Meet 1459 4th Ave otherwise known as the Blue House. This charming home was designed by Greg Hakonson and myself and built in 2009/2010 by Low Impact Development. This 1118 square foot, 2 level, 2 bedroom, one bath home is perched on a hill on a private and quiet cul-de-sac in the North End of town. There are spectacular views of downtown Dawson and the Yukon River. Easily connect to the 9th Ave trail system. The house is situated on a larger pie shaped property with incredible potential. Once in the driveway the charming, private property reveals itself to you. The property is cleared and terraced to create maximum useable space, however, the yard is surrounded by trees, creating a private oasis right in town. Easy walk to all town’s amenities. This house is located in an extremely coveted location.

This house is an upside down house with the bedrooms on the main floor and the living space and kitchen on the 2nd floor. This maximizes views and keeps bedrooms cooler and the living space warmer. You enter this house from a small covered deck into an entry way with closet. The main floor contains a large primary bedroom with double closets, a second bedroom and a full bathroom with shower/tub, toilet, vanity, stacked washer and dryer. There is also a utility room under the stairs that holds the boiler, the hot water heater, HVAC and provides extra storage.

Up the stairs, you enter into the main living area. To the left there is a large chef’s kitchen, with gas stove and full size black appliances. There is a large island, which also serves as a large dining table, surrounded by comfortable leather chairs. The countertops are stainless steel. There is endless counterspace. As if there wasn’t enough storage in this kitchen, there is a large pantry with shelving and room for a second fridge or deep freeze. Off the kitchen there is a built in office nook/buffet. The living room is a charming, bright space with a large bay window and raised tray ceiling. From the living room, a door leads out onto a covered deck, which contains a BBQ space. Around the corner, there is a large, uncovered deck which bathes in afternoon and evening sun. There are amazing views from the windows and decks.

The house has a propane boiler system with radiators in each room. Propane efficiently heats the home and the hot water while providing fuel for the kitchen stove and range and BBQ hook up on the deck. The walls are 2x6 studs wrapped with 2” Styrofoam. There is 2x4 service wall. The walls are 12" thick and very cozy even in the most extreme temperatures. For flooring, the bedrooms are carpeted. The entry, bathroom, and kitchen are tiled. Throughout the hallway, stairs and living room is maple hardwood flooring.

The property has ample storage with a 4' crawl space under the house, a shed and attached greenhouse. There are also regulation horseshoe pits built by current BC Horseshoe Champion, Bob McCauley.
