Each week, we’re featuring one Seattle-area home that we think is interesting, inspiring or just a downright feast for the eyes. Some of them are actually on the market, while other homes will offer enviable style tips–courtesy of their ingenious owners or designers–that you can steal for your own abode.

In this week’s edition, we’re heading east to Mercer Island where this 4,327-square-foot, ultra-modern home has just recently popped up on the market for $2,699,990. And it’s a looker: The four-bedroom, four-and-three-quarter-bathroom abode has eye-catching hardwood floors, custom sculptural steel-and-hardwood stairs, top-notch appliances (think Wolf and Sub-Zero), and an open floorplan that says “throw a fabulous bubbly-fueled party immediately.”

If it’s a view you’re seeking, then this property is your bag. The home’s two covered decks–one off of the main floor and the other off of the second floor–boast vistas of Lake Washington and Bellevue. And we’re loving the two attached garage options for storing whatever vehicular toys you’ve managed to accumulate over the years.


The custom steel staircase lends a hint of an industrial feel to the contemporary space

Natural light floods each room, including the kitchen where a window sits in place of a backsplash. Also worth noting in the kitchen are the sleek quartz countertops and ample space for casual seating options. Feeling more formal? There’s a sizeable dining room–again, with loads of light–that’s a sublime spot for enjoying a grand feast. Take a look below for even more photos of the Mercer Island property:


In the kitchen, which is open to the living room, you’ll find Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, ample casual seating options, European-style cabinets that are soft closing and a pantry in which to store your bounty of farmer’s market scores


The sheer amount of space in this area calls for swank, into-the-early-hours parties


The light is divine in the dining room


A covered deck off of the living room brings the outdoors in


Who wouldn’t want to wake up to these vistas?


The master bathroom comes fully loaded with a large shower, freestanding tub and expansive vanity


It’s like your own private resort–b.y.o cabana boy


Your enviable view of the city

This modern manse will no doubt get scooped up in a flash. After all, Mercer Island boasts incomes second only to Medina, and as we noted in our March 2014 issue, “families move here for the well-funded, high-achieving schools” and its “downtown core hums with new development and new boutiques and restaurants, giving grateful islanders fewer and fewer reasons to leave.” That’s as good of a reason as any to take a look stat.
