This oceanfront custom home is on 2.98 acres with 325′ of ocean frontage, with old growth timber, and an acre of which has been landscaped with flower beds with a vast array of perennials, trees, a vegetable garden, and berries.
The home, with over 2200 sq. ft. features 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. In this case custom means the owners cut the trees down and then either had them milled or chainsaw milled them into boards, then ran them through a planer and put the tongue and groove in them. The boards are used on the walls in the living room, in the kitchen cabinets, and on many doors throughout the home to name a few.
The kitchen cabinets are built out of red and yellow cedar with teak and marble counter tops. The floors are Doug Fir, and walls are red and yellow tongue in groove cedar. Off the kitchen is a deck looking out to the water, backyard and woods.
The red and yellow cedar continues in the living room, with views out to the ocean and mountains. There is a brick hearth with a Fisher wood stove.
The attention to detail continues throughout the home, which also includes an inviting entryway with natural beach slate rock flooring, workshop large enough to build a canoe, laundry room, and storage area.
The home is wired for both 110 volt and 12 volt with two sets of light switches and the 12 volt covers have been hand covered with cane material to distinguish them from the 110 volt, many of which are hand made pottery. There is a remote switch for the generator by the back door so you can start and stop the generator from the house.
This property with fantastic crabbing, shrimping, salmon or halibut fishing, right out your front door, is perfect for you and your family or visitors, or could be used for a B & B or lodge.
Access by boat or plane. Located 22 miles from downtown Wrangell on Wrangell Island.
