Bellevue, Washington, is renowned for its high-end shopping, lush woodlands, and stunning views of Lake Washington. NFL star Russell Wilson capitalized on these attractions when he purchased an extravagant estate in the area in 2015 for $6.7 million, three years after being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks. His relationship with Grammy-nominated singer Ciara soon blossomed, leading to their marriage a year later. The couple subsequently acquired the adjacent lot for another $6.7 million. After a decade with the Seahawks and two years with the Denver Broncos, Wilson is set to continue the 2024 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Consequently, the family is selling their luxurious Bellevue estate for an estimated $31 million.
The Mediterranean-style mansion spans over 11,000 square feet, featuring six bedrooms, five en-suite bathrooms, and an additional powder room. The residence boasts 180-degree views of the Seattle skyline across its three floors, all accessible via an elevator. Additionally, it includes 164 feet of lakefront property with a private 60-foot yacht slip.
Guests are welcomed by a grand rotunda, with the stucco façade contrasting beautifully against the lush landscaping. Inside, a spiral staircase under a chandelier and coffered ceiling sets a sophisticated tone in the foyer. The living and dining rooms are enhanced by stone-encased fireplaces and windowed alcoves, adding to the home’s swanky appeal. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, including a gas range and two Sub-Zero refrigerators, along with a massive breakfast bar island. Other luxurious amenities include a theater, a wine room, two fitness studios, a recording studio, two offices, a sunroom, and an au pair suite.
The primary suite is extraordinary, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and breathtaking lake views from a circular alcove lined with picture windows. The deluxe en-suite bath includes a soaking tub, shower, and expansive sink area. The suite also boasts a light-filled walk-in closet with ample drawers and hanging spaces, and a glam room with a fireplace adjoins the closet.
The estate’s grounds feature a two-story treehouse, likely built for the couple’s four children, accessed by a spiral staircase and covered in a grassy material, evoking a storybook charm. The new owner can enjoy open views from the patio with a fire pit or take evening boat rides from the dock.
Carmen Gayton of Windermere Real Estate holds the listing for this remarkable property, which, with its unique features and luxurious amenities, is set to attract considerable interest in the market.
