Some homes are built to impress. This one was built to endure. Thoughtfully designed by renowned architect Curtis Gelotte and expertly crafted by Bender Chaffey, this custom residence has been cherished by its original owners since the day it was completed and is now offered for sale for the first time. Perched high above Mercer Island's storied Forest Avenue, the home enjoys sweeping western views across Lake Washington to Seward Park, while a rare large, level yard and expansive entertaining decks create an effortless connection between home and landscape. Soaring ceilings and walls of glass invite natural light deep into the living spaces, changing with the seasons and the time of day. Every line, proportion, and material was carefully considered, creating a home that feels as timeless today as it did when it was first imagined. Formal and informal spaces unfold naturally, balancing grand entertaining with comfortable everyday living. There is a quiet confidence to this home. Nothing feels excessive, yet every detail reflects exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design. It is a home that rewards careful attention, revealing new details with every visit. Rarely does a residence of this caliber, designed by one of the Northwest's most respected architects and built by one of Mercer Island's premier builders, become available. More than a home, it is a legacy property, created with intention and ready for its next chapter.
