Fabulous location at the north end of Mercer Island. It's very convenient for nearby restaurants and parks. Commuting is a breeze with the Light Rail Stations, and it's adjacent to the Park and Ride and bus stops to Seattle and Bellevue. Walking distance to enjoy the Farmer's Market. Nicely updated two bedroom condo that features new paint, newer tile floors throughout with radiant floor heating, large windows that bath the unit in natural light, territorial and partial lake views, large deck, and wood burning fireplace. Water, sewer and garbage included in the rent. One designated uncovered off-street parking space (a 2nd space can be rented) and separate large storage unit. No pets (the building doesn't allow them).
