Turnkey south-end home on a peaceful 0.27-acre lot — walking distance to Lakeridge Elementary, Islander Middle School & Mercer Island Country Club. Meticulously maintained inside & out: remodeled kitchen, dining & home office (2015), refreshed primary + guest baths (2023), new furnace (2025), central A/C (2021), and fresh paint throughout. Composite Trex-style decks on the back and the side — built for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. Rare 3-car heated garage with extra-tall ceilings, perfect for trucks, lifts, or workshop space. Newer skylights, garage doors, front entry, earthquake tie-downs to foundation, and a 16x10 dry storage shed round out a home that's been cared for like a family heirloom. Minutes to I-90, Town Center & downtown Seattle.
