"Built as the Boulevard Inn in 1912, the onetime way station was transformed into a single residence in the 1930s by pioneering Seattle architect Elizabeth Ayer as her personal residence. Today the two-story East Coast-inspired house is reached by way of a private lane and sits on a three-quarter-acre lot obscured by lush landscaping and mature trees."
"A red front door, set at an angle in a corner, opens to more than 7,250 square feet of updated living space. A graceful banister leads upstairs from the foyer. The living room features cobalt blue accent walls, ceiling beams, a fireplace and a bay window. There's another fireplace in the formal dining room for a total of six."
"A stained-glass door opens to a sunroom that pops with a vibrant green color. Vaulted and beamed ceilings top what was once the grand ballroom. A pine-paneled library, wet bar, wine cellar, four bedrooms, five bathrooms and a basement complete the floor plan. The grounds also contain a swimming pool, a spa, a shoji-door-lined pool house, fruit trees and a large brick patio."
Heart frontwoman Ann Wilson sold her longtime Seattle residence for $4.32 million. The property, originally built as the Boulevard Inn in 1912, was converted into a single-family home in the 1930s by renowned Seattle architect Elizabeth Ayer. The two-story East Coast-inspired mansion spans over 7,250 square feet on a three-quarter-acre lot. Features include six fireplaces, four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a library, wine cellar, wet bar, sunroom with stained-glass doors, and a former grand ballroom with vaulted ceilings. Exterior amenities include a swimming pool, spa, pool house, and brick patio. Wilson, 68, co-founded Heart with her sister Nancy and co-wrote hits including "Magic Man" and "Crazy on You." The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame six years ago.
