THE DORFFEL HOUSE
4 bedrooms | 3.5 Bathrooms | 4,190 sqft
Nearly a century later, this distinguished brick Tudor has maintained its commanding presence. Designed in 1928 by noted Seattle architect William J. Bain, the three-story residence is set above Lake Washington with sweeping views of the water, Bellevue skyline and Cascade Mountains.
Inside, beautifully proportioned formal rooms, tall ceilings, original window seats and preserved period details create an unmistakable sense of character. The kitchen opens to a light-filled breakfast room and comfortable family room, with an easy connection to the private back garden. Four bedrooms include a spacious primary suite and a private top-floor guest retreat, while level driveway access and a two-car garage add rare everyday convenience.
A landmark-caliber home that feels both storied and eminently livable.
