TWO HOMES. Over 70’ of Lakefront. Infinite possibilities. Being sold together, this is a unique opportunity to own a very special property on Lake Washington. The lower home (8668 Island Dr S), originally built in 1964, was stunningly reimagined in 2012 with clean modern lines and wall-to-wall windows framing a panoramic lake view from both floors. Main floor master with sumptuous bath and heated floors. Open flowing great room anchored by an epicurean kitchen. The lower level could serve as a self-contained MIL. Built-to-last boathouse with lift. Two garages; room for cars, toys and more! The upper home (8670 Island Dr S) is a classic 1929 brick Tudor with all of its old-world charm still intact enjoying stunning Lake and Mountain Views.

The Story.
Lovingly maintained for over 40 years by the current owners, these two homes were purchased together from the previous owner in the same fashion. Now it’s time for a new chapter. The lower home, originally built in 1964, was stunningly reimagined in 2012 with clean modern lines and wall-to-wall windows framing a panoramic Lake Washington view. Also enjoying incredible views is the upper home, a classic 1929 brick Tudor with all of its old world charm still intact.

The Opportunity.
Of the many exceptional possibilities for this property, here are a few that stand out as being the most probable for a potential new suitor.

Family Compound. You live in the lower home while parents, children, or extended family reside in the upper home. Proximity and privacy, together.

Traditional Rental. The upper home has served as a lucrative rental for over four decades, providing a steady stream of income. Continue that tradition. Even better, with a few updates you can easily add value and enjoy increased rental income.

Short-Term Rental. Lakefront homes are always highly desirable as short-term rentals. Create a wonderful Lake Washington Airbnb experience while you’re rewarded with additional passive income.

Fix and Flip. Perhaps someone in your household dreams of being on HGTV? The lower home makes for an inspiring lakefront retreat as you plan the remodel of the upper home. Between the spectacular views and the unfinished basement, there is significant upside in renovating and reselling this gorgeous Tudor.

The Location.
Annexed to the City of Seattle in 1907, Pritchard Island was in fact an island at one time. Geologically speaking, the island ceased to be an actual island in 1917 when the Hiram Chittenden locks opened and the level of Lake Washington was lowered by 9 feet. With just one way in and one way out, Pritchard Island remains a secluded community of just 73 homes, separated from the mainland by parks and greenspace. It's a unique community offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
