Property Description
Set on 1.27 acres across two tax parcels, this private mid-century modern estate offers a rare combination of space, seclusion, and location just minutes from Bellevue and Lake Sammamish. Tucked beside Weowna Park with direct access to wooded trails and the Phantom Lake Loop, the setting feels removed while remaining close to everyday amenities and major employment centers. Nearly 5,000 sq ft 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 multigenerational 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 generous 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, and strong fundamentals combine to create a unique opportunity for buyers seeking privacy, character, and value-add potential. Please note: Most Real Estate Marketing Websites include the value of only one of the two tax parcels, the one this home sets on.
