Epic, breathtaking sunsets on Mercer Island’s famed Gold Coast! Modern, innovative, significant. This showcase home was completely reimagined in 2020. Thoughtfully designed to take advantage of the stellar views featuring the Seattle Skyline, Seward Park, and the Olympic Mountains. Meticulously curated with the finest details from elegant lighting to high end appliances and designer touches. Opening the walls of windows lets the outside in and sets the tone for the open, airy floorplan. Main level primary suite with dreamy bath, home office, great room, showpiece kitchen, family and dining rooms. Lower level with 3 spacious bedrooms and a rec room. Spiral staircase from the main leads to a sunny bonus room. Beautifully landscaped with level lawns, sports court, outdoor living space with heaters and fountain. Forest Avenue is the location to beat, just minutes to downtown MI, schools, parks and I-90.
