We've just returned from a whirlwind tour of Anchorage this weekend. The goal? Find a place to live!! Despite some interesting setbacks and unexpected curve balls, we found a place of our very own. It's super cute, a little smaller than the home we own now, and about 1.5 times as much (ouch!!).
It's located up on Government Hill--a quiet (except for the flyovers) residential neighborhood surrounding the air force base. It's, as its name implies, up on a hill. The day we saw it it was filled with light. We met the pleasant landlady, Joy, there and convinced her she wanted us as tenants despite the fact we have four pets. In the end, her husband relented she told me, because we were from Colorado. Joy and her husband are from Colorado originally themselves! She asked how long we thought we'd be staying in Alaska, and when I replied, "3-5 years" she laughed and said, "that's what we thought 35 years ago!!" Anyway--we are pleased as peas in a pod with the place. It's all updated, nice wood floors, and has two, yes two decks! It also has a garage which will be a nice place to not only store our toys, but also probably VERY much appreciated on the many snowy days to come up there. I'm posting some pictures so you can get a feel for the place!!
IMPORTANT: we got a two bedroom place because we want you, yes you, to come visit!! There will definitely be a guest bed, so book your reservations at Casa Walker soon!
