About this home

An extraordinary residence of rare scale and refinement, thoughtfully crafted for grand entertaining, gracious daily living, and inspired creative pursuits. From the moment you enter the soaring foyer, the home sets a tone of celebration and possibility—equally suited to host an elegant cocktail party for 50 or a sit down dinner for 20. For the livelier gatherings head to the lower levels and find a retreat designed for truly memorable and active occasions.  With an expansive billiards room, formal ballroom, an art studio, and full spa with an indoor pool, hot tub, and sauna–this home accommodates everything from art shows to music recitals & even water polo. The great room and beautifully appointed kitchen wing offer a softer, more intimate counterpoint to the home’s grandeur, creating a warm and welcoming space for everyday living. The primary suite is especially charming, with its own fireplace and soaking tub, offering a private retreat that feels both indulgent and deeply comforting. On the lower level, resort-style amenities shine. The pool, spa, and fitness areas provide year-round wellness, while a versatile studio invites creativity & flexible use. Expansive, uninterrupted views of trees, Lake Washington, and the Cascades form a serene natural backdrop. This rare property blends elegance, comfort, and remarkable versatility—a home equally suited to large-scale entertaining and refined, inspired daily living.
