LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! This rambler needs a little cosmetic help, but remember, LOCATION! Pancake flat sunny south-facing property on Mercer Island's north end. Quiet highly desirable dead-end street with neighbors who have a lot of "little milk cartons" - what a great place to raise a crate of your own. Exceptional public schools are a couple of blocks away. Light floods into the living room from the south, and the open concept floorplan benefits from that and a 30-foot wall of westerly windows. Three-bedroom wing on the east side of house. Primary bedroom suite includes an updated master bath and three closets. Kitchen enjoyed a value-add in the early 90s and is still serviceable. Air conditioning, laundry room, 2 car garage with extensive built-in storage, 2 fireplaces, expansive west yard patio with new landscaping, Upper Luther Burbank Park at your doorstep, bike and pedestrian trails. Summertime music at Mercerdale Park gently audible from nearby downtown Mercer Island. The high school marching band audible on fall football Friday nights. SE 36th Street is tight and friendly. And, guess what? No McMansions. Life is great like the good 'ol days! P.S. The house next door sold for 7% over list price this summer!
