## Description

### Agent Description
Extremely private home on a 6.25 acre lot with a view that the owner describes as "her valley" just off of Old Nenana Highway. Very few neighbors around to begin with and hardly any that you can see from the house, this is just a beautiful, wooded, peaceful place. The house is custom designed and built by a local engineer back in the day with a lot of foresight to energy efficiency. Life calls the owner away and there are some unfinished projects with the house which is reflected in the competitive price. The upper level is inaccessible now but has two bedrooms and an office space. The main level boasts a brand new woodstove, newly refinished gorgeous oak floors and the living, dining and kitchen areas as well as a bathroom. Downstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Bring your vision and elbow grease and restore this house to its rightful glory!
