About this home
Welcome to 3480 W 78th Ave, a super well-cared-for 2,212 sq ft home in desirable Southwest Anchorage. This 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath residence offers two large living areas, an updated kitchen with new stainless appliances, and a south-facing backyard perfect for outdoor living and entertaining. Recent improvements include a newer roof, fresh interior and exterior paint, and thoughtful updates... throughout that make this home feel larger than its square footage. With no HOA and a prime location close to schools, parks, shopping, and major Anchorage amenities, this property is move-in ready and built for everyday comfort.
Active and recent listings in the 78th Avenue/Southwest Anchorage area show a competitive price point for well-maintained 4-bedroom homes. For example, nearby 4-bed/3-bath homes in the 2,200-2,500 sq ft range are listing in the mid-$500Ks, with Zillow's estimated value band for this property around $563K-$635K. Compared to smaller 3-bed options nearby (e.g., ~1,040 sq ft homes in the low $400Ks), 3480 W 78th Ave offers significantly more space, an extra bathroom, and updated systems and finishes that support stronger value retention.
