About This Property

Rare opportunity to create your own waterfront oasis on the coveted South End of Mercer Island. 55 feet of lakefront and an existing private dock and exceptional views of Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier. 10,300 sq. ft. mostly level lot. The cute, 2 bedroom 1940's cottage is 1,260 sq. ft. needs work but with a new roof and some updates and maybe an addition would make a nice home!

Enjoy the great view from the dock or from the large deck. Award winning Mercer Island schools and close to South End amenities. Contact your agent to view the property.
