A Home that Nurtures your Passions
Nestled down a peaceful lane on the south end of Mercer Island, this new-to-market property on a level one-third acre lot offers an inspiring estate with plentiful space for growing your passions, whether cooking or gardening, fitness or fashion, reading or crafting, or all of the above.
Thoughtfully Remodeled and Expanded for Modern Comfort
The 1969 Black & Caldwell-built home was completely remodeled and expanded with a major addition in 2002. A new primary suite was added with vaulted ceilings, gas fireplace, 5-piece bath, walk-in closet, and an adjoining den that makes for a dreamy office or reading room with a built-in desk, bookshelves, and storage cabinets. An additional work space with a built-in desk, drawers, and shelving is located in the primary closet.
The other bedroom "wing" features four additional bedrooms, including the original primary bedroom suite, which provides luxurious guest space or a perfect rec room or play room. Light and bright, a wall of windows frames the outdoors with a magnificent Japanese maple giving a show of seasonal splendor.
Designed for Connection: Open-Concept and Outdoor Living Spaces
At the heart of the home, the island-style chef’s kitchen features a walk-in pantry, built-in buffet, and high-end appliances, including a Thermador 6-burner stove and double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and Miele dishwasher. The kitchen opens to a breakfast nook and a large family room to serve as Seattle sports-watching headquarters with a huge seating area, built-in TV cabinet, and Sonos sound system with new kitchen speakers added in 2022.
The formal living room and dining room provide generous entertaining spaces with exterior doors that open to fully fenced backyard. Spend sunny days relaxing on the wraparound outdoor patio and gardening along stone pathways and among the raised vegetable beds in the fully fenced backyard.
Versatile Garage with Fitness Studio or Wine Cellar Potential
The well-appointed 3-car garage offers electric vehicle charging, plentiful storage, and a workout room, once an expansive wine cellar. Make it your own with your fitness equipment or convert it back to a vault for your favorite vintages.
A Serene South End Mercer Island Location in Island Point
The Island Point neighborhood vibe is quiet and private, within easy walking distance of schools, parks, shops, and dining. Here's an overview of this property's nearby amenities:
Walking & Hiking Trails
One of the special secrets of Mercer Island is the extensive trail system, including short trails that connect the neighborhoods and provide quick on-foot access to schools and other points of interest. Directly adjacent to this property is one such trail that leads to Lakeridge Elementary School.
The Fleury Trail, another nearby neighborhood trail, leads from the Island Point neighborhood down to West Mercer Way. It’s a relatively steep descent down a series of stairs, but a lovely outdoor experience in the woods if you don’t mind the hike back up.
South Mercer Playfields
Located between Islander Middle School and Lakeridge Elementary School, South Mercer Playfields feature several softball/baseball fields, including the home field for the Mercer Island High School Softball program. Surrounded by a running track, a multi-purpose field is used for soccer, lacrosse, football and ultimate frisbee practice and games. Nearby, a nature-themed playground provides an fully fenced play area.
Pioneer Park
Nearby Pioneer Park is a wooded sanctuary located on over 113 acres with 6.6 miles of trails. In decades past, three different proposals were submitted to replace a major portion of the park with a golf course, but in response to each effort, community members rallied in opposition. Pioneer Park remains a peaceful wooded landscape with secluded trails for exploring and enjoying the natural world.
South End Shops & Dining
Find shops and dining options in the QFC shopping center. Grab coffee at Starbucks and dinner at Yuzen Japanese Cuisine or Riviera Maya Mexican Restaurant. Oh! Chocolate, an island establishment, sells hand-crafted chocolates and other sweet treats.
