Waterfront in Whittier with road access! Gorgeous fjord views of glaciers, waterfalls, mountains and pristine waters that open to Prince William Sound. This 5BR, 4.5BA chalet style cabin sits on a 3/4 acre bluff lot w/200ft of ocean frontage overlooking Smitty's Cove (next to Shotgun), just before the Emerald Cove Trail.Watch whales, dolphins, otters and the occasional black bear crossing from your choice of 3 elevated view decks. There's also an extended ground level south facing deck/patio at the front entrance with mountain and green space views. Step inside to a vaulted great room with tongue & groove ceilings, open living area with large windows framing the turquoise waters of PWS, newer LVP flooring and updated lighting. Full kitchen has generous cabinet storage, a propane oven/range and casual picnic style dining. Guest powder bath and a bedroom suite round out the main floor. Designed for efficiency and expandable accommodations, 4 out of 5 bedrooms have ensuite full baths and ladder lofts for additional sleeping and storage space when needed. Enjoy a view from every bedroom. The attached 2 car garage houses a full size washer/dryer on one side and mechanical system on the other. The water heater is 5 years young, installed in 2019. This property is fully self-sustained (currently set up for seasonal summer use) with a $32K+ AGM 6.8kW off grid solar system that includes Solaria energy efficient solar module and panels, Schneider XW+ 6800 Watt Inverter, 140A charger with a 16-unit Centennial battery bank of 20hrs each and a new 2023 Honda 7000i inverter generator backup with remote start and auto-switch to ensure uninterrupted power. The generator shed is built with combustion air, exhaust vent, and an extended fuel line. The home's electrical system was completely redone in 2020 with $16K+ in upgraded wiring, underground power lines and new LED lights. A propane stove heats the cabin and comes with a 3-tank reserve system shaped for easy carry-and-go refills. Or if buyer prefers a wood stove, it would be easy to install and reconnect through the existing roof vent where capped. This property is turn-key and sold fully furnished. This is a one of a kind property in Whittier, a town that has tremendous growth potential ahead. Plenty of space for toy storage on this 3/4 acre lot. Visualize the potential to landscape a dedicated trail down to the water. There may also be a future option to build a floating dock. Check out the documents tab to review an approved design concept, expired permit and Letter of Permission from the Army Corp of Engineers to construct a 20'x8' floating dock attached to cliffside rock.
For now, this Cliffside Cabin is its own unique piece of paradise overlooking the prettiest marine playground for fishing, shrimping, kayaking, beach combing, jet skiing, glacier and wildlife viewing, back country hiking, exploring and simply relaxing. Plus, it comes with a front row seat to the Summer Sundays unofficial comedy regatta as "weekend warrior" boaters race to get to the harbor's loading ramp in front of the 5pm tunnel traffic. Iykyk!!
This is a special property and huge opportunity to own an oceanfront home in Whittier while it's still affordable.
