(This house is available for 30+ days or for shorter stays. Please contact host :) Large open-plan home tucked in the fir trees with a beautiful view of the golf course. So close to Downtown Bellevue and a short walk to Kelsey Creek and Wilburton Hill Parks. Gourmet kitchen, lots of windows and dbl doors that open on to a beautiful deck overlooking hole #12 of Glendale Country Club. The space As a professor at the University of Washington, I attend several conferences throughout the year (most summers June-Sept I am traveling) . While I am away, I thought it would be nice to offer my house for rent. I'll leave some of my books and articles around the house for your reading pleasure (or if you can't sleep :) The living room, dining room, and kitchen area is a large open space with vaulted ceilings and impressive territorial views. For more space, on warm days/nights the double back doors swing outward to allow easy access to the deck. The master bedroom, guest bedroom, and office/3rd bedroom (all upstairs) have been recently remodeled with refinished floors, new ceilings, and updated furnishings. Both bathrooms upstairs have been totally remodeled and updated. The 4th and 5th bedrooms downstairs have also been refreshed and updated. Guest access Guests will have access to the entire main level (2500 sq feet), 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, mud-room, garage, as well as the downstairs family room.

The hot tub can also be accessed via the back door off of the family room downstairs. Front door access has no steps. Entering through the garage has 2 steps. Table tennis (ping pong) can be set up and played in the garage.

There is no central AC in the house. We do have portable AC units that we use upstairs in the summer. With the trees and the cooler PNW temperatures, fans have worked fine.
