6406 60th Place S

Suspended between sky and lake, this waterfront retreat captures the sensation of floating just above the water—secluded on a quiet dead-end street, yet minutes from the city. Set along 75 feet of low-bank waterfront, its midcentury modern architecture was thoughtfully reimagined in a studs-out remodel in 2022. Steel beams, clerestory windows, and expansive glass walls shape luminous spaces, drawing sky and shimmering reflections deep into the home. Custom cabinetry, heated floors, and a standing-seam metal roof bring enduring substance to the design. Beyond a private gate, a west-facing courtyard welcomes you with a heated pool and tranquil waterfall; through the front door, the lake unfolds. The kitchen, great room, and primary suite open to a sweeping waterfront terrace, extending daily life toward uninterrupted views of Mercer Island, Seward Park, Mount Rainier, and the Cascades. Lush, manicured gardens frame graceful steps to the shore and a 150-foot dock with a covered slip and lift, plus room for larger vessels and personal watercraft. From mornings at the water’s edge to evenings in the glow of the terrace fire, the setting invites both quiet retreat and effortless entertaining. An outdoor shower, two-car garage, and generous guest parking complement beautifully level grounds—a remarkable convergence of architecture, privacy, and proximity to the water, with an enduring sense of place.
