The view. It has the power to elevate a property from ordinary to extraordinary, to give a home a cinematic quality and to provide a visual connection to the city in which it resides. Seattle offers some of America’s most breathtaking panoramas — the iconic Space Needle, Puget Sound, Elliot Bay, Mt. Rainier and true to its nickname, Emerald City, sweeping hills bejeweled in green. In honor of this great city and all of its inspiring points of view, here are three properties currently listed by Coldwell Banker Bain in Seattle.

Winter Beach
Medina, WA.
$ 11,750,000

Tucked away in Medina and perched above the shores of Lake Washington, this remarkable Georgian Colonial estate — affectionately called “Winter Beach” — has an enviable location allowing one to revel in the Seattle skyline and glittering city light views stretching out beyond the water. Inside, the 7,101 square-foot residence, sophisticated attention to detail blends with playful elements and a modern twist on its historical design narrative. Conceived by creative team Sullivan Conard Architects, Jerry Fulks Inc. and renowned landscape designer Richard Haag, Winter Beach represents the best of Seattle living — space, privacy and views.
