About This Home
Opportunity knocks on nearly one-third acre of level grounds in Mercer Island’s desirable First Hill neighborhood. Love the existing mid-century rambler with period details such as a masonry fireplace, genuine hardwood floors, natural wood built-ins, and a detached garage with shop/bonus room...OR level it and build your dream home with pre-approved and permitted plans for a stunning 4,000+ square foot modern farmhouse! Either way, you’ll benefit from the serene setting and easy access to the Island’s vibrant downtown restaurants, shops, parks, farmer’s market, and more. Just minutes from Seattle or Bellevue via I-90. Top-rated schools and easy access to upcoming light rail make this a smart investment and an incredible place to call home.
