2279 Franklin St Apartments

Located on a scenic property in the Goldstream Valley, in north-west Fairbanks, this spacious sunny apartment is the lower level of a well-maintained, owner-occupied, efficient, south-facing split level duplex, on the uphill side of Franklin Street. The apartment includes 1 bedroom, a den, full kitchen, full bathroom, ample inside storage space, and a shared adjacent laundry room. The apartment offers brand new low-VOC carpet, wireless internet, and two dedicated parking spaces with headbolt plug-ins to help you keep your vehicle running smoothly through the winter. A fuel allocation is provided for water-heated baseboard heat, and dry split wood is supplied for the wood stove.* Water, septic, snow removal, and lawn maintenance are also included in the rental rate. Electric is separate, and tenants dispose of their refuse removal at the local transfer station, which is conveniently located on the way into town. The apartment is a 7 mile commute to the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus, 13 minutes by car, and is bike-able in the summer. The University features an extended groomed ski trail system in the winter. The property is located off of a main road, and four-wheel drive is generally not needed, but can be helpful during snowstorms. This bucolic setting offers seasonal aurora views, and several miles of trails through field, forest, and wetland environments throughout the valley, where you will find locals dog mushing, skijoring, skiing throughout the winter and spring. The nearby Kenneth Kunkel Community Center hosts a community garden, fire pits, playground, and soccer field, in addition to a rentable enclosed clubhouse space with full amenities for parties and gatherings, located next door to the Goldstream General Store and Ivory Jacks restaurant. Fred Meyers West and Safeway are 15 minutes away, and Downtown Fairbanks and the city’s main shopping district are both within 10 miles of the apartment, a 20 minute drive away. This is a non-smoking property.
