There are a handful of streets on Lake Meridian that locals talk about differently, and the Gold Coast is at the top of that list. Calm water, no wake, and lots that almost never change hands. My newest listing at 25860 136th Avenue SE sits right on it: nearly 100 feet of low bank waterfront on a shy acre, with a 100-foot dock and the area’s only double floating dock.
Let me walk you through it.
The Waterfront Life, Actually Built Out
Plenty of lake homes have a view. This one has the whole system. You step off the main level onto more than 1,200 square feet of new MoistureShield decking with cable railings, so nothing blocks the sightline to the water. There’s a ThermaSpa hot tub on the deck, a fire pit down at the shoreline, and a level lawn running to the dock. Because this stretch of Lake Meridian is a No Wake Zone, the water in front of the house stays calm. Swim off the dock, paddleboard in the morning, kayak in the evening, tie up the boat in between. On clear days you get Mount Rainier over the water.
Inside: Almost 4,000 Square Feet That Lives on the Lake
The house is a remodeled Cape Cod with four bedrooms, four baths, and ceilings that open the main level all the way up. Five French doors face the lake, so the water follows you from room to room. Three fireplaces. Custom built-ins. Wide luxury vinyl plank underfoot.
The kitchen got the full chef treatment: Thermador appliances, a professional range with a wok burner, double ovens, granite counters, beverage refrigerators, and an oversized pantry. It’s set up for the person who actually cooks, not just for the photos.
The primary suite is its own retreat. Lake views from bed, heated tile floors, a spa-style walk-in shower, a custom walk-in closet, and a gas fireplace for the gray months.
Then there’s the upstairs: a real theater with a projector and a 10-foot screen, plus a bonus room. Movie nights, game days, teenagers. It handles all three.
The Part That Surprises People
Waterfront homes are usually short on the practical side. Not this one. The detached garage comes with a workshop and flex space, an EV charger, and RV hookups. The solar panels are owned, not leased. There’s a sports court, and the grounds are planted with mature pear, Cosmic Crisp apple, blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry. Roof, HVAC, and water heater are all newer. No HOA.
That combination matters. It means the next owner gets the lake lifestyle without signing up for a project list.
The Bottom Line
Lake Meridian waterfront trades rarely, and Gold Coast frontage with a dock this complete trades almost never. The home is finished, the systems are newer, and the outdoor living is already built.
Offered at $2,599,000. We’re holding an open house Saturday, July 4, from 12 to 2. Come walk the dock and see the water for yourself. If you’d rather tour it privately, message me directly, and if you’re a lake or south King County owner wondering what your own waterfront is worth in this market, reach out at ronnywilson.com. That’s a conversation I’m always glad to have.
