Certain features just stand out when you walk into this home. Maybe it's the way the vaulted ceilings and walls of glass pull in the ever changing views of Lake Washington, or how every room feels connected to the outdoors. Mornings begin with the sun rising over the lake, evenings end on the rooftop deck, and in between there's plenty of room to gather, celebrate, or simply enjoy a quiet night at home. The remodeled kitchen and generous living spaces flow effortlessly onto a deck that stretches the length of the house, overlooking a level backyard and the kind of peaceful setting where eagles and deer are regular visitors. The primary suite is a retreat of its own with a fireplace, soaring ceilings, a spacious bath, and an adjoining room that can be a home office, nursery, fitness room, or inspiring art studio. Two additional bedrooms continue the theme with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. Above the 3-car garage is a completely separate space that's ideal for anyone working from home, with room for several people to work comfortably. It could also be easily transformed into an ADU for guests, extended living, or rental income. The lower level was designed for making memories, with room for movie nights, a pool table, additional bedrooms, a sauna, and easy access to the backyard. Tucked into Mercer Island's north end, you'll enjoy quick access to Mercerwood Shore Club, schools, parks, and I-90, while feeling surrounded by nature every day.
