Waterfront Condo
This three-bedroom, 2,800-sq-ft condominium home represents a rare opportunity on the shores of Lake Washington. It offers the ease of a carefree condominium lifestyle and two floors of beautifully appointed living space. A level waterfront lawn with a terrace affords an inviting setting for outdoor living and entertaining as well. A noteworthy amenity for those who yearn to live on the water is a private dock with two designated yacht slips.
The condominium is located in three-story building in an idyllic setting near the Leschi Marina. Built in 1986, the structure has a sophisticated exterior with stucco walls, a mansard-like metal roof and gated entry courtyard. Interiors feature fine architectural detailing, luxury finishes and plantation shutters on windows. An enviable corner location provides the home abundant light and breathtaking views of the lake, Cascade Mountains and Mt. Rainier.
An open floor plan on the entry level embraces the formal living and dining areas and a kitchen – one of two in the unit. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace with a traditional mantel, built-in cabinetry for media equipment and glass display shelving. East wall windows bring in expansive water and mountain views and also look down on the lawn and sitting area at the water’s edge. Sliding glass doors on the north wall open to a Juliet balcony that overlooks the neighboring park and marina. The nearby dining area enjoys a verdant territorial vista.
The kitchen has Carrara marble counters and dark-stained wood cabinetry with abundant storage space and special pull-out features. Stainless steel appliances include a Frigidaire electric range with convection oven and stainless steel hood, Jenn-Air refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, GE microwave and Perlick wine cooler. Floors in main level dayrooms are hardwood.
Two of the home’s bedrooms are situated on the main level, including a master suite with built-in cabinetry, a walk-in closet with built-ins and a full marble bath. The master bath is equipped with a jetted platform tub, shower and double vanity. The second bedroom, situated near the entry, is served by a three-quarter marble bath. Also located on this level is a utility room with laundry facilities, a work sink and hot water heater.
A dramatic circular staircase with wooden treads and iron balusters in the living room leads to the lower level and a library with walls lined with dark-stained wood shelving. A four-panel window brings in lovely water and mountain vistas. A big family room on the lower level enjoys views as well. It has a wood-burning fireplace, built-in cabinetry and access to both the lakefront lawn and a side terrace. The third bedroom is situated on the lower level. It has French doors to the terrace and mirrored closet doors. The lower level is served by a full bath with a jetted platform tub, shower and double vanity. This level also affords the convenience of a second full kitchen. This kitchen features raised panel traditional cabinetry and tile counters. Appliances include a GE side-by-side refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and stainless steel electric range and microwave, both by GE. A door in the kitchen provides direct access to a secured garage, where there are three designated parking spaces and three storage units. There is abundant storage space on both levels of the home as well.
The building is located just south of Leschi Park and Marina. The 18-acre park features manicured grassy areas, exotic trees, pathways and a tennis court. The picturesque marina is the heart of Leschi, a popular lakeside neighborhood that also offers several restaurants, coffee shops and other amenities.
