Meet 1471 4th Ave otherwise known as the Red House. This striking character home was designed by Trina Buhler and built in 2008.

This 1800 square foot, 3 level home plus legal rental suite is nestled against the greenbelt 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. Connect to the 9th Ave trail system directly from your property. The house is situated on a large pie shaped property with incredible potential and few neighbours. The house is on street level with a lower yard, accessible by trail. There are several raised garden beds next to the house. The lower area is largely undeveloped, however, there is a large cleared area. An easy walk to all town’s amenities. This house is located in an extremely coveted location.

The house was originally designed as a family home with the potential of being divided into two units. When I purchased this property in 2015, I renovated the house into a two unit property to maximize its investment potential. A divider wall was erected, walls and floors between units were sound proofed and fire safed, the electrical was separated, separate HVACs installed, plumbing was run to the new kitchen, the upstairs bathroom had a shower added to it and bathtub surround was tiled. New kitchens were added in both units and bathrooms were upgraded. This house has electric heat with electric baseboard heaters. There is also a wood stove for back up in the 2 Bedroom Unit. The home is well insulated with dark laminate and tile flooring. Both units have had long term renters.

2 Bedroom Unit (Upper)

This unit is 1250 square feet, not including a 130 square foot 3 season sunroom. The entry to this unit is on the street side on the main floor. You enter onto a small veranda and into a large entry way. There is a wood stove (Blaze King) in the entry. There is great storage potential in this space. The utility room is off this space and contains a stacked washer and dryer, the hot water tank, HVAC, and water lines into the house, bleeder, and more.

Walking up the first flight of stairs, you arrive to the second floor. Directly ahead is the living room, which faces north west. To the left is a large dining room, with a bank of windows looking south towards town and west towards the river. The room also has a built-in buffet and cabinets along one wall for additional storage. Continuing along, you come to the second flight of stairs to the left and a 3 season sunroom to the right. Then you arrive to the small galley kitchen. Although small in size, it has everything you need including a full size stove and microwave rangehood, double sinks, apartment size dishwasher and fridge. It should be noted that the sunroom has the potential to be converted into 4 season room, adding an additional bedroom or living space to the upper unit.

As you walk up to the third floor, you will find the bathroom with a large soaker tub and shower and two bedrooms. The ceilings have lots of angles adding architectural interest although you may have to watch your head! There are spectacular views from the primary bedroom.
