That being said, a lot of spectacular homes hit the market this year and some are still for sale. Between the former homes of celebrities, architecturally significant digs, and unique amenities you’ll want to see these homes. Here are 5 of the most extraordinary Washington homes that were on the market this year.
Kenny G’s former home
The most expensive listing in the Seattle area just so happens to be Kenny G’s former home. The Hunts Point home has 5 bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and 17,599 square feet. At $85,000,000 this mind-bogglingly expensive home is still on the market.
The former home of the man who “designed the Seattle skyline”
Washington is known for having a few pretty architecturally significant residences but it’s not every day that the home of Jack Christiansen hits the market. Christiansen was known for engineering the Kingdome as well as his work in thin-shell concrete buildings. The home has sold and it’s easy to see why.
