The Laurelhurst residence, with the $13.25 million asking price, had just beaten the $11.5 million-worth Queen Anne Mansion in Seattle.
The luxurious residence, with an exclusive dock and moorage, stands extravagantly beside Lake Washington. The other half of the mansion is furnished with glass windows and doors to get a good look of the breath-taking view of the lake from sunrise to sunset.
The current owner and seller of the house is Microsoft Accelerator managing director Dave Malcolm and his wife Shelley. They bought the property in 2004 for $3.5 million and had it designed by Stillwell Hanson Architects.
The house was built in 2008 with a contemporary design and 11,809 sq. ft. living space. For $13.25 million, you will get 7 bedrooms, more than 6 baths, ADU, 145 feet of private Laurelhurst waterfront on Lake Washington and high-tech home. Almost all of the main rooms such as living room, dining room, kitchen and family area are overlooking the lake.
In addition, wine cellar, built-in vacuum, double pane or storm window, high tech cabling, jetted tub, security system, skylights, vaulted ceilings, walk-in pantry, walk-in closet, and a high-speed internet (which is the most crucial part) are also provided. There are five garages and 3 fireplaces.
But the best features of the mansion are the fleetwood doors that open up the family room wall to outdoor living. The wood finishes on every room and throughout the mansion make you feel connected to the nature that boasts itself just outside your windows.
Also, the backyard is beaming with relaxation vibe while you drink tea, or whatever beverage you prefer, on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
You sure can picture yourself on a nice boat with someone you love, just like in the lake scene in The Notebook.
