About this home
Renowned Pacific NW Architect Reid A. Morgan’s own home, lovingly built in 1965 offered for sale for the first time. The design of this home launched Morgan’s esteemed, storied career. Originally thought of as Pacific Northwest Contemporary, his design aesthetic is now broadly considered Mid-Century Modern. As a 10-time AIA Award winning architect, this home as well as three other Mercer Island home designs earned the AIA Seattle Times Home of the Month award, one of which was featured in House Beautiful Magazine. Many beloved Mercer Island homes bear the same architectural namesake. Let the thoughtfully designed, vaulted covered walkway and private patio welcome you to its secluded inner sanctum of spacious comfort, unmistakable quality, & timeless design. Period details include exposed wood beams, commanding fireplaces, clean visual lines, and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. One-level living if desired, with all bedrooms, laundry, and expansive deck on the main floor, plus additional family room with a fireplace + rec room/den on the lower level. Enjoy peace of mind with a recently replaced roof, carpet, kitchen appliances, interior/exterior paint, & well-maintained systems. This home is ready for the next generation of homeowner. Highly desired North End setting just steps from Homestead Field and Tennis Courts, close to town & light rail station. Convenient to both Bellevue & Seattle commuting. Top-ranked Mercer Island schools, with elementary school just blocks away....
