This grand English-style mansion built of stone and glass is beautifully set on the shores of Lake Washington, standing out in the Pacific Northwest landscape. Previously owned by Grammy Award-winning jazz saxophonist Kenny G, a native of Seattle, this impressive 17,599 square foot residence has gained attention, not only for its size but also as the priciest property ever listed with the Northwest MLS. According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, Bruce McCaw and Jolene McCaw bought this 4.3-acre estate from Bruce’s sibling, Craig, the founder of McCaw Cellular, who originally bought it from Kenny G. Crafted by the esteemed architect Richard Landry and completed in 1995, this sprawling manor features a magnificent entrance hall, a two-story living room with expansive windows showcasing views of the lake, a wood-lined library, and fireplaces in nearly every room, including the gourmet kitchen and the master suite. Kenny G remarked in a 1997 issue of Architectural Digest, “We aimed for a cozy home, but also one with a striking style.” This style is notably rare in the Pacific Northwest, making the residence truly one of a kind.
