There is an ease to this home that is hard to manufacture. Set in coveted Sammamish Heights, known for its private beach access, this mid-century residence pairs original character w/a thoughtful, contemporary remodel. Light-filled interiors are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows & skylights, w/an easterly view of Lake Sammamish unfolding from nearly every room. Newly refinished hardwood floors & the original slate entry ground the home in its late-1960s character, while the open floor plan creates an easy connection to the interiors & yard. At the heart of the home, a remodeled kitchen centers around a generous 9-foot island, quartz counters, ample cabinetry, and designer lighting. Two gas fireplaces warm the living spaces, including the bonus room just beyond the kitchen. In the living room, motorized Lutron shades provide privacy & light control while beautifully preserving the lake view. A screened-in porch extends the living space outdoors year-round. The primary suite includes a private 3/4 bath; three additional bedrooms share a full bath, with a powder room for guests. The lot is fully fence and landscaped and incls. 2-car garage. Parks, trails, shopping, & major employment centers are all close at hand, w/convenient access to the Redmond Tech Station. Highly regarded Bellevue schools add to the appeal of this exceptional Eastside setting. Refined & deeply rooted in its setting, this is a home where thoughtful design & an exceptional location come together naturally.
