Wonderful location with huge usable yard for this Mid-Century home! You can see the 2 car carport & part of the circular driveway. Lots of extra off street parking too off to the right of the carport. Grass color enhanced
The west facing side of the house. There is a private deck off 2 of the 3 main floor bedrooms. Please use caution on this deck. it is NOT CHILD PROOF. (Grass color has been enhanced)
The south part of the yard with the 12x23 deck. Ideal for dining outside or just relaxing. Lots of space for outdoor games; croquette, badmintion and boccci ball. With easy access to the deck that is slightly above the yard, it is ideal for entertaining and BBQ's. Of just relax and enjoy the mature landscaping.
The living room has large, south and west facing windows, giving you that light and airy feeling. There is a peek view of the Olympic mts and you can enjoy the colorful sunsets.
The living room flows into the eating area, allowing you to extend the eating area as large as you'd like to for special occassions. Piano can remain with the house. The door in the photo is access to the deck and back yard.
The living room is spacious enough for a variety of furniture placement. The wood burning fireplace adds ambience to the space.
This kitchen is open to the eating area. There is additional counter space and cupboards you will see in other photos that offers additional working and storage space that expands the kitchen space.
Looking from the eating area into the kitchen. Beyond the door in the distance is a surprisingly useful pantry area that has cupboards and additional counter space, thus expanding the kitchen.
This is the pantry area off the kitchen allowing you lots of storage for things that might not fit in the kitchen. Place your non essential kitchen items in here. Just a few steps away from the kitchen. To the right, not seen in this photo is the washer and dryer, a laundry sink and storage closet. (see next photo)
Here you can see the laundry area with a large sink and closet. This shows how close these cupboards and counter are to the kitchen. It's very handy to have the laundry room on the main floor so you don't need to carry it down and back upstairs.
The full bathroom with the original yellow tile and tub.
The spacious, primary bedroom with access to the west facing deck. How nice to allow fresh air into the room during the day and / or for sleeping. The mid century paneling and closet doors are original. This is the only room known to have hardwood floors under the carpet. This room fits a California King size bed with additional space for dressers or other furniture.
The primary bedroom looking towards the 3/4 bath. These walls were freshly painted
Original tile, sink and vanity mirror in the primary bathroom. A great opportunity to create a primary bathroom you would love.
One of the 3 bedrooms on the main floor. This one also has access to the back deck. The original knotty pine wall remains adding charm. How would you redecorate this room?
The middle bedroom on the main floor. Another chance for you to redecorate this space to make it your own.
This basement room was used as a bedroom although thers is no closet. A portable closet was outside the room. The closet is no longer in place. This could be a home office, library, craft room or anything you'd like it to be.
The lower level 3/4 bathroom. Currently the shower is not usable. It would be easy to expand this bathroom if you wanted to because the wall on the right side backs up to an unfinished area of the basement.
This is the other side of the bathroom in the basement. You can see, expanding or redesigning the bathroom is possible because the area is unfinished. Of course the city would need to approve a permit for your intended plans.
Located on the lower level is a very large rec room. This is only about half of the room. Might be an option to add a kitchen if you wanted to to create an M-I-L or ADU.
There is a wood burning fireplace and plenty of space for mutipile uses here.
More of the large rec room. The paneling seen thru the doorway the back of the photo leads to a door to the back yard.
Another angle of the rec room. So much potential with this large space.
More of the spacious rec room on the lower level.
This room is located behind the fireplace in the rec room. The shelves reamain with the house. The antique pump organ, originally from St Monica's is negotiable.
Part of the unfinished basement. Potential or a lot of storage space? One needs to have vision or access to someone who could help design the space to make it a home you would love. Some people may prefer to start over with new construction becasue of the fabulous lot and location. Either way, a 16,675 sq ft lot (according to tax records) that is mostly usable, so close to so many places is hard to beat.
Excellent storage spaces in the unfinished area of the basement.
These shelves were awesome for storing decades of family treasures and items over the 60+ years the owners lived here.
The oil furnace is still in use. There was gas to the house several decades ago however the owner preferred oil heat.
An overview of the lot size and location. The photo has been edited to better show the circular driveway. If you prefer to have a garage, there is space to build one. Or you could enclose the carport to easily make a secure parking area.
The main floor plan. I added lines to show the approximate location of the 2 car carport.
The lower level floor plan of the home. If you are willing to take on a project property, there is a lot of potential upside here for a main residence, investment property or start over with new construction. If you are considering a long term home on Mercer Island consider the options of this property.
Come explore the potential here. Bring your contractor, builder, designer and consider your options for the amazing property. The lot is approx 145' x 115'. Whether your repair, remodel or build a custom home, there is a lot of potential here. (Grass color has been enhanced)
Another view of the south part of the yard. So much space! Gardening, pets, games, relaxing or? Not many homes offer such a large usable yard. Fenced on 2 side. (Grass color has been enhanced)
Enjoy sunsets from the deck with peek Olympic Mtn views
You can see how the deck overlooks the yard. It's an awesome place to hold outdoor parties and BBQ's or relax and unwind with an ice tea to lemonade. Mature landscaping includes Rhody's, Mock Orange bush, Lilacs, Hydrangeas, fir, holly, pine tees and other plants help make the house and yard mostly private. In the spring you will love all the blooming shrubs.
The north entrance to the property from circular driveway off Carol Ln. RV parking & plenty of offstreet parking for guests, your car collection or other vehicles. If you don't care for extra parking, build a garage, a shop or a DADU(if permits allow) or turn part of the space into a garden or patio or something else to suit your needs. You could also consider tearing everything down and design and build a tottaly new home on this fabulous lot. Walking distance to highly rate elementary school, MI high school. library and more.
