Lake Washington Waterfront in Cedar Park

When Seattle's popular waterfront communities are discussed, quiet communities like Cedar Park are many times overshadowed by the excitement at Alki Beach or the waterfront dining in Leschi. While these communities have a great combination of entertainment and waterfront living, many homeowners would prefer a more secluded lifestyle, with a separation between their residential neighborhood and the bustle of traffic and tourists.

Cedar Park provides some of the best privacy on Lake Washington's waterfront, without the need for a gated community. Just a few blocks from major arterials into the city, the waterfront homes are accessed by a winding, narrow road that's only travelled by locals. With no through traffic access, Cedar Park doesn't get the sightseeing congestion that might clog the streets of Alki on a sunny summer afternoon.

Waterfront homes in Cedar Park are many times built partially upon pilings in the water, as is this home on Edgewater Lane. The home's foundation extends from the land out onto the water, allowing for walls of windows on the sides of the home that are literally above the lake. This is true waterfront real estate, with a dock serving as your back porch and the ability to fish "Beatles at the Edgewater style", out of your window if desired.

The home was originally built in the late '70s and was fully remodeled in 2005 for a contemporary feel with double-height vaulted ceilings in the living room, skylights, and a gourmet kitchen opening up to the family room and views of the lake.

Step out the back door, and you're standing on the new wrap-around dock with a swim platform. With convenient moorage for a sailboat or a runabout, you could skip the traffic and make it a water commute across the lake in the morning.

A garage is a must for most waterfront home owners, and this two-car garage was built for the car collector, with a pristine finish including a fully-tiled floor. With additional parking outside for up to four more cars, space for entertaining guests is not an issue.

 

The 75 feet of Lake Washington waterfront allows for the home to stretch along a wide portion of the lake. This creates plenty of deep-water moorage for multiple watercraft, including the current boatlift and space for another.

This home is the essence of low maintenance, laidback living on the lake. Enjoying the "quiet end" of Lake Washington and still having quick access to downtown Seattle makes the home a perfect full-time residence for a Seattleite, or a great vacation getaway. At its recently-reduced list price of $1.495 million, it's one of the least-expensive homes on the lake that has truly high-quality interior finishes, and needs no improvements to move in. Waterfront in Seattle hasn't been this inexpensive in years - get on the water while you can.
