One of a Kind…This iconic Mercer Island estate offers breathtaking East facing Lake Washington vistas and seamlessly blends the charm from its original 1934 construction with modern amenities and exceptional custom updates. The historic main house offers a dramatic primary suite that spans the entire top floor, convenient main floor guest suite plus 2 additional bedrooms in the daylight basement. The storybook 1/2 acre+ grounds feature a tranquil creek with footbridge, generous lawn space, gardens and meandering pathways to appreciate this private setting. The detached carriage house also enjoys the same jaw dropping views and includes a full kitchen plus 3/4 bath-a perfect space for out of town guests, work from home or live-in au pair.
