Sited on a private, beautifully landscaped, level 3/4+ acre property in Bellevue's popular Whispering Heights neighborhood, this 5 bdrm/2.75 bth, 3373 sq ft Craftsman charmer is as rare as the Hope Diamond in an equally stunning setting. Enjoy a remodeled, sun-kissed chef's kitchen w/quartz counters & walk-in pantry, a spacious living room bathed in natural light and a large dining area and family room. Plus the perfect floor plan for anyone and all ages with that elusive "age-in-place" set-up: a bedroom+den+full bath all on the main level. On the lower level you'll find 4 more bedrooms and 1.75 baths while upstairs is a huge bonus/media room w/vaulted ceilings. Fantastic features include RV parking, 2-car garage, outstanding sprinkler system, tankless hot water, gleaming hardwoods, tons of storage and just minutes to Town & Country Market and highly sought after Cougar Ridge Elementary. The Iconic, estate-like grounds: 2 parcels totaling 33,946 sq ft of private, fully-fenced lawn, garden, play & entertainment areas: An enormous deck for even the largest gatherings, a professional-grade basketball/pickleball/shuffleboard sport court with THREE NBA quality baskets, a high-masted street light to continue the fun into the evening and a row of bleachers to cheer on players, a dedicated firepit for s'mores & hot dogs, a hidden tree-house for kids and kids-at-heart, raised garden beds, limitless garden space, an apple tree & cherry tree.
