Located in the footnills just to the northest of Fairbanks, and less than 10 mins drive to UAF, Weller elementary, downtown, fine dining AND interior Alaska's ONLY brewery, this home gives you plenty of elbow room to enjoy the great outdoors without feeling isolated. The larger 2 car heated garage provides protection against the cold for vehicles and/or toys as well as providng plenty of storage or workspace for the tinkerer in the family.
The interior of this nicely sized single level home is VERY clean, recently remodeled with new interior paint, laminate, vinyl, carpet, kitchen appliances, bathroom upgrades & more. The extra large gathering rooms (living/dining/kitchen) can accommodate lots of family, guests or furnishings (espcially good for larger dining room sets) and the kitchen design would allow a seperate small eat-in table, OR a mobile workspace/island unit. Large and numerous south & east facing windows brighten the most-often used rooms!
And with a brand spanking new boiler, you'll feel more secure knowing your heating system isn't on its last legs, as with most homes built in the late 80's that still have their original boilers!
Hm....nice location not too far from town, acreage, beautiful interior, large heated garage, plenty of square footage...for $179,950... "What's the catch?" You're probably asking yourself. You're right to ask considering the attractive price! Here's the answer: Whoever originally built this home in 1986 used a concrete foundation, which was later discovered to be completely unsuitable for the unstable soils which are so common here. Under a previous owner the foundation system was converted to a post-on-pad system under direction of a well known local inspector/engineer and must be levelled periodically as a part of a general home maintenance program. Because of this you have a HUGE tall "crawlspace" (no crawling or even hunching required) under the home which is heated giving you TONS of storage, but it also means that between and after levellings, there are sheetrock cracks that will appear. It also means that the garage, while still doing its job quite well, has a noticeable dip in the center.
Financing comments: There are no known financing limitations for this property due to its construction: VA, FHA, Conventional, IRHA, AHFC, should be available unless those programs have minimum well flow requirements as there is information which indicates this home may have a low-flow well. Please note that this property appears to be VERY CLOSE to the geographic dividing line for Rural Development (USDA/RD) loans and it is strongly recommended that you check directly with that office regarding whether or not this particular home's location qualifies for that program.
