About this home
Picture-perfect traditional in the south-end's desirable Mercer Ridge. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt with a brand-new addition in 2017, this two-story lives like new. A gracious two-story entry opens to a formal sitting room, dining room, and great room, with rich hardwoods running throughout the main floor. The chef's kitchen anchors it all: crisp white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, stainless appliances, and a built-in window seat. The mud/laundry room is the true hub of the house, island and all, ready for crafting, homework, or play. French doors lead to an enormous, fully fenced, pancake-flat backyard built for pick-up ball games, water balloons, and long summer BBQs. Out front, dinner-plate hydrangeas bloom in July and the front porch looks out on a friendly, connected street where impromptu cookouts and sprinkler runs are the norm. Upstairs holds 4 bedrooms plus a dedicated home office with a bright, green, tree-lined backdrop. The romantic primary suite pairs a built-in window seat with a luxe bath and timeless finishes. Roof, plumbing, wiring, central air, and Hardie siding all date to the studs-out 2017 rebuild, along with a full sprinkler system across the level, professionally landscaped grounds. Tranquil setting with an easy stroll to Pioneer Park, QFC Village, Island Park Elementary, and the clubs (MICC, MIBC); the Mercer Island Beach Club and its summer swim meets sit just minutes away. Move-in ready, well cared for, and truly built to be lived in now....
