Once a 1950s Alaska Railroad Section House, this unique home blends modern comfort with vintage soul

Xeno Vacation Rentals welcomes you to a unique piece of Alaskan history! Once a 1950s Alaska Railroad Section House, this unique home was relocated to the scenic hillside in the '60s. Lovingly restored to blend modern comfort with vintage details. Industrial accents—like exposed steel beams, a commemorative plaque and repurposed copper pipes for the bar footrest—pay tribute to its storied past. You will have exclusive access to the entire house, garage, and fenced yard during your stay.

We are available 24/7/365 for guests by phone/text or email. We can be as available or distant as the guest chooses. Don't hesitate to ask for recommendations or special tips -- there so much more to see and do than you will possibly have time for!

Set in a peaceful, tree-lined residential neighborhood on Anchorage's desirable hillside, the home offers a quiet retreat. You are just 15 minutes from downtown and conveniently close to local hiking and biking trails, restaurants, and all the city has to offer.

A car is recommended for exploring the area. The property includes a garage and a long driveway with plenty of parking space.

The entire house, garage and yard are available for guests' use. The basement is locked for owner's storage and cleaners' supplies.

The open-concept great room is the heart of the home, inviting your group to gather and relax. Large windows flood the space with natural light, while blackout shades ensure peaceful sleep during the midnight sun. Unwind by the fireplace, mix a drink at the wet bar, play games or ping pong, or enjoy a movie on the 75" smart TV.

The fully equipped kitchen features modern appliances and a unique footrest made from repurposed copper pipes. An extra fridge/freezer in the utility room provides ample space for your groceries or fresh Alaskan catch. Enjoy meals together in the formal dining room or take the evening outside.

Step into the fenced yard to enjoy the crisp Alaskan air. Your private outdoor oasis includes:
• A gas BBQ grill and outdoor dining area
• Comfortable outdoor furniture arranged and patio set

For more entertainment, a separate media room offers a 55" smart TV and a sleeper sofa, perfect for movie nights. You'll also find board games, a ping pong table and exercise equipment for some indoor fun.

When it's time to rest, the upstairs master suite provides a spa-like retreat with a king bed, a luxurious Jacuzzi tub, and a separate double shower. Three additional queen bedrooms share a full bathroom stocked with essentials.

This home is perfect for families and groups, offering:
• A dedicated workspace
• A full laundry room
• Board games for all ages
• Family essentials including a crib, pack 'n play, high chair, and children's dinnerware
