6924 96th Avenue SEMercer Island, WA 98040Price: $2,850,000

Beautifully connected to light, nature and an expansive Lake Washington view, this midcentury modern home is something truly special. Vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows fill the interiors with sunlight, while warm hardwood floors and a dramatic floor to ceiling stone fireplace preserve the character of its original design. The living and dining rooms are open and inviting, with a spacious family room just off the kitchen. Sub Zero and Wolf appliances, slab quartz counters and a generous center island make the kitchen a natural gathering place. The primary suite feels like a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, built ins, a soaking tub and doors to the wraparound deck. From here, you can see the Seahawks training facility across the water, then head downstairs to the large bonus room to watch the game. A dedicated alcove creates an ideal work from home office. The bedrooms are generously sized, including a second bedroom with an en suite bath, while another lower level bath is conveniently located near the bonus room. Even the laundry room offers space for crafts or creative projects. Outside, enjoy year round grilling, entertaining, gardening and a view that changes beautifully with the light. Private, distinctive and wonderfully located near south end schools, clubs, shopping, parks and trails.
