Created By: Bona Fide Bellevue
The 1928 Tudor Revival home of Val and Molly Pennington is eclectic and charming. Come on in and see this welcoming home at the entrance to Bellevue!
The original owners of the home enjoyed some wealth, and the home was state of the art for the period. The current owners have added their distinctive touches throughout the house with updates that honor the past and collections that create an interesting and embracing home for their family.
You’ll enter into the foyer which is the hub of the home and is affectionately referred to as “the rotunda”. The curved staircase includes a quaint niche to hold precious mementos and has the perfect natural wood bench tucked into its arc.
Set your eyes on the original beamed ceiling, elegant fireplace, and built-in cabinetry as you enter the spacious living room. Access to the remainder of the first floor can be found through arched French doors.
The delightful kitchen features original tile, with cabinetry and a cozy breakfast nook that were updated in the 1960s. It all feels incredibly modern given their vintage. Stroll outside and enjoy the secluded backyard with its stone patio and rock garden terrace spanning the length of the home. An in-ground water feature offers an oasis of tranquility.
The second floor landing leads to three more of the five bedrooms and a getaway in-home spa designed and built by Molly and Val. The onyx tile and rustic wood vanity create an elegant but earthy retreat.
The third floor leads to more charm — a bedroom, office space, and every crafter’s delight — a room dedicated to creating!
Before you leave, visit the lower level 1950s entertainment space with its curved banquette and vintage southwestern mural, complete with cactus and riders on horseback.
