Fir Trees, View, and Private Luxury. so close! | House in Bellevue
5 Bedroom House in Wilburton, Bellevue
(This house is available for 30+ days or for shorter stays. Please contact host :)
Large open-plan home tucked in the fir trees with a beautiful view of the golf course. So close to Downtown Bellevue and a short walk to Kelsey Creek and Wilburton Hill Parks. Gourmet kitchen, lots of windows and dbl doors that open on to a beautiful deck overlooking hole #12 of Glendale Country Club. Hot tub on property for guest use.
The space:
As a professor at the University of Washington, I attend several conferences throughout the year (most summers June-Sept I am traveling) . While I am away, I thought it would be nice to offer my house for rent. I'll leave some of my books and articles around the house for your reading pleasure (or if you can't sleep :)
The living room, dining room, and kitchen area is a large open space with vaulted ceilings and impressive territorial views. For more space, on warm days/nights the double back doors swing outward to allow easy access to the deck. The master bedroom, guest bedroom, and office/3rd bedroom have been recently remodeled with refinished floors, new ceilings, and updated furnishings. Both bathrooms upstairs have been totally remodeled and updated. The 4th and 5th bedrooms downstairs have also been refreshed and updated.
Guest access:
Guests will have access to the entire main level and the downstairs (2700 sq feet). The main level includes: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a mud-room, and a garage/gym. The 3rd bedroom upstairs is actually an office that can be used as bedroom (an extra twin roll-away bed are stored in the guest bedroom closet). Downstairs includes: a family room, 2 more bedrooms, and a bathroom. There is available parking in the driveway and on the street.
There is a large deck in the back and covered front porch seating as well. Use of the grill and hot tub (lower patio) are included. Stairs down to the hot tub are located off of the back deck. The hot tub can also be accessed via the back door off of the downstairs family room.
Front door access has no steps. Entering through the garage has 2 steps. Table tennis (ping pong) can be set up and played in the garage. Currently, due to the closure of our local gym we have set up a workout room in the garage . . . bench press, squat rack, GHD machine, dumbbells, etc. Guests are welcome to use the workout room.
There is wifi and a Sonos system (music/Pandora/etc.). Over the fireplace in the living room, there is a 55 inch Sony flat screen TV (Comcast). For lovers of vinyl records, the living room includes a turntable and a selection of records. Downstairs there is a 65 inch Sony TV in the family room. Grab a drink, open the back doors, put on an album, and experience the pacific northwest.
There is no central AC in the house. We do have portable AC units that we use upstairs in the summer. With the trees and the cooler PNW temperatures, fans and portable AC units have worked fine.
