I'm a third generation Alaskan, born in Juneau and raised in Wasilla in this very house! I recently retired from 35 years as a high school English teacher and spent the last few years renovating the lake house with my husband to make it available to you, so we can keep it in our family.
I sing alto in the Anchorage Concert Chorus, volunteer at the library, and enjoy yoga.
I love to read, and one of my favorite childhood memories is of going to the tiny Wasilla Library to check out books. I'd bring them home to read in the chair next to the fireplace. Every so often, I'd look up at the view outside the windows and dream. We hope to share that magic with you.

Why they chose this property
The view from virtually every room in the house is stunning in any season. Because the house is situated on the shallower end of the lake, it is a nesting ground in the spring and summer for many waterfowl including grebes and loons. Many an afternoon could be spent just watching birds from the living room. Last year, we had a golden eagle as a regular visitor. For an intimate experience of the lake, we have a rowboat and lifejackets that can be used with a signed waiver.
What makes this property unique
This is one of the oldest homes in the Wasilla area. It was built before setback regulations, so it is unusually close to the lakefront. The only previous owners were the original builders and my parents, both important figures in the formation of the State of Alaska.
We have recently renovated the entire house, keeping as many of the original features as possible, incorporating local and luxury materials.
The house is very private on the north, east, and west sides, but is conveniently located to shopping and other conveniences on the south side.
The house is also centrally located for taking part in wonderful outdoor activities in the Valley, including hiking in the Hatcher Pass area and glacier viewing outside of Palmer.
