Perched above Lake Washington on a rare 1.2-acre estate along one of Mercer Island's most peaceful private lanes, this home, originally designed by acclaimed Northwest architect Reid Morgan, is a timeless expression of Northwest architecture. Towering timber columns, exposed beams, warm brick, skylights, and walls of glass create spaces that are both dramatic and welcoming. Sweeping lake and skyline views blur the line between indoors and out, while light pours into every space. Designed for both grand entertaining and quiet evenings overlooking the water, every space invites conversation, celebration, and connection. Stepping outside, expansive terraces and a pool create natural extensions of the home's gathering spaces. Thoughtfully designed living, a guest ADU, versatile 6,000-square-foot recreation court, and the privacy afforded by mature evergreens provide exceptional flexibility for everyday living, hosting friends, and making the most of every season. Moments from both Seattle and Bellevue, this is a remarkable Mercer Island Estate where architecture, nature, and hospitality exist in perfect harmony. This home provides everyone a unique reason to gather and leaves a lasting impression. This a place where lifelong memories are made.
