Not all custom homes are created equal. This one was built by the owner, a custom builder, and it shows in every detail. This 4-bed, 2.5-bath home is positioned in Mercer Island's East Seattle neighborhood, the island's most coveted location, just one street from the water, with 4 waterfront parks nearby. I90, Town Center, light rail, Seattle, and Bellevue are minutes away, and top-rated Mercer Island schools round out an address that's as connected as it is private. The moment you arrive, the covered front porch welcomes you to a space that invites you to slow down. Built well above typical construction standards: vaulted ceilings, skylights, 2 gas fireplaces, hardwood floors, custom tile baths with radiant heat, AC, and instant hot water at every tap. The quality goes well beyond what's visible. Check out the full detail sheet available. Speakers are hard-wired throughout, including the back deck, all independently controlled. French doors open to multiple outdoor living spaces, including a private balcony off the primary suite. The backyard is a true private retreat: a custom water feature, raised garden beds, plumbed gas BBQ deck, and a peek-a-boo lake view that opens further in winter. 2-car garage, exterior storage, and generous built-ins mean there's a place for everything. Every summer, nearby waterfront parks offer front-row SeaFair Blue Angels and hydroplane viewing. Built with intention in every detail, you feel the moment you walk through the door. Welcome home!
