38367 Stans St, Sterling, AK 99672

This family home and all the buildings are built solid and true. It was built by the only owner, an expert carpenter with an eye to building well to last. It sits on 4.77 wooded acres purchased from the original homesteader, in walking distance to the local post office, Moose and Kenai Rivers, and gas station at the end of the road. Sterling Elementary School is two miles away. Only a twenty minute drive to Soldotna, an hour and thirty minutes to Homer, and two hours and thirty minutes to the Anchorage airport, this property is set a pleasant two blocks off the main road, well situated for easy access to the wide range of Alaskan adventures and world class fishing. Two bedrooms, the master bedroom has private access to the bathroom with full tub and shower. A large utility room houses washer, dryer, hot water tank, and furnace with plenty of room for storage. Large windows in every room allow for all around views of the property through all seasons. A two story, 1,000+ square feet, barn-style roof workshop sits on the lot, large enough to securely store boats with double doors. The original one-room 240 square foot cabin sits behind the house, with a sink, refrigerator, and was heated with a wood stove. A large overgrown garden grows rhubarb, currants, gooseberries, pear and apple trees. Irises and lilacs also grace the property. Well water runs clear and plentifully with no sulphur smell. Condition of the septic system is unknown and will need inspection and work. Heated by oil furnace and wood stove. Natural gas line is available and close to connect to if needed. Roof, walls and floor are well insulated. Main room and hallways are vintage oak wood flooring with worn linoleum in kitchen and bathroom and tiles in the utility room. Bedroom floors, ceilings, door and window trim and closets are mostly unfinished. Windows open wide to let in summer breezes and has excellent summer evening sun exposure. The roof was re-done within the last approximately eight years for the first time since it was built. There is a crawl space under the entire house. The house is sided with vinyl siding. All buildings are situated on the corner of the almost five acre property, leaving an expansive back wooded lot to roam and explore or develop. Birds, rabbits, moose, and other wildlife are frequently sighted throughout the seasons. This has been home to three generations of the Alaskan do-it-yourself spirit, with multiple buildings to hold supplies and materials needed to withstand the harshest of times. As such expect old appliances and some necessary updates. As is cash sale only.
