7000 82nd Ave SE has had few upgrades since it was first built in 1964—and neither has its Mercer Island neighborhood around it, so it’s still trees, water, and a Downtown Seattle in the view to the west. This home’s take on the classic sloping ceiling tilts diagonal, so the wall of windows wraps around a corner for plentiful light in the living room.
While the house has some changes here and there, charming period details still remain, like pendant light fixtures and a statement fireplace with wood detail. While the kitchen’s had some (not too recent) upgrades, it doesn’t look like anybody took a sledgehammer to it: it still has a semi-closed layout with stacked ovens and a cooktop.
Not everything in here is from the 1960s—what appear to be some pretty straightforward updates appear in the bedrooms and bathrooms especially—but with fully-intact bones, incredible siting, and plenty of original finishes to get you started, this would be great home for a handy midcentury enthusiast to take over.
