Mercer Island, WA - House - $3,395.00 Available January 2026 A Cozy, Quiet Retreat in the Heart of Mercer Island Tucked into a million-dollar Mercer Island neighborhood, this charming mid-century home offers a rare opportunity to rent where towering trees, peaceful streets, and long-established homes define the setting. Rentals are seldom found here, and it's easy to see why. Just three blocks from Mercer Island High School and located within one of the state's top-rated school districts, the location blends tranquility with everyday convenience. Minutes to I-90, 10 minutes to Bellevue, 15 minutes to Downtown Seattle, and quick access to I-5. Built in the 1950s and thoughtfully cared for over the years, the home retains its original warmth while incorporating modern updates. The single-level layout creates an easy, comfortable flow from room to room, making daily living simple and accessible. Natural light filters through the windows, highlighting the mix of hardwood floors, tile, and newly installed carpet throughout the home. The living room and family room are each anchored by their own fireplace, offering inviting spaces to relax, gather, or unwind on cooler evenings. The dining room is centrally located and seamlessly connects the kitchen and family room, creating a warm, open setting ideal for everyday meals or casual entertaining. Whether hosting guests or enjoying a quiet dinner at home, the space flows naturally and comfortably. The updated kitchen offers generous counter space and ample cabinetry, complete with a glass-top stove, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher well suited for both everyday cooking and weekend meals. Its open connection to the dining and family rooms allows for easy interaction while preparing food or entertaining. Three comfortably sized bedrooms with wall-to-wall carpet provide flexible living space, complemented by a full bathroom and an additional water closet. A washer and dryer are included, and the attached garage adds convenience and extra storage. Step outside to a small, private patio surrounded by mature trees, where mornings begin peacefully and evenings feel removed from the bustle of the city. Despite the serene setting, shopping, parks, restaurants, and daily essentials are all close by. Downtown Seattle or Bellevue are just ten minutes away, with I-90 access only two minutes from home.
