Perched on a half-acre in Bridle Trails' Cherry Crest neighborhood, this southwest-facing mid-century/ranch-style home has been lovingly stewarded by one family for 60 years. Built in 1956 with major renovations in '76, '91, & 2026, the property offers a private, park-like setting with towering firs, mature hedges, a sprawling lawn, and partial views of downtown Bellevue from both the yard and home. Double-paned wood windows flood each room with natural light. Natural-stained solid-core doors, hardwood floors, and 100% wool carpet in the bedrooms warm the home. The rec room impresses with a 15-ft exposed wood ceiling, kitchenette, storage, and thick double-paned windows designed to buffer exterior noise. A two-sided fireplace anchors the living and family rooms. The hub-and-spoke floor plan encourages gathering while preserving privacy. The family room functions like a sunroom, opening to the back patio through a wall of sunset-facing windows and French doors. The main level, including the attached garage, laundry, and patios, is all on one grade. An art studio at the rear offers potential for an ADU among the trees with city views. In 2026, updates include interior and exterior paint, cedar fencing, hardwood floors, wool carpet, kitchen, bathrooms, and a new roof. Cherry Crest Elementary, Parkside Stables, Bridle Trails State Park, Central Park Tennis Club, the Spring District, Sound Transit, DT Bellevue, and Lake Washington beaches are all within a 3–10 min drive.
