THE HOUSE
Rarely does a property combine this scale, setting and view. From its elevated Woodridge position, take in an unobstructed panorama stretching from East Bellevue and downtown Bellevue to the Olympic Mountains and Seattle skyline, with protected views that preserve this remarkable outlook. Set on a large lot, the spacious home offers an opportunity to update and customize around your lifestyle and vision. Flexible living spaces, a large level backyard and multiple outdoor areas create possibilities for entertaining, multigenerational living and everyday life. All within one of Bellevue’s established neighborhoods, minutes from downtown, Factoria, I-90 and I-405.
THE STORY
29 YEARS OF BELLEVUE LIFE
The view and the neighborhood were what first brought the seller here. What followed was nearly three decades of making the house work better for everyday life. Walls were opened. Windows were replaced. Outdoor spaces were created. Trees and gardens matured. Patios and walkways became part of the landscape. Major systems were improved over time.
But the seller’s strongest memories are less about renovation dates and more about what those improvements made possible. The home became a place to entertain inside and outside. Furniture stayed on the patios and deck throughout the year. The backyard fire table became a natural gathering place. Summer brought another tradition: watching fireworks from the deck and seeing the Blue Angels overhead during Seafair.
As life evolved, the home evolved with it. The lower level offered the flexibility to accommodate changing needs, visiting guests and extended family while providing valuable separation between living spaces. Beyond the home, the seller enjoyed a neighborhood where schools, pools and trails were close at hand, with easy connections to downtown Bellevue and Seattle. After 29 years, perhaps the home’s greatest strength is how naturally it has adapted to different chapters of life.
Now, it offers the next owner the opportunity to shape it around their own.

WOODRIDGE & BELLEVUE
Quiet when you want it. Connected when you need it.
Woodridge offers a compelling balance of neighborhood character and Bellevue convenience. Tree-lined streets, mid-century homes, community pools, parks and wooded trails create an established residential setting, while downtown Bellevue, Factoria and major transportation corridors remain minutes away.
The Advantage of Location
Woodridge puts much of the Eastside within easy reach. Downtown Bellevue offers employment, dining, shopping and entertainment, while nearby Factoria handles everyday conveniences. I-90 provides direct access toward Mercer Island and Seattle, and I-405 connects communities throughout the Eastside.
At the end of the day, return to a quiet street framed by mature trees. It is this combination of connectivity and neighborhood setting that has made Woodridge an enduring Bellevue address.
