What's special
Not every great home needs to be big. Sometimes it just needs to be exactly right. Tucked away on a quiet private lane in Mercer Island's coveted First Hill neighborhood, this beautifully remodeled rambler proves that thoughtful design always wins. Reimagined by RKK Construction, every inch has been carefully considered, creating bright, open spaces that feel welcoming from the moment you walk in. Wide plank hardwood floors, slab quartz countertops, warm gold accents, playful lighting, and abundant natural light give the home an effortless style that feels fresh without trying too hard. The great room is the heart of the home, making everyday living and entertaining equally comfortable. Outside, the oversized level lot enjoys wonderful sun exposure with plenty of room for gardening, gathering with friends, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A detached two car garage and generous storage provide space for everything you need. Whether you're looking for a low maintenance primary home, an elegant condo alternative without shared walls, the perfect pied à terre, or simply a home that lets you stay in one of Mercer Island's most beloved neighborhoods without more square footage than you want, this one feels just right!
