4140 Boulevard PlaceMercer Island, WA 98040Price: $3,100,000

Boulevard Place is one of those special Mercer Island streets, perched above Lake Washington with beautiful western views toward Seward Park and its own street-end waterfront landing. Carry down a paddleboard, take a swim or throw a ball for the dog, all just steps from home. Set high off the street to capture the view, the house is centered around an expansive kitchen with large island and pantry, open to both the vaulted great room with fireplace and a cozy family room. Hardwood floors, soaring ceilings and walls of windows fill the spaces with light. French doors lead to the west-facing, Ironwood deck where a second fireplace begs for morning coffee, an al fresco lunch or wine as the sun goes down. The primary suite and two additional bedrooms are all on the main floor for easy, nearly one-level living. The primary bath is a retreat with large walk-in shower and sauna. Downstairs, the oversized rec room has space for the sectional, big screen and a ping pong table. In addition there are two bedrooms and an office. Great storage throughout. The private backyard is low maintenance and made for fun with expansive decking, hot tub and sport court. New landscaping blends beautifully with the mature gardens out front. This coveted north end location is minutes to downtown Mercer Island and easy freeway access to Seattle or Bellevue. Every home on Boulevard Place has a story to tell. This one is ready for its next chapter.
