About this home

Ideally situated on Mercer Island's sought-after south end, this beautifully refreshed 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and everyday convenience. A gracious entrance sits above the street and welcomes you home. Bathed in natural light, the dramatic living room showcases soaring vaulted ceilings and stunning floor-to-ceiling cathedral windows that frame peaceful views of the surrounding trees, creating a warm and welcoming first impression. Fresh interior and exterior paint, new kitchen appliances, and move-in-ready condition make settling in effortless. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and private bath. Three bedrooms on the main level provide ideal functionality, while the lower level features a fourth bedroom and an expansive recreation room ready for movie nights, game days, or a quiet reading escape. Just off the dining room, a private deck offers a tranquil outdoor retreat—perfect for al fresco dining, morning coffee, or unwinding on a cozy sofa surrounded by nature. The serene backyard provides even more space to entertain, play, or simply relax in complete privacy. With a two-car garage, generous living spaces, and close proximity to top-rated schools, parks, and the south end shopping center, this home offers the Mercer Island lifestyle at its best.
