About the Listing 1401 - 71934

A rare west-facing Mercer Island waterfront legacy, this extraordinary offering presents a once in a generation opportunity to create an iconic estate. Set on approximately 28,000 square feet of private, forested grounds with 150 feet of shoreline, the property commands sweeping views of Seattle’s skyline, Seward Park, glowing sunsets, and the dynamic beauty of Lake Washington. The setting feels tranquil and secluded, yet remains moments from the heart of Mercer Island and within effortless reach of Seattle, Bellevue, Issaquah, and year round mountain recreation. A private dock supports an exceptional lakeside lifestyle with boating, swimming, paddleboarding, and long summer days on the water. The existing 3880 sq foot residence is rich in timeless character and presents an ideal candidate for a comprehensive gut renovation, preserving its soul while elevating it to modern luxury standards, or alternatively offers a compelling canvas for new construction that fully maximizes the premier west side waterfront setting. Located in one of Mercer Island’s most coveted neighborhoods, this rare property benefits from top rated schools, a strong community, and enduring long term value through irreplaceable land and views.
