Property Description

Perched high above Forest Avenue in one of Mercer Island's most desirable neighborhoods, this stately, one-owner custom home enjoys sweeping western views of Lake Washington, Seward Park and the Olympic Mountains. Lovingly cared for and meticulously maintained, the home offers an exceptional floor plan designed to capture the views at every opportunity. Soaring ceilings and open living and dining rooms create a wonderful setting for entertaining, while the spacious kitchen is truly the heart of the home. Enjoy afternoon sunshine and spectacular sunsets from the west-facing deck or morning coffee on the peaceful east-facing deck. A main-floor bedroom with adjacent ¾ bath is ideal for guests or extended stays. Upstairs, the entire level is devoted to a luxurious primary retreat featuring a sitting room with fireplace, private view balcony, enormous dual walk-in closets and a dedicated home office. The lower level impresses with 12-foot ceilings, a generous great room, minibar and two additional en-suite bedrooms. Abundant storage provides plenty of room for holiday decorations, luggage and everything in between, with potential to create a fifth bedroom and additional bath. A level yard offers room for gardening and play, while the rare street-to-street lot adds to this property's appeal. An exceptional combination of location, views, thoughtful design and impeccable condition. A truly special offering!
