Alaskan Houses. They aren’t all Igloos September 22nd, 2007

Categories: Alaskana, Wasilla Real Estate News

I think I’m going to start a new category just for fun. In my travels around I see a lot of interesting houses. Alaskans are unique, and some of us show it in our classic Alaskan houses.

I’m trying to think of a name for these houses…if anyone has a good title let me know.

The one in the photos here is a good starter. I don’t know the story behind this house but I’m sure there is one. It is located right here in the Mat-Su Borough.

I can’t give you good directions to drive by it, the driveway is probably gated. This house has been there awhile and has proven that it can withstand the winds and earthquakes. It must be pretty stout, although it looks to me like it should fall over.

Take a look at the photos below…

I have a name for this house……..”A view at any cost.” To me, if looks as if the home owners started with a quest for a view and just kept wanting to see a little bit more, ha! I got a real kick out of this one.

This house belongs on that television show called “What’s up with that house.” It’s a show that goes around the country documenting strange and unusual houses. This is about as strange and unique as any I’ve seen. I just would not want to be in this home if we get that quake they say we are due for, at least not up on the top floors.
