Perched above Lake Washington in Seattle's coveted Lakeridge enclave, this distinguished residence does not merely offer views, it orchestrates them. Panoramas of Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Seattle skyline, and snow-capped Cascades unfold from virtually every room across three masterfully designed levels. Wrought iron and brick frame your arrival. A private elevator serves all three floors. The open-concept main level delivers a chef's kitchen with granite counters, full glass tile backsplash, and stainless appliances, anchored by a fireplace living room and formal dining all wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass that makes the view the permanent centerpiece. Reserve the entire upper floor for yourself. The penthouse primary suite features a dedicated lounge, French door office, two private balconies overlooking the Seattle skyline and lake, a bedroom-sized walk-in closet, and spa bath with jetted soaking tub, steam shower, and double vanity. A sanctuary without compromise. The lower level great room opens to a private, fenced outdoor retreat complete with an al fresco kitchen, premium hot tub, and level entry access. A finished, oversized two-car garage with custom flooring completes the estate. The infrastructure matches the aesthetics: 50-year Presidential roof, updated A/C and water heater, Milgard windows with lifetime warranty rebuilt to custom luxury standards in 2003 and meticulously maintained since. Ten minutes to Downtown Seattle. A world away from ordinary.
