What’s New on Old Main Street?

Longtime Bellevue residents may remember Old Main Street as the original “main drag” dating back to before the turn of the 20th century but things have certainly taken a new turn in the past 10 or so years!

Starting in the mid ‘90s, Main Street’s first luxury mid-rise, THE MCKEE Condominium, came into being. An exceptional complex punctuated with elegance and sophistication, The McKee grew to be a three phased complex which includes PARKSIDE at THE McKEE on NE 1st St. as well as a row of tri-level townhomes – all surrounding a lush courtyard. Depending on location within the complex, views can overlook Downtown Park, the courtyard or Lake Washington. One unique aspect of the Parkside phase is the 2 story penthomes – each with private rooftop patio area! The McKee’s amenities include an elegantly appointed lobby with stone fireplace on Main St., equipped fitness center, fully furnished club room with kitchen (for throwing fabulous parties), outdoor heated lap pool and jetted spa and a furnished guest suite. The exterior was recently replaced with a state-of-the-art surface. 

As with 2 new construction complexes close by, The Vue at Meydenbauer and One Main Street, The McKee’s location can’t be beat. Within just a few blocks, you can enjoy a variety of exciting shops and restaurants such as Gilbert’s Deli for authentic New York style deli  (and beyond…) fare. A few doors down, sample chocolate delights at Fran’s Chocolates or take a break at Belle Pastry.  For an exceptional dining experience, there’s the highly rated Bis on Main or Salute where evenings of live opera, flamenco or piano music can be enjoyed along with your meal. Nearby, a visit to Ming’s Asian Gallery is a great place to pick up that perfect accent piece for your condominium home.
