This rare street to waterfront executive estate boasts stunning views, expansive parking for 14 vehicles, a large dock capable of a mega yacht, and is set amongst some of the most valuable homes on Lake Washington. Built in 1926, this home was one of the original summer retreats on the eastside. It even served as one of the first "mosquito" fleet terminals -- if you look closely you can see some of the old pilings and the path to the beach is on the old road! In 1998 the house underwent a multimillion rennovation from the ground up that stayed true to the spirit of its original architecture, down to the double lined old growth cedar siding. No expense was spared. Further updates and improvements happened in 2016 and recently during the pandemic. From the custom wine cellar complete with leaded glass accents, to the old fashioned streetlamps, multi-terraced views, emerald green estate lawns, and old world gardens, greenhouse, leaded windows, with great friendly neighbors and Bellevue’s finest in schools, this luxurious classic estate has it all. Did we forget the beach? The 5 star kitchen with huge walk in pantry has elegant granite countertops and top of the line stainless steel appliances (Viking, Miele, Sub Zero, Thermador) all surrounded with gorgeous rich cherrywood cabinets. There are two sinks, a prep station, and an extraordinary amount of storage. The boxed ceiling and finished hardwood floors add to the overall elegance of the kitchen. The kitchen flows into the dining room that overlooks the lake with two sets of large french doors leading out to the deck. There is room for a table large enough for entertaining a group of 15. The living room is spacious with a large fireplace and beautiful views of the lake. The oversized office with two story library shelving is complete with a built in desk, two ceilings, and is perfect for that quick commute to the home office. The grand staircase is a showpiece and leads upstairs to the master suite with its own fireplace, private deck overlooking Lake Washington, huge bathroom and walk in closet. At the opposite end of the house are additional bedrooms and a large bathroom, as well as a very large room that could be used as a bonus room, artist’s studio, mega-office, pool table, dance area, or a large play area for children. With its own private bath and private entry, this room was also designed to allow the option of using it as a VIP executive bedroom or for in house support staff. The tasteful lower level could easily be set up as a mother-in-law suite and is full of light and airy with your choice of multi-bedrooms and a private entrance adjoining the solarium-greenhouse and close by easy access laundry area. In its current configuration it boasts a large media area with snack bar, bedrooms, two bathrooms, large laundry room and of course the gorgeous wine cellar. This original Medina waterfront estate has one of the largest capacity and ultimate dock systems on the lake for multiple vessels including 3 jet skis, ski boat, 3 tenders and up to a 125 foot yacht, the dock is irreplaceable and grandfathered in and built with heavy piers and planks and could not be built again in this size and configuration given the current codes. It is difficult to find lake front property in Medina and elsewhere that runs from the street to the water. The expanded parking on beautiful laid pavers allows up to 14 vehicles – a must for entertaining as Medina does not allow parking on the street. With its private driveway and dock, a true yacht capable property, extra size beachfront for cabana and firepit, and serene, this is the exquisite Medina property you have been waiting for.
