Custom floating steel and oak stairs descend to the second level where high ten-foot ceilings, water views everywhere, and an easy-living floor plan create a desirable bedroom level. A big, airy foyer invites you to all the rooms on this level. The elevator opens onto it and past the bedrooms is a large, bright laundry room featuring ample built-in cabinetry, long quartz countertops, a tile floor, room for everything, and partial lake views from the window. A multi-purpose bonus room is just past the laundry room. The master suite serves as a true waterfront retreat, with a floor-to-ceiling linear stone fireplace and a private deck. The walk-in closet accommodates every need while the spa-like en suite is adorned in Calacutta marble. There are two secondary lakefront bedrooms on this level—one with a deck—that share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
Moving down to the lake level of the home, true waterfront living opens onto a high-ceiling bonus room with a stone fireplace wall, built-in cabinetry and the space one needs for grand gatherings. A convenient kitchenette with a full height refrigerator, convection microwave oven and dishwasher are an entertainer’s delight, while guests appreciate the powder/changing room when preparing for some fun in the sun. There are two lakeside guest bedrooms on this level, with a well-appointed bath, a large second laundry room with storage, mechanical room, and the elevator. Move outdoors into a state-of-the-art entertaining area with room for summer barbecues and cocktail parties. The lake level deck is complete with an outdoor shower area, sunny entertainment space, and full-length lighted steps bringing one to the spacious, level lawn. Play a friendly game of bocce ball in the yard or roast s’mores around the granite gas firepit.
The new, large dock accommodates deep-water moorage and serves as an excellent launch pad onto the best water sport location on Lake Washington. There are a total of six above ground decks to enhance outdoor living comprised of low maintenance TimberTech. Quality construction throughout affords a multi-layer stucco exterior with rain screens and elastomeric coating, two high-efficiency gas furnaces, dual air conditioning units, hydronic floor heating on the lake level, high-tech wiring, generator ready, hot and cold exterior water spigots, and more. This home will truly serve its steward with a refined lakeside lifestyle in a bright and sunny south-end location with easy access to amenities, play fields, parks, shopping, and award-winning Mercer Island schools.
