Lake Washington waterfront homes comprise the largest number of Seattle area waterfront properties. Although the prices are generally high, there are a few gems right now that are still in the price range of "mere mortals".
On the North end of Lake Washington, there is one home in Kenmore and two homes in Matthews Beach that are listed under $1 million. The Kenmore home has 62 feet of gently sloping waterfront, while both Matthews Beach homes have quick dropoffs, meaning deep water, docks, and easy boat launching from your back yard. This neighborhood still seems undervalued, in my opinion.
On the South end of Lake Washington, Rainier Beach is the star of the affordable waterfront listings. With homes at $640k, $700k, $800k, and $850k, there are plenty of homes with lakefront docks that don't reach the pricing heights of the majority of the lake.
Over in Bellevue's Pleasure Point, there's a small 2 bedroom home on the lake with 50 feet of waterfront and a 50 foot dock listed near $900,000. Checking in at just under $1 million, there is a cozy cottage in N. Renton's Kennydale neighborhood. This home has 161 feet of waterfront - unheard of.
To find the deals on Lake Washington, you really have to know the intricacies of the different areas. Each city and neighborhood has its own unique qualities - give us a call if you need any help.
