The most valuable luxury on Lake Washington isn’t square footage or even shoreline — it’s access.

Access to the water. Access to adventure. Access to a lifestyle that few homeowners will ever experience.

Set on 135 feet of protected, deep-water canal frontage in Newport Shores, this waterfront retreat offers something increasingly rare on Lake Washington: a private boathouse capable of accommodating vessels up to 48 feet. With direct passage to the open lake beyond, spontaneous sunset cruises, weekend escapes to waterfront restaurants and mornings spent on the water become part of the daily rhythm. It’s a lifestyle that simply cannot be replicated.

The setting is exceptional. A circular drive and true three-car garage — nearly unheard of on the waterfront — create a sense of arrival, while mature landscaping, a level lawn and expansive outdoor living spaces connect the home seamlessly to its surroundings.

Inside, the residence has been thoughtfully remodeled in a Northwest Contemporary style that embraces natural materials, clean lines and a constant connection to the water. Light-filled living spaces flow effortlessly from a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, premium appliances, a generous island, walk-in pantry and EuroCave wine fridge. Walls of glass open to entertaining decks overlooking the canal, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor experience designed for gathering with family and friends.

The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet and deck access. A dedicated office provides flexibility for work-from-home days, while the lower level expands the home’s versatility with three additional bedrooms, a recreation room and a fully equipped secondary kitchen — ideal for extended stays, multigenerational living or hosting guests throughout the year.

Outside, a rooftop deck, hot tub and waterside lawn invite year-round enjoyment, whether watching boats drift by in summer or taking in a quiet winter sunrise over the canal.

Residents of Newport Shores enjoy access to a vibrant waterfront community with a yacht club, tennis courts, swimming and social events, all just minutes from Bellevue, Seattle and Sea-Tac.

Rare Lake Washington frontage is coveted. A private boathouse of this caliber is something else entirely.
