Bellevue, WA – October 13, 2026
The approach alone sets the tone, a home that carries the quiet grandeur of an English country estate, grounded firmly in the Pacific Northwest.
A circular drive winds through manicured hedgerows and a landscaped central island, mature trees enclosing nearly an acre of grounds that have the quality of something cultivated over generations.
The interior receives you warmly, coffered and beamed ceilings climbing above a great room where a stone-surround fireplace glows and expansive windows dissolve the boundary between inside and out.
Just beyond, a chef’s kitchen centers on a marble island beneath iron lantern pendants, a Wolf range and panel-ready appliances completing a space that invites as much as it performs. A sun-drenched breakfast nook wrapped in glass transitions naturally to a formal dining room where a built-in wine display quietly signals the quality of evenings spent here.
On the main floor, the primary suite occupies its own wing, a custom dressing room giving way to a soaking tub and marble shower clad in veined stone, French doors opening directly to the flagstone patios, where a pool and elevated stone spa with cascading spillover and fire pit at the water’s edge sit privately among layered garden plantings that hold the evening long after the sun has gone.
Three-car garage and dual laundry. Built for people who notice the difference between grand and merely large.

Colin Darrymple – After attending the University of Washington, Colin spent time traveling before returning to Seattle to begin a career in construction. While he enjoyed the work, he discovered that his true passion wasn’t building homes, it was helping people find the right home for them. A natural number savant with a competitive drive and a love for negotiation, Colin discovered that real estate was the ultimate game of chess, an industry where he could think several moves ahead, combine his construction expertise with an analytical mindset, and help clients make smart, strategic decisions. It also gave him a distinct edge in identifying and articulating value.
For several years, Colin lived in Seattle while his wife worked at Harborview Medical Center. As their family grew, they returned to the Eastside to be closer to family and the community they call home. That mix of Seattle and Eastside living allows Colin to work seamlessly with clients on both sides of the lake, bringing firsthand knowledge of the neighborhoods, lifestyle, and market dynamics unique to each area.
Colin’s brain works in numbers. Market trends, pricing strategy, valuation, and statistical analysis come naturally to him. Combined with his construction background, he understands not just what a property is worth, but why, and how to position it strategically in the market. He enjoys helping clients make sense of the data and make confident decisions around what is often one of their largest financial assets.

Outside of real estate, Colin loves spending time with family and friends. He enjoys cooking, traveling, attending concerts and live shows, and making memories with his children. He recently took his kids to see Grease, and the soundtrack has been on repeat in their house ever since.
In recent years, Colin has developed a love for camping and spending time outdoors. He also began coaching his son Duke’s baseball team and loves sharing his passion for baseball, soccer, and skiing with his children. One of his favorite memories from the past year was watching his four-year-old daughter confidently tackle her first ski jumps. Whether exploring the Pacific Northwest or planning future adventures, Colin looks forward to creating new experiences with his family and introducing his children to the people, places, and traditions that have shaped his own life.
