Fireweed House and Loft - By Alaskan Hosts
About the Home
This log home, constructed in 1955 was built by a bush pilot who transported his friend and flight surgeon to remote "bush" villages. The flight surgeon built the house directly next door (and is also available for booking). Eventually, this house was purchased by a Swiss artist who painted fun murals on many of the walls and ceilings, most of which have been carefully maintained over the years. The house is in beautiful condition and extremely unique. Very close to Downtown Anchorage, Universities, the Medical District, and petroleum companies. This house has three bedrooms a master with an ensuite bath, one queen room with full bath in the hall, and one twin + trundle room with an ensuite toilet and shower. There is a sleeper sofa in the TV room next to the twin/trundle room and a high-quality, self-inflating twin mattress as well. Above the large garage is a stylish loft apartment designed and built by the artist as his art studio. It features its own private entrance and is an incredible use of space. The loft has two bedrooms (a King room and a Queen room), a seating area with a convertible sofa, its own kitchen and a full bath. The loft has excellent views and a rooftop patio with its own grill.
