Bellevue Remodel and Addition

Bellevue, WA - A modest home in the Enatai Beach area of Bellevue is transformed into a substantial family home with style


Located in a neighborhood where many homes are being torn down and replaced with new homes, this owner expressed a desire to keep the original home and work it into a substantial remodel and addition. 

Because of its appearance on the exterior, this home was affectionately called ‘the double wide’, but on the interior the home suffered from what many homes from the 1960’s suffer from: 1) stairs in the wrong location and 2) an overly large fireplace that blocked the best views from the home. To allow enough budget for a 1500 square foot addition to the home, the remaining portion of the home needed to remain close to the existing floor plan.  Arranged in a ‘reverse’ floor plan, the home’s main level houses the kitchen, dining, den, and master suite in the existing home, and a new vaulted ceiling living room in the new addition.  A large entertaining deck with covered patio (with skylights and gas connection) is located above the new two-car garage.  On the lower level are three kid’s bedrooms and a bathroom in the existing home and new family room in the new addition.  A new sky lit stair sits between the addition and the existing home, in the location where a massive fireplace used to be.
