only 10 possible out of 800 waterfront offerings - that is how rare this offering is. Sylvan Reach combines two parcels, two waterfronts in a once-in-a-generation waterfront holding on southwest Mercer Island encompassing 200 feet of southwest-facing Lake Washington shoreline across over 3/4 acre from street to water, featuring three docks, two homes, and a log cabin. This extraordinary two-parcel offering delivers rare scale, privacy, and long-term potential. The low-to-mid bank waterfront includes a 65-foot deep-water yacht moorage, a swimming dock, and a 30-foot boat dock.
