Perched just off scenic Chena Ridge, this enchanting European-style chalet offers the warmth and romance of the Swiss Alps without ever leaving Fairbanks. Surrounded by towering trees and serene natural beauty, this home perfectly balances rustic charm with modern comfort. Inside, the inviting layout is filled with natural light and rich wood accents that create a cozy alpine ambiance, complemented by recent upgrades including a brand-new heating system and a European DAB Mini 3 tankless water system for year-round efficiency and comfort. Every detail reflects thoughtful care and timeless design, from the chalet-inspired architecture to the serene deck ideal for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Once a successful Airbnb, this property offers endless possibilities--a peaceful year-round residence, an income-producing retreat, or your own private getaway just minutes from town. Additional highlights include a snow-engineered roof with slide barriers, a desirable location above the inversion layer for warmer winter temperatures, seasonal Tanana River and Denali views on neighborhood walks, and immediate access to the Isberg Trail Network for skiing, walking, and biking. The northern lights often dance directly over the home, providing breathtaking nightly displays. The property sits on stable ground with no permafrost and features a fully fenced and gated yard with double welded wire (installed in 2023) to keep moose out and pets in. Snow removal and road maintenance are reliable and timely, and there is a small garden at the top of the driveway for seasonal planting. Extra acreage offers opportunities to add a second property, cabin, or workshop, along with ample wood resources. Triple-pane windows with blackout blinds enhance comfort and efficiency, and a digital entry system adds modern convenience. This rare Fairbanks gem blends European elegance, thoughtful updates, and unmatched natural surroundings--truly a home that feels worlds away, yet perfectly at home.
