Last 10 Homes Available in Downtown Bellevue Condominium

Downtown Bellevue: the city of haute couture, destination dining and shiny new high-rise towers.  And quiet residential living? Only when you break away from the east side of downtown and head west to Main Street where you’ll find charming, locally owned boutiques and cafes. There you’ll find One Main Street Condominiums, the residential alternative to high-rise living in Downtown Bellevue, where Meydenbauer Bay beaches, Downtown Bellevue Park, Lincoln Square, Bellevue Square and the shopping and dining of Main Street are at your doorstep.

One Main Street is the hassle-free alternative to high-rise living with just 57 homes in a high-quality concrete-and-steel boutique building in the quiet, walkable Main Street neighborhood where you will feel right at home. With only 10 homes remaining for sale, now is the time to visit One Main Street.

"Homes in Downtown Bellevue continue to be in high demand," said Trisha Quigley, the community sales manager and broker with listing firm Matrix Real Estate. "We sold 26 homes at One Main Street in 2011. With only 10 homes left, we anticipate the demand will only increase until we are sold out."

Our smallest available home is the elegant and efficient open one-bedroom City Suite, a home with a separate bedroom nook divided from the main living space by glass sliding doors. This home has all the features of our largest homes including air conditioning, garage parking, hardwoods throughout the main living area, a fully tiled bathroom and a gourmet kitchen complete with German-engineered cabinetry, slab natural stone countertops and stainless steel appliances with gas cooktop. Great for people who want a simplified lifestyle or are seeking a second home in the city. The model home is available for your tour, and this home style starts at $299,900.

If you need more space to stretch out, the largest of our remaining homes is a one-bedroom home with den and two full bathrooms. The den is a separate nook with sliding glass doors features abundant closet space and room for a guest bed, plus this home also has a private master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a huge walk in closet, making this home ideal for someone needing a home office or space for overnight guests. Two homes are available like this, starting from $379,900.

Other home plans offer one bedroom, one bathroom plus a powder room for your guests, starting at $349,900. All homes are approved for 3.5% down FHA financing.

Mercato Stellina, Welcome to the Neighborhood

Their website might still say "coming soon," but we can verify: the doors just opened for the new Mercato Stellina at One Main Street Condominiums in Bellevue, which we originally reported about in July.

Stellina is Bellevue's new Italian deli and corner market, located in the retail space formerly occupied by the One Main Street sales office at the southeast corner of the building. It's just a few doors down from the restaurant by the same ownership team, Cantinetta East.

The open hours will be Monday through Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. (closed Sundays). There's a big communal table to share if you want to eat in, but the focus is on lunchtime and dinnertime take-out: meats, cheeses, Italian wines, fresh pasta and espresso.

Here's a sneak peek:

Garden and Art Lovers Take Note

Bellevue's annual event for lovers of gardening and fine art, Art in the Garden, takes place this weekend at the Bellevue Botanical Garden on Friday and Saturday. This free event combines the gardens in bloom with sculptures and garden art scattered throughout the park. Ciscoe Morris will also make a special appearance Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Large private patio from home 401

If your love for plants and gardening is being choked out by an overgrowth of yardwork chores, One Main Street Condominiums might have a great compromise for you - our oversized decks are perfect for your green-thumb container gardens. Most homes have private patios that are larger than those found in your average condo. Some are sun-splashed for hot-weather flowers and tomatoes; others are mostly shady for beautiful fern gardens or lettuce.

Our homes and patios are open for your visit, including several model homes, from Saturday through Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 10000 Main Street, Bellevue. Stop by after you visit the Botanical Garden this weekend. Or call Trisha Quigley, 425.452.6246 for more information.
