Property Overview
Price: $820,000
Address: 611 W 11th Ave, Anchorage AK 99501
Bright, spacious South Addition duplex offering size, flexibility, and a location rarely available in this neighborhood. The size, structure, and natural light of this duplex, paired with its South Addition location, make finishing the remodel genuinely worthwhile.
The upstairs unit is a large single-level flat with exceptional natural light, multiple living areas, 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, walk-in closets, ensuite baths, a laundry room, and a private 22 x 26 roof deck. The layout provides real separation between living areas and bedrooms, which is unusual for South Addition.
The downstairs unit features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with great natural light, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a laundry room, and a finished basement bonus room with egress. The downstairs also includes a fully fenced yard with a stone firepit. The downstairs unit has all new electrical, lighting, plumbing, windows, and insulation.
Both units have oversized garages and high-efficiency combi-boilers for radiant heat and on-demand hot water.
The underlying structure, square footage, and mechanical systems give this duplex long-term value, whether for owner-occupancy with rental income, multigenerational living, or a long-term investment in one of Anchorage's most desirable neighborhoods.

Why This Duplex Is Special
This property combines scale, light, and layout in a way that is rare in South Addition. Both units offer thoughtfully designed, functional layouts with exceptional space, including generous bedrooms, walk-in closets, ensuite bathrooms and oversized attached garages — features seldom found in this neighborhood.
The upstairs unit lives like a true single-level home with multiple living areas and a private roof deck. The downstairs unit features modern systems, open-concept living areas, great natural light, and direct access to a fully fenced yard with a stone firepit.
With its square footage, updated systems and location, this duplex has long term value. The remaining projects are straightforward, and once completed, this property sits at the top end of what South Addition offers in size, flexibility, and rental or multigenerational potential.
What Makes This Duplex Valuable
This property brings together three things that rarely align in South Addition: scale, structure, and modern systems. Most homes in this neighborhood are smaller, older, and built with layouts that do not match modern living. This duplex is different. It offers the square footage, mechanical upgrades, and long term flexibility that make it a high value asset whether you finish it for yourself, for rental income, or as a long term investment.
1. Size and Layout You Cannot Usually Get in South Addition
Most South Addition homes top out around 1,200 to 1,800 sq ft per unit. This duplex offers:
- 2,682 sq ft upstairs
- 2,266 sq ft downstairs (including the 639 sq ft finished basement)
- Oversized garages totaling 1,474 sq ft
The result is a level of space, storage, and separation that simply does not exist in most nearby properties.
2. The Expensive, High Risk Work Is Already Done
The major systems, the items that typically cost the most and carry the most uncertainty, have already been upgraded or replaced:
- New roof with sheathing and airflow baffles
- All new electrical, plumbing, windows, and insulation downstairs
- Upgraded drain plumbing (cast iron quiet pipe)
- Reinforced subfloor
- High efficiency combi boilers for both units
- Radiant heat installed or prepped
- Remodeled bathrooms
- Laundry rooms added in both units
3. Modern Mechanical Systems With Long Term Value
Radiant heat, on demand hot water, upgraded plumbing, and new electrical systems mean lower operating costs, quieter living, and fewer surprises. The mechanical foundation is built for the next several decades.
4. Flexibility for Any Living Scenario
The layout supports a wide range of uses:
- Owner occupancy with rental income
- Multigenerational living
- Long term rental investment
- Home based business
- Live up / rent down
- Two large, independent units with privacy
5. A Location That Will Always Hold Value
South Addition is one of Anchorage's most stable, desirable neighborhoods. Walkability, trail access, mature trees, and proximity to downtown create long term demand. Homes here rarely come to market, and large homes almost never do.
6. A Clear, Finite Path to Completion
The remaining work is primarily finishes, not structure or systems. Flooring, trim, cabinetry, insulation, and sheetrock are predictable, straightforward, and already staged with materials on site. The heavy lifting is done. What remains is customization.
