Seattle's Most Expensive Home 

Absolutely stunning yet functionally comfortable love the original Lalique light fixture

What a fantastic twist to this incredible home. Vintage meets Modern. Exquisite!

Wow! Walked by this house for years, always wondered what it looked like inside.

This is actually one of those RARE moments when a vintage home ends up looking perfectly at ease with it's modernization. Why, how? First, the construction itself was done with a SUPER modern, forward-thinking deco influence originally. Notice the façade's typical early 20th century straight hard lines with little detail, notice the fireplace mantles, completely stylized from a neo-classical concept. This house was built by and for someone who obviously wanted to feel AHEAD of their time. In these instances this type of BOLD ultra-modern revamping WORKS. Whoever did this house had awesome intuitive sensibility in the renovation process. I'll dare say they channeled the whim and wishes of the original owner(s) had they been alive today, seeking a total home make-over. I myself LOVE antiques and would have thrown in MORE high-end vintage, streamlined biedermeier antiques, MORE slick modern deco pieces, and more colorful rugs to blend with the contemporary furnishings, but I can't deny it: This one looks gorgeous as is. #ForTheLoveOfDesign

That staircase is magnificent I would love to know how that was built. this house is Dope.

Beautifully done👍🏼

Where's the elevator?

Would have been better to bring in modern touches that did not ruin the home. Irreparable damage done. Too much history lost.

I bet only starbucks can buy that.

Not the most iconic. There are a number near Volunteer Park , and of course the former Japanese embassy off West Highland Drive.

My wife and I used to walk by this house all the time, we always wondered what it was like inside.... this was years and years ago though. Its awful what they did to it, wish we could have seen it back in the day before it was ruined.

I thought the home looked great, although I did keep wondering to myself "am I ok with them modernizing this classic house?"

By far not the most expensive house in Seattle.

"Restoration". You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. There is preservation, restoration, and renovation. This is renovation.

It felt lonely and incomplete. No personal touches, more like a nice hotel. 👎🏽

something about that arch

this video makes me sad historical house to a modern house its bad idea

Taking a beautiful historical house and ruining it with modern "renovations" . Disgusting . If they wanted a modern house why not buy a modern house????

Why, oh why would you make a beautiful and historical house modern??? You ruined it's charm and you might as well have just knocked it down and made a modern house in its place. It's a shame ... damn shame!!!

Talk about hyperbole. Hardly one of best views in whole would. Your suit jacket is too short. Just saying!

Great location and elevation but the inside is less desirable.

Modernity absolutely ruined the inside

This house was gang raped. So sad to this beautiful home destroyed.

What, no CInema, or Movie Theatre, in a film-loving city such as Seattle IS?

What a disaster. This beautiful house has been completely destroyed. It’s a complete mess, nothing elegant or graceful about it now, except the structure of the building which hasn’t been destroyed. Elsewhere in Europe, a house of this importance would have had a preservation order on It. Meaning you couldn’t rip the heart out of it. New money will enjoy this house, having no appreciation for the beautiful house it once was.

The house is beautiful but inside is mess!!!

I don't like it. AA doesn't feel right.. It doesn't look right. I am all for restoration in a little bit of modeling zation, However that interior is too severe compared to the outside of the house. That's Industrial look is far too severe on the insight, Just doesn't fit the historic beauty of the outside, I have to keep it real Sorry
