Extraordinary Southpointe Waterfront! A rare opportunity on one of Lake Washington’s coveted points, where 155' of no-bank shoreline, exceptional privacy, southern exposure & breathtaking views create a waterfront setting unlike any other. Tucked away at the southernmost point of Mercer Island, this distinctive contemporary was designed to embrace its remarkable site—more than 100’ wide with walls of glass capturing lake views, Mt Rainier & natural light from sunrise to sunset. Inside, soaring ceilings, wood beam detailing & expansive windows create dramatic yet inviting spaces. The two-story living room frames the lake & mountain like art, while gracious living & dining spaces flow to the chef’s kitchen. An expansive waterside deck spans the heart of the home—an incredible setting for entertaining & taking in the views. A spacious guest or primary en suite on the main level enjoys its own private waterside deck, while 3 en suite bedrooms on the lower level face the lake with walk-out access to the grounds—an exceptional layout offering privacy & flexibility. Outside, beautifully landscaped, level grounds unfold into multiple places to gather—from the private firepit patio to the waterfront peninsula, expansive lawn & entertaining terraces. Wade into the lake from your own shoreline or head out from the dock with covered moorage & multiple lifts. With extensive parking & a rare point setting where water, mountain & sky stretch out before you, this is waterfront at its finest.
