Waterfront in Whittier with road access! This single family home is currently operating as a successful AirBnB ''Cliffside Cabin''. Gorgeous fjord views of glaciers, waterfalls, mountains and pristine waters that open to Prince William Sound. This 5BR,4.5BA chalet 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, new LVP flooring and updated lighting. Full kitchen has generous cabinet storage, a new 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 4 years young, installed in 2019. This property is fully self-sustained 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. This property is turn-key and sold fully furnished. Whether you're looking for a primary home, a recreational get-away or an income property for vacationing guests, this is a one of a kind property in Whittier, a town that has tremendous growth potential ahead. The 2023 peak summer season booked for $750/night during peak weeks ($800 high)! If cash flow is on your mind, tap in to the autumn hunters, hikers, fall weddings and senior photo shoot sessions once the shrimping season closes. Although the current owners haven't operated in the winter months, a buyer could opt to add a secondary heat source in the garage and turn this into a holiday vacation home with a pretty much guaranteed white Christmas. Snowmachiners break trail in the surrounding mountains with very few places stay. 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, permit and Letter of Permission from the Army Corp of Engineers to construct a 20'x8' floating dock attached to cliffside rock. <br />
<br />
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!! <br />
