Stunning home of a former governor lists in Seattle for $3.4M

A classic, 1925 Spanish Revival house with some historic ties has landed on the Seattle real estate market for $3.49 million.

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home was designed by West Coast architect William James Bain, who rose to fame during the mid 1900s and designed many of Seattle’s popular buildings, including The James G. Pursley house and the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority House, among others, according to HistoryLink.org.

The 4,470-square-foot estate was also the home of Albert Rosellini, the 15th governor of Washington, who served from 1957 to 1965, the listing says.

“In addition to its famous owners, one of the most interesting parts about this property is that it has two huge parcels comprising nearly half an acre,” listing agent Amy Sajer said to Mansion Global. “It also has spectacular views of the Seattle skyline, Lake Washington, Mount Rainier and Mount Baker.”

Features of the jaw-dropping home include:

According to the listing, some of the home’s period details still remain, including the “tiled entry, central turret, gracious foyer with open staircase, arches and leaded glass windows.”

The property was featured on Seattle PI.

The listing is held by Amy Sajer of Windermere Real Estate.
