About Pippa Carson
I am a Licensed real estate broker and REALTOR. When I'm not selling homes, I enjoy paddle boarding, hiking, mountain biking, good food and great wine. I always have a trip planned and love getting away to other magnificent parts of the world. I am originally from South Africa and after graduating from university I lived in Europe, Mexico and then here in the USA. In my early working years I did international government negotiations which was the foundation of her adventurous and successful sales career.
I bought this quaint home due to its fabulous location. At the time I as working in an office in downtown Bellevue. I lived here myself and loved being able to walk to work in the morning and to the movies and dinner in the evening. Despite being so close to the heart of the city, I would enjoy peaceful weekends in the large yard feeling like I was miles from the noise! I enjoy the area so much with the incredible hikes, mountain biking, skiing and city culture all at my fingertips. It's no surprise that my husband, children and I still live in the area and have done so for many years. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Pippa Carson purchased this house in 2001
Why Pippa Carson chose Bellevue
The location is so ideal that we enjoy using it ourselves once in a while!
What makes this house unique
Having a quiet relaxing day at the house followed by a slow walk down main street to enjoy the vibe of the evening and the wonderful restaurants is one of our favorite things
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Pippa,
We wanted to say, "Thank You!" for allowing us to stay at your vacation home in Bellevue. The location was perfect. The setting was exactly what we needed, quiet and secluded, yet very accessible to freeways and the activities we set out to accomplish.
We also appreciate the extra touches you put into the place with the high chair, protective floor mat, and "pack and play" for our youngest son.
We also used the Netflix feature while we were there.
Our oldest son also greatly enjoyed the accommodations, and his pull out bed was the ideal spot for him to hang out and let our 1 year old be with him too.
You have done a nice job updating the place, and you helped to give us some great ideas for own place back in Portland. :)
Lastly, we hope you enjoy your stay in Mexico at Chad's vacation house in February. It is a beautiful place, and well worth the trip.
Thanks again for everything!
Warm Regards,
Michael and Noriko

Wonderful!

Nice home for a week
Pippa's home is very nice and had everything we needed. Clean, comfortable, close to downtown Bellevue. Could use a lot of pruning around the front walk and driveway. A bit of a hazard at night. Missing a few light bulbs in the kitchen/living room. The glass tray in the microwave is broken and has a very sharp edge. The beds are extremely comfortable which is rare in a rental. I would definitely stay here again.
Thank you Pippa for an enjoyable week, considering my circumstances.
Wonderful experiece
We had a mix up with our rental, and contacted Pippa last minute, and amazingly this property was available. I was so stressed, and she was so helpful. The property is beautiful, and the landscaping gorgeous. My children (adults) got to stay longer than we did (unfortunately) but I loved everything about this property.
Very comfortable and consistent with the description.
We were 4 adults with a 4 and 1 year old children. The property made the one week family visit very comfortable.
Check in was simple, Pippa provided needed written instructions in the home as well as in the confirmation notice.
Pictures and description was right on with reality. Easy access to downtown and major highways & streets.
Good local restaurants, I recommend the Mediterranean Grill.
Having a highchair and children toys available was very helpful. The floors were so clean that we let the baby craw around.
We could not have had a better stay in a expensive hotel.
Welcome bottle of wine was well appreciated since we arrived late.
Thanks Pippa
Felt like home while on business in Bellevue
Half the price of a hotel while feeling at home. This home is only a 5 minute uber ride to downtown or a short walk if you don't mind a few hills. Terrific patio for coffee in the morning, quite and peaceful setting while being right in the heart of downtown Bellevue. The house was spotless on arrival and the host was accommodating to our every need. Downtown Bellevue had a wide selection of dinning and shops for relaxation and a short 20 minute drive to Seattle for dinner and site seeing made for a terrific business stay. I will be booking this same house on my next trip, for the value and location it cannot be beat.
Fantastic location, great find!
I really enjoyed my stay here. The house had 3 good sized bedrooms and one bathroom. It was immaculately clean and had everything you would need for a short or long stay. The appliances were all top notch and the beds super comfortable and the house very nice and warm. The location is fantastic, easy walking to downtown Bellevue or a 2 minute drive. I would definitely stay again. Thanks!
Rough start, happy ending.
This would have been a five star review, please read on for details. Our group of 5 adults, myself and husband, my parents (85 years old) and my sister all rented this house together for my younger son's wedding. We needed a one level home for my parents and this fit the bill perfectly and was close to my son's home. We had traveled all day from MN to Seattle and arrived at the house at 9:15 pm. Unfortunately, the house had not been cleaned from the previous guests. We did see a check on the counter for the cleaning service so we know it was scheduled to be cleaned, but it was not ready for us at all. We contacted Pippa and she immediately apologized and came over to the house. She did clean the house that night, but it was much too late for us to consider staying there. We did return the next day and did enjoy the rest of our stay. You never feel quite the same after an initial bad impression, but Pippa did do all she could to make it right including refunding the first nights stay. We would recommend this house and Pippa for any other guest.
Map
Staying here will put you in the heart of the action but give you the quiet of a double dead end street. It's about the closest you can get to the shops, businesses and restaurants but still have a yard and complete, quiet privacy. There is public transport a few blocks away that can take you just about anywhere although for convenience, we still recommend you have a car. Down town Bellevue is an up-market zone where shops like Nieman Marcus parallel those found in Paris. But there are regular grocery stores and inexpensive restaurants mixed in with the up-market ambiance. For a bit of the 'Old Bellevue' (with huge ambiance), take a stroll up Main Street to the original Bellevue of small shops, fabulous French Bakeries and coffee nooks where the locals have lunch.
