6560 163rd Place SEBellevue, WA 98006

The approach alone sets the tone, a home that carries the quiet grandeur of an English country estate, grounded firmly in the Pacific Northwest. A circular drive winds through manicured hedgerows and a landscaped central island, mature trees enclosing nearly an acre of grounds that have the quality of something cultivated over generations. The interior receives you warmly, coffered and beamed ceilings climbing above a great room where a stone-surround fireplace glows and expansive windows dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Just beyond, a chef's kitchen centers on a marble island beneath iron lantern pendants, a Wolf range and panel-ready appliances completing a space that invites as much as it performs. A sun-drenched breakfast nook wrapped in glass transitions naturally to a formal dining room where a built-in wine display quietly signals the quality of evenings spent here. On the main floor, the primary suite occupies its own wing, a custom dressing room giving way to a soaking tub and marble shower clad in veined stone, French doors opening directly to the flagstone patios, where a pool and elevated stone spa with cascading spillover and fire pit at the water's edge sit privately among layered garden plantings that hold the evening long after the sun has gone. Three-car garage and dual laundry. Built for people who notice the difference between grand and merely large.
