Inside Bellevue's Grandest Chateau, a 1.5-Acre Clyde Hill Estate with Panoramic Lake and City Views

Clyde Hill is one of those idyllic settings that captures the timeless allure of the Pacific Northwest—lush greenery, waterfront estates, glimpses of the Seattle skyline across the water. The exclusive enclave is also no stranger to grand estates that embody the very essence of a life well-lived.

Enter this magnificent French-inspired chateau resting on1.5 acres just minutes from downtown Bellevue.

The gated estate commands attention right from the start with sweeping vistas of Lake Washington, the Seattle skyline, and the Olympic Mountains. The breathtaking backdrop provided an ideal place upon which to set a 7,738-square-foot residence. Originally built in 1993, the manse was recently reimagined to perfection during an extensive three-year renovation that retained its classic architectural elements and European craftsmanship into our modern era with contemporary luxuries and state-of-the-art technology. The result is a five-bedroom masterpiece where sophisticated living and entertaining can take place in meticulously designed living spaces.

A private sanctuary unfolds beyond the interiors. A resort-caliber pool beckons for leisurely afternoons, while a tennis/pickleball court invites friendly competition. Immaculate gardens, designed with symmetry and beauty in mind, create a serene oasis that makes one feel worlds away, despite its close proximity to Bellevue. A charming pavilion provides an idyllic setting for gatherings and celebrations, further enhancing the estate's mystique.

No wonder why listing agents Terry Allen and Darius Cincy call it "a rare offering" and "a legacy of distinction in the Pacific Northwest."
