Timeless Mercer Island living in a peaceful, private setting. Set back on a near half-acre lot with a private driveway, this meticulously maintained home offers space, privacy and a serene Pacific Northwest retreat. A courtyard entry with fountain welcomes you inside where formal living and dining rooms, hardwood floors, an epicurean kitchen, and a wraparound deck create effortless spaces for everyday living and entertaining. Quality double-glazed wood windows and doors create a connection between the inside and the expansive grounds. Enjoy partial lake and Olympic Mountain views, plus a flexible layout with four bedrooms and three full bathrooms. Steal away to your main-level primary bedroom with a luxurious five-piece bathroom en-suite, walk-in closet, and private access to the deck. The lower level offers two oversized bedrooms (with walk-in closets), a full bath, recreation room, built-in study area, laundry, and bonus room. The private garden feels like an outdoor living room, complete with raised planting beds and a cabana-style shed matching the home design. Updates such as a newer furnace, air-conditioning unit, and hot water heater provide comfort and peace of mind. Award-winning schools and easy access to both Seattle and the Eastside complete this peaceful island retreat.
