Step into the pages of Architectural Digest with this Mark Ivy masterpiece--where design and setting align in perfect harmony.Tucked discreetly into one of Anchorage's most coveted neighborhoods, this private residence is a hidden treasure--even to nearby residents. Just steps from the Coastal Trail yet shielded from view, it offers a rare combination of serenity and convenience.The all--season 360-degree views are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows. Designed with an open flow to adjoining decks, it creates an exquisite stage for entertaining as effortlessly as it does for quiet retreat (decks have heated floors for ice-melt and a lovely gas fireplace). Sculpted gardens, lower-level patios, and thoughtfully placed outdoor art pieces further blur the line between house and landscape, all while ensuring the owner's privacy. Inside, vertical-grain Douglas fir beams, a serene water feature, and a glass-paneled staircase are illuminated by museum-quality lighting. No cost was spared in the chef's kitchen, where a Gaggenau stovetop complements a suite of Miele appliances.The true magic of this design lies in its balance artful sophistication paired with the warmth often absent in modern architecture. Cozy nooks, a wood-burning fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and a yoga/flex room invite everyday comfort without diminishing the home's striking artistry.Words cannot capture every detail of this extraordinary residence. This is a home that must be experienced to be believed.
