About this home

Welcome to Fern Cottage. Tucked into the coveted Ferncroft neighborhood, this charming 1935 home began life as one of Mercer Island’s original vacation cottages. But don’t be deceived by this home’s humble origin and modest footprint. As big views of Lake Washington and the eastern mountains quickly take center stage, you begin to understand the potential of Fern Cottage. Picture windows frame the sweeping views, while an oversized stone fireplace, beamed ceilings, and French doors to the brick patio and outdoor studio space anchor the home’s timeless charm. Explore the nearly half acre lot, with its various types of flora, including 200-year-old Douglas Fir trees, and a winding path down to the babbling creek. You will feel as if you have stepped back in time when you enter this special place. But when you sit on the over-sized deck, watching the eagles over the lake and listening to the creek, you will begin to imagine a future of endless possibilities at Fern Cottage.
