A spectacular Lake Washington property that is one of the priciest residential dwellings to ever appear on the Northwest Multiple Listing Service has been hailed as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to own a piece of architectural history—at a truly historic price.
Listed for an unbelievable $79 million, the impressive abode just falls short of the NWMLS’ highest-ever asking price of $85 million, which was attached to a property in Hunts Point, WA, back in 2022.
Still, the asking price is certainly nothing to scoff at. Nor is the property’s impressive architectural pedigree, both of which make this property the standout star of the week’s most expensive homes list.
Designed by renowned architect Tom Kundig, the dwelling is understood to have been eight years in the making, according to builder Dowbuilt, which described the 16,300-square-foot lake house as “one of [its] most iconic builds.”
The property, which is known as Triptych, was conceived back in 2016 as a “sanctuary” for one lucky family “with a deep love of art and gathering,” offering an array of awe-inspiring entertaining spaces, as well as a number of more unique amenities—including a 10,000-bottle wine cellar.
“After eight years under wraps, we’re finally able to share one of our most iconic builds: Triptych in Bellevue, Washington,” Dowbuilt wrote in an Instagram post celebrating the home’s arrival on the market.
“Created for a family with a deep love of art and gathering, Triptych was conceived as both sanctuary and stage. Art is not relegated to gallery walls—it’s integrated into daily life, woven through spaces like the kitchen, dining room, and living room.
“The flexible layout allows for the collection to evolve, rotating in and out of interior and exterior spaces as time and interests shift.”
Though spectacular, the Bellevue, WA, property is actually one of three properties on this week’s most expensive homes list with an asking price of more than $70 million—with residences in Miami Beach and Aspen also hitting that impressive milestone.
10. 101 and 103 S Seventh St, Aspen, CO 81611
Price: $32.5 million
Colorado compound: Described in its listing as a property that “has it all,” this enormous 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom estate features multiple residences—including a detached, one-bedroom ADU that can be used as a luxurious guest suite.
Nestled on a wooded plot, the home is surrounded by trees, helping to give it a feeling of total isolation—despite its convenient location to some of Aspen’s most popular stores and restaurants.
“Located perfectly between the comforts of Aspen and the solitude of nature,” the listing crows, while calling attention to the home’s potential as a future rental opportunity.
“Unique opportunity to live in 103 and keep 101 as a guesthouse, own two side-by-side income properties, buy now and renovate 101 to sell later…choose your own destiny without being confined to the stress and overhead of an estate that will sit empty.”

1. Bellevue, WA 98004
