Freshly renovated home on a quiet and beautiful street. This home is very close to the Mendenhall Glacier which allowed us to visit it a few times at different times of the day. The home was clean and comfortable and well appointed.
This house has everything; condiments, spices, abundant supplies!! Large backyard with BBQ option. Modern interior design. Quiet neighborhood with lots of trails. 5min to the supermarket, 7min to the airport, 10min to Mendenhall Glacier, 20min to downtown.
