About this home
Just one house up from Lake Washington, located on a private lane shared with two waterfront homes, this beautifully updated residence enjoys sweeping lake and Mount Rainier views. Part mid-century modern, part classic lake house, it offers the best of both. Vaulted ceilings & a continuous band of clerestory windows bring in western light, while expansive windows capture the Lake and Mt. Rainier views, filling the home with natural light from sunrise to sunset. What a floor plan! The family room, kitchen, living, dining rooms and primary suite all face the lake. Two additional bedrooms are also on the main floor. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen with a generous center island with slab quartz. The Sub-Zero, Miele and a six-burner Wolf cooktop are the "dream team" of the kitchen. Heading to the lower level, a spacious bonus room, office alcove, two large bedrooms, one en suite, and a laundry room that was designed as a craft room are perfect for busy households. Wraparound decks capture those big lake and mountain views, while mature landscaping provides privacy and a yard with room to play. The lucky new owner will appreciate thoughtfully updated features such as double-paned vinyl windows throughout, a 40-year metal roof, refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, new carpet, new hot water heaters and A/C. Just minutes to Clarke Beach, Mercer Island Beach Club and South End shopping. Big views, beautiful light and a wonderfully private setting.
