This one-of-a-kind Seattle Lake Washington property is available for only the second time in its more than 80-year history. The mini-estate setting has 93 feet of curved waterfront nestled at the street end of the close-knit Pritchard Island Community. Relish one of the most expansive natural lake views of Seward Park and Mercer Island. The northern exposure hosts both sunrise and late-day sun to illuminate the lawn and dock throughout Seattle’s summers.
The legacy property underwent a significant renovation in 2005, which added an impressive second floor including 180° lake views, 3 bedrooms, a primary suite, and a guest bath. The primary suite features a cathedral ceiling, sitting room, double bathroom, sunlit copula with opening windows, and a balcony for quiet morning tea or evening cocktails.
The main floor features a marble-filled kitchen, a formal dining room, a lake-view office, a built-in library, and an elegant living room. The spacious lower level is complete with a guest suite, entertainment room, studio space, and an expansive laundry room. Recently added French doors bring beautiful daylight and easy access to the yard, lake, hot tub, and summer breezes. The designer boathouse adds a touch of elegance, perfect for hosting, use as an office, or storage for boats and supplies. The dock features 75ft of lakeside enjoyment, featuring two boat lifts, a launching platform, and deep-water moorage. A secluded hand-laid stone patio provides the perfect sanctuary for summer lunches, tea, and basking in the afternoon sun.
This property will be fondly remembered by its owners who are seeking its next stewards. It has hosted as many as 100 for dinners, holidays, and weddings. For more than 80 years this property has been a place for play, relaxation, and a lifetime of family memories. Explore its history and add your chapter.
