Some neighborhoods earn their reputation quietly. Enatai — with its wide, tree-lined streets, breathing lots, and a genuine sense of remove that’s increasingly rare this close to the city — is one of them. Downtown Bellevue is minutes away, Seattle a quick drive on I-90, light rail nearby, Sea-Tac in twenty. The home started as a presale from MN Custom Homes, was transformed through extensive customization, then handed to Brian Paquette — one of Seattle’s most recognized designers — to layer every room with warmth and cohesion. A soaring two-story great room anchors the main floor, which extends through a gourmet kitchen — Sub-Zero, 48″ Wolf range, Brizo Luxe Gold, Chevron Dolomite backsplash — a sisal-wrapped dining room, a clubby Paquette-designed den, a covered terrace with BBQ, hot tub and fireplace, and a main-floor guest suite with private outdoor access. Upstairs, the two distinct wings give the floor plan clarity. The primary wing is a private sequence — sisal wallcovering, motorized drapery, soaking tub, dual rain showers, Brizo Allaria Luxe Gold, Opalite floor to ceiling, Inspired Closets with marble island, and a guest suite in Penny Morrison Nankeen Pink. The second wing handles daily life: two bedrooms, a whimsical bath, a dedicated gym, a homework nook, and a vaulted bonus room. Solid white oak Stileline doors. Heated floors. 26 motorized windows. 3-car garage with EV charger. The result is a home where every decision has already been made, and made well.
