5 Sold Washington Waterfront and Luxury Homes from Mercer Island to Yakima

Along the water’s edge on Mercer Island, this bespoke residence captures 100 feet of west-facing Lake Washington frontage with a rare, one-of-a-kind terrace perched directly over the water—an indoor/outdoor setting designed for entertaining that could not be built today. French doors and folding windows dissolve the boundary between al fresco life and the warmth inside. A studs-up remodel in 2016 spared no expense and introduced a separate carriage house, while materials bring a sense of provenance: limestone and sandstone imported from a quarry in France, and floors reclaimed from a 16th-century Italian monastery. Outside, specimen gardens frame the shoreline, complemented by a dock with covered slip. Modern convenience is quietly integrated through an Elan Smart Home System and a full-home generator, with a front-row seat for Seafair.

Inside, the kitchen, family room, and sunroom form an easy rhythm, with French doors extending living space outdoors. A tucked-away two-desk office supports work and study. Four bedrooms sit upstairs, including the primary suite and one with a dramatically vaulted ceiling, with a fifth bedroom and large play room in the fully finished basement.
