Some homes have space. Some have character. This home refuses to choose. Inside, it’s serving character and updates. We’re talking beautifully refinished inlaid hardwood floors, high ceilings, pocket doors, oversized windows, exposed brick, and four decorative fireplaces bringing warmth, texture and a sense of craftsmanship you don’t often find. The main level flows the way you want it to with an open connection between the kitchen and family room that works just as well for a quiet night in as it does for hosting. A thoughtfully designed addition adds first-floor laundry (because convenience matters) and opens to a large deck, ready for outdoor dinners or relaxed evenings. Did someone say outdoor movie nights? Upstairs, the primary suite offers its own full bath and not one, but two closets, giving you space to spread out. Two additional bedrooms round out the second floor, while the attic flex space gives you two more rooms to do whatever you want with—guest space, office, game room; you name it. And, then, there’s the lot! A rare lot and a half means you get both a side yard and a backyard, plus raised garden beds if you’re feeling ambitious. Off-street parking? Got it covered with a new parking pad for two cars. With its blend of original charm, thoughtful updates, and an easy connection to everything Bellevue has to offer, this home strikes that hard-to-find balance between character and everyday livability.
