Set on a total of 1.27 acres, that consists of two separate parcels, this private mid-century modern estate offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and location that are just minutes from Downtown Bellevue, Redmond, and Lake Sammamish. Tucked beside Weowna Park with direct access to wooded trails, and the Phantom Lake Loop, the setting feels remote while remaining close to every-day amenities, major shopping, and local employment centers. Nearly 5,000 square feet of living space is defined by vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and timeless mid-century architecture, with four fireplaces adding warmth and character throughout. The layout offers flexibility for multi-generational living, home offices, or creative use, and presents a compelling opportunity for thoughtful updates or long-term investment. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a private pool, hot tub, expansive decking, and a cabana with kitchen—creating a resort-like setting surrounded by mature, park-like landscaping. With secluded distance to neighboring homes, privacy here is both noticeable and rare. A distinctive property offering land, scale, and upside in a highly sought-after Bellevue location. Dual parcels, classic architecture, fantastic “Bones”, and strong fundamentals combine to create a unique opportunity for buyers seeking privacy, character, and value-added equity potential.
