A charming lakeside cottage home with scenic views over Lake Washington

This beautiful lakeside cottage home was designed for entertaining by Ripple Design Studio, located in the Enatai neighborhood of Bellevue, Washington. Inspired by a small cottage previously occupying the site, the project challenged the architect’s creativity to blend a sophisticated cottage with the site’s complex requirements.

Nestled into the hillside, the home maximizes the breathtaking lake views. Throughout the interior, you’ll find detailed millwork and soft wall coverings, creating a warm, cohesive atmosphere from the grand entrance. The thoughtful landscaping extends to the water’s edge, where a cabana, resembling a mini-version of the home, provides a more relaxed setting for entertaining overnight guests.

Ideally located along Lake Washington, this home is well positioned into the hillside to soak in the serene views from the backside of the property. We are especially loving the charming guest cabana that is ideal for hosting overnight guests with its comfortable spaces and perfect positioning next to the water.
