One of the last of Mercer Island's modest cabins, used for generations as an island getaway, is being offered for the first time in nearly 40 years. Less than a block from the treasured Groveland Beach Park, this home lives like a vintage lake house. The large wrap-around deck and corner windows bring out the beachy vibes, while the awnings, half-light doors and breezeway add nostalgic touches that feel like vacation. The relatively large kitchen, efficient layout and covered deck allow this to be a year-round proposition. The 480 SF garage appears mid-century built, on a large slab with gas heat and power door lift. The house still needs some love but has a fresh coat of paint in and out, new carpet and the roof is about a year old. Major redevelopment in this location has huge potential and it's perfectly rentable through the permitting process. With a little investment, this could be a cherished guest house or weekend cottage in lieu of ADU/DADU. Literally a few minutes away from sunset walks along the only western-facing beach on the island. Groveland Beach Park feels like a summer camp with its 3 acres, water access, a swimming area and a dock. Plus there are picnic and play areas. Seattle and Bellevue are each less than 20 minutes away. You may have found your Mercer Island home or at least the spot to build it.
