Recently repriced - one of the more accessible Lake Washington view opportunities in Lower Kennydale right now. Step inside and the lake takes center stage, water shifting from vibrant blue to golden sunset, with the Olympic Mountains stretching across the horizon. Walls of windows carry that view through nearly every room. The layout works as hard as the view does. A/C, a large fenced yard, and a garage with workspace cover the everyday needs, while the daylight lower level - complete with its own family room, bedroom, three-quarter bath, and kitchenette - opens up real flexibility for guests, extended family, or added income potential. Upstairs, over 1,000 square feet of rooftop deck turns this into a home built for entertaining, not just living in. Minutes to I-405, The Landing, Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, and Eastside trails, this one's hard to replicate.
