, and eagles, alongside passing fishing boats and cruise ships. Practicality meets hobbyist needs with a spacious 2-car garage and a matching-footprint shop located directly below, complete with built-in workbenches and cabinets. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac over 100 feet from the Tongass Highway, the property offers a level approach with no steep driveway or access road. It is perfectly positioned for local convenience, situated just 3.7 miles from downtown Ketchikan and 150 feet from the South Tongass Bike and Walking trail. Residents are only 200 yards from the Rotary Beach recreation area, with Three Bears Market and essential services less than a mile away. This well-maintained home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy a peaceful coastal lifestyle with modern amenities and unparalleled access to the water.
