Location and market context

Situated on the Eastside of Puget Sound in the exclusive Medina‑type enclave of Bellevue’s Gold Coast, the property enjoys unobstructed sightlines of the Seattle skyline and the Olympic Mountains. The neighbourhood, long favoured by tech executives and professional athletes, has seen median home values rise by roughly 12 % year‑on‑year, according to the Northwest Real Estate Board.

The listing price of $9.8 million (reported by Robb Report) translates to about €9.2 million at current exchange rates, positioning the home at the top end of the regional luxury segment, where comparable waterfront estates command between $8 million and $12 million.

Design, amenities and private‑club appeal

The residence was designed by local architect James H. Kim, known for integrating indoor‑outdoor flow. It features a three‑story main house of 15,000 sq ft., a detached guest cottage of 2,500 sq ft., a 12‑car garage, and a private dock capable of berthing a 70‑ft. yacht.

Inside, the home boasts a two‑story great room with floor‑to‑ceiling glass, a chef’s kitchen equipped with Sub‑Zero appliances, a wine cellar for 1,800 bottles, and a home‑gym overlooking the water. A dedicated art gallery space allows owners to display high‑value pieces, a common requirement among affluent buyers seeking curated cultural experiences within the home.

Why the Pacific Northwest attracts high‑net‑worth buyers

Beyond the natural scenery, the area offers a suite of private‑club amenities: proximity to the Seattle Yacht Club, membership‑only golf courses such as The Golf Club at Newcastle, and a growing wellness scene anchored by boutique spas and marine‑focused fitness studios.

The region’s tech‑driven economy provides a stable base of capital, while the climate—mild winters, dry summers—supports year‑round outdoor recreation. These factors combine to sustain demand for premium properties, pushing prices higher and encouraging developers to incorporate bespoke features like private docks and art‑showcase rooms.
