515 lake street south 102

Picture your day here: morning coffee on the patio with the water just beyond the rail, an afternoon that begins by stepping onto the dock and out on Lake Washington within minutes, and an evening that ends with the sky going gold and pink. That's the rhythm of life on the lake. This ground-floor one-bedroom is a rare chance to actually live on the water — the lake wrapping to the west and north, and a double patio at its edge with room to spread out and entertain. Direct dock access makes boating and paddleboarding a walk out your door, and inside, the home has been beautifully updated, bright and easy to live in. What wins you over is how effortlessly it all comes together: a private pool right on the lake with water views and boats rocking gently at the dock. The everyday details are handled, too — in-unit laundry, dedicated kayak storage, and covered assigned parking. And you're just one block from downtown Kirkland — waterfront dinners, wine walks, and the farmers market, all an easy stroll away. This isn't just a home on the water. It's a front-row seat to the life you've been picturing.
