An iconic Ralph Anderson mid-century modern, beautifully reimagined for modern living. Honored with two renovation and design awards, including the Rex Award for Historic Remodel Excellence, this architectural residence blends timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship. Walls of glass and skylights flood the home with natural light, creating a seamless connection to the lush, private surroundings. The designer kitchen anchors the home with custom cabinetry, Dekton countertops, Miele appliances, a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, and an expansive butler's pantry, flowing to inviting living and dining spaces designed for gathering and everyday living. The main level offers four additional bedrooms and a well-appointed laundry room with dog wash station. Upstairs, a spacious family room and tranquil primary suite feature a custom walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath with Victoria + Albert fixtures, Ann Sacks tile, and a soaking tub. The lower level offers a rec room, private office, workshop, and storage. Extensively renovated with new windows, roof, plumbing, heating, repaved driveway, flooring, and interior and exterior paint. Two gas fireplaces showcase original stone reclaimed from historic Pioneer Square. Covered Trex deck, terrace patios, wood-burning sauna, and two-car carport with Tesla charger and storage. Moments to top-rated schools and neighborhood trails, this is a truly extraordinary home where timeless design, modern luxury, and nature exist in perfect harmony.
Ellis Pond, located between I-90 and the Mercer Island Town Center, is a residential and lakeside Mercer Island neighborhood with a wooded shoreline and pocket-park calm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the loop of 84th Ave SE near the Ellis Pond open space, where joggers, dog walkers, and evening strollers trace the water’s edge under tall evergreens. Homes lean Northwest contemporary and classic mid-century, with decks and large windows oriented to trees and water. Short blocks and greenbelts create a quiet, walkable rhythm. For a cultural anchor, Mercer Island Community & Event Center and the Mercer Island Library set a civic tone, while Island Books and Mambo Italiano bring local flavor to errands and meetups.
