4548 Island Avenue NE

Timeless East Coast Architecture Above Rich Passage ~ On the market for the first time, this beautifully established 1.25-acre property enjoys elevated water and Cascade views from nearly every room. A wraparound covered porch, balanced elevation, and professionally designed gardens introduce a residence shaped by craftsmanship, privacy, and architectural pedigree. Inside, warm hardwood floors, substantial millwork, and a columned entry establish a tone of enduring quality. The spacious kitchen with large center island, custom cabinetry, butler's pantry, and bright breakfast nook opens to comfortable living and dining spaces, while multiple French doors lead to a covered view deck for year-round outdoor living. The main-level primary suite opens directly to the deck and water views, complemented by a vaulted bath with soaking tub, dual vanities, and separate shower. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share an open landing ideal for reading or work. The walk-out lower level enjoys water views and offers a large rec/media room, den/office, and ¾ bath, along with direct access to the covered patio and meandering gardens. Above the detached two-car garage, an 800 SqFt studio/guest suite features vaulted ceilings, kitchenette, half bath, and private balcony with Mt. Rainier views. Tucked along a quiet dead-end street near Lynwood Center, Gazzam Lake Preserve trails, and just 10 minutes to town and ferry, this is a rare offering of timeless architecture and gracious island living.
