Bellevue: Posh with a little Smoky Chipotle on the Side

This posh pad was discovered during my recent excursion into Medina (see my previous post for more on that). Forgive my rooftop photo of the house. I should have chimped before I split. This is the view from the street, at the top of the driveway, looking down. Click the photo to see better images.

Everything was super high-end glam here, as you can imagine. Some standouts for me were the art glass accents throughout the first floor and the master walk-in closet which was so big, I thought it was another bedroom. My unexpected favorite feature: an outdoor covered deck with fully tricked out barbeque headquarters. Through french doors (surrounded by windows), you can leave the dining room and head out to this year-round, livable outdoor room. It felt very Florida or southwest to me. A great way to ignore the rain and simply enjoy the outdoors, barbeque sauce and all.
