Seldom does one find a home as rare as this. Nestled on a private half-acre lot in Bellevue's coveted Compton Trails neighborhood, this storied estate offers thoughtfully imagined spaces as well suited for day-to-day life as they are for posh entertaining. Customized throughout with lovely details and boasting 5,165 square feet of living space, this legacy home has five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Framed by lush, well-manicured landscaping, a sense of grandeur begins at the circular drive, framed by blooming cherry trees. A tranquil water feature greets and extends beneath the porte-cochère and welcomes one into the home. Three architectural turrets provide a pleasing balance and allow ample natural light inside, while three levels of entertaining decks and covered terraces outside are set against the lovely tree-lined Bridle Trails greenbelt. The kitchen affords ease in everything from daily meal prep to grand celebrations. Custom cherry cabinets, a large center island, rich green granite surfaces, stainless steel appliances, a porcelain room and a walk-in pantry are just some of its many highlights. Notably, a nearly 8-foot expansive kitchen window frames the breathtaking view of the greenbelt. An open concept unfolds into an eat-in area with deck access for casual meals and a living room with a cozy fireplace for quiet weeknight gatherings. Guests will love gathering for grander dinner parties in the formal living and dining space, where a delectable meal and great conversation comingle with the warmth of a second fireplace. When it's time to wind down, retreat to the upper level and into a sumptuous master suite complete with a private fireplace, a turreted sitting area, and a generous walk-in closet. The en suite bath transports one to a calming spa, with heated floors, a limestone shower, a jetted tub and a private sauna. There are three additional bedrooms on this level, as well as a second full bath boasting convenient dual sinks and a water closet. An upper loft library and seating area is well suited for catching up on emails, and the room's custom built-ins provide plenty of storage and organization. The stunning architectural sunburst window provides ample natural light and views of the treetops. A fully finished garden level, with multiple windows to let in the daylight, provides a warm and inviting space to relax or casually entertain. With a massive fireplace, bartender's bar, a 1,000-plus-bottle wine cellar, built-in seating, and a luxe home theater. An adjacent private yoga studio and full bath--with outdoor access--can be envisioned as a fitness center, artist's studio, or generous private quest quarters. Additional features of the home include an attached three-car garage for the hobbyist with built-in storage and worktable. The grounds are designed for year-round color, graced by fruit trees, garden spaces, and magical pathways ready for exploration and a moment of respite. This tranquil Bridle Trails neighborhood offers community tennis courts, play fields and proximity to top-rated Bellevue schools. The 482-acre Bridle Trails Park is five minutes to downtown Bellevue and Kirkland. Equestrians and pedestrians alike enjoy 28 miles of trails with show arenas nearby.
