Lake Hills Updated Rambler

welcome home
Tucked onto a south-facing lot in Lake Hills, this updated mid-century rambler does something rare in Bellevue at this price: it's already finished. Bright, single-level, walkable to one of the Eastside's quietest park-and-village corners, this home has everything you'd want for a price you can actually afford. Daylight pours through large floor-to-ceiling windows onto refreshed hardwoods. Vaulted ceilings open the main living areas. The kitchen and bathrooms have been updated with modern finishes. Three bedrooms and 1.75 baths sit on a single level, with a fenced backyard meant for gardening, entertaining, or letting the dogs run. The two-car garage (recently updated) offers ample storage, with additional parking in the driveway. A 165 sq ft detached outbuilding in the backyard adds a flexible second space, ready to use as a shop, home office, studio, gym, hobby room, or ludicrously luxurious storage. And just steps from the back gate, Evergreen Park starts where the lot ends. A Lake Hills home that's ready to live in from day one, in a top-rated Bellevue School District, with Downtown Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle all an easy drive away.

MOVE-IN READY
You can focus on unpacking because this home is already done, no work needed. Updated kitchen and baths. Crawl space cleared with new insulation and vapor barrier. Interior repainted in 2020, recently refreshed. New hot water tank in 2023. Garage updated with a double-door conversion and a structural refresh. Air-conditioning to keep you cool when the sun warms your heart. All systems serviced and important inspection items addressed pre-listing. This is the kind of foundation that lets a buyer walk in and just live.
THE SETTING
The lot faces south, which transforms the way the home feels through the day. Daylight reaches deep into the living areas through large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the front lawn opens up the kind of garden potential that's hard to find on a Bellevue corner like this. Out back, Evergreen Park sits just past the property line. Kids and pets are a few steps from open green space, and the streets nearby are tree-lined and quiet.
LAKE HILLS
Central Lake Hills is the rare walkable Eastside neighborhood, and this corner sits right in the middle of it. Lake Hills Village restaurants are a short stroll away (YGF MaLaTang, Brunchbar, and Shabu Shabu Kyoto), with Crossroads, Factoria, and Bellevue Square all quick drives. Phantom Lake Elementary and Tillicum Middle are both under ten minutes on foot, in the top-rated Bellevue School District. You can have the kids at school and be back before your coffee gets cold. Lake Hills Greenbelt, Weowna Park, and Crossroads Park surround the neighborhood with trails and sports fields, and I-90 and SR-520 put Downtown Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle all within an easy commute either way.
THE HOME
A single-level mid-century rambler, fully updated and easy to occupy. Hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and oversized windows define the main living areas. Three bedrooms and 1.75 baths sit on one floor with no stairs to navigate. The kitchen pairs modern finishes with an open layout built for gathering. The fenced backyard handles pets, kids, and weekend hosting in equal measure. The attached large garage connects via covered breezeway to the home, with additional parking in the driveway. A detached outbuilding in the backyard adds a flexible second space (shop, home office, studio, gym, hobby room, or additional storage) that's hard to find at this price point.

What people are saying
SEE ALL
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Central Lake Hills is the Eastside neighborhood that has held its character. Streets are tree-lined and quiet. Neighbors know each other. Parks are plentiful, with picnic tables, open lawn, and the kind of casual open space that makes a Saturday morning easy. A short walk north drops you into Kelsey Creek Center, where La Chingona Mexican Cuisine, Tutta Bella Neapolitan Pizzeria, and O'Bop sit alongside neighborhood essentials. Lake Hills Greenbelt connects to walking and cycling trails. Weowna Park offers wooded paths above Lake Sammamish. Phantom Lake Elementary and Tillicum Middle School both sit under a ten-minute walk away, both in the top-rated Bellevue School District (one of the highest-ranked districts in Washington). This is the kind of neighborhood that rewards walking, with a real Eastside-quiet quality you don't find closer to Downtown Bellevue.
GETTING AROUND
Lake Hills is the literal center of the Eastside. I-90 and SR-520 are both minutes away, putting Downtown Bellevue, Redmond, and Seattle all within an easy commute. Microsoft, Nintendo, and the rest of the Redmond corridor are a short drive north. Crossroads, Factoria, and Bellevue Square sit short drives from the door. Lake Sammamish is close enough for an after-work paddle. King County Metro routes serve the corridor, and the Bellevue light rail extension opens new transit options across the Eastside. The home itself sits set back on a quiet residential block, but the access it gives you to the rest of the region is genuine: the perfect balance of access, solitude, and value at this price point.
HOME FEATURES
Single-level rambler living, fully updated. The main living areas open up with vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that pull daylight deep into the home throughout the day. The kitchen pairs modern finishes with a layout built for cooking and gathering. Three bedrooms and 1.75 updated baths sit on one floor, with no stairs to navigate. The two-car garage was recently updated with a double-door conversion and a structural refresh, and it connects to the home via a covered breezeway, with additional parking in the driveway. Beyond the garage, a detached outbuilding sits in the backyard, ready to use as a workshop, home office, studio, gym, hobby room, or storage. That kind of flexible second space is genuinely rare in this price band on the Eastside. Out back, the fenced yard is ready for entertaining, gardening, or pets. A handful of refreshes are recent (interior repaint in 2020, new hot water tank in 2023, refreshed landscaping), and all systems, including air-conditioning, were inspected before listing.
MOVE-IN READY
The story of this home is what's already been done. The crawl space has been cleared and rebuilt with new insulation and a fresh vapor barrier. The front-yard trees have been removed to open the property and let the south-facing exposure work the way it should. The landscaping is clean, easy, and ready for your expansions. The pre-listing inspection has been reviewed, and items have been addressed by trusted local trades. For a buyer in this range, that combination of work being done and the home being livable from day one is the difference between stress and satisfaction.
WHAT NEIGHBORS SAY
It's a fantastic place to raise a family. We feel safe and everything we need is just minutes away. When we were looking for our home, we didn't think we could afford to live in the Bellevue School District. Finding our charming little mid-century rambler in Lake Hills was such a pleasant surprise. Lake Hills really is the best "bang for your buck" neighborhood in Bellevue.
