Russell Wilson, the former dual-threat quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks who won the Super Bowl, and Ciara, a fashion model and R&B singer, have put their stunning $36 million mansion on the market.
Wilson, who was once the highest-paid player in the NFL and made roughly $35 million a year in his last years with the Seahawks, and the singer of “Goodies” and “Speechless,” who is also a tireless entrepreneur and devoted philanthropist, hope to nearly triple their money from the sale of their two-parcel waterfront estate. The two residences were purchased in two different transactions, the first in 2015, the year before their wedding, and the second in 2019, for a total of $13.4 million, according to the documents.
The listings owned by Windermere Real Estate Co.’s Chandler and Carmen Gayton claim that the two parcels are also offered for individual purchase. The property with the sport court and detached garage is advertised for $8 million, while the main house parcel is valued at $28 million.
When combined, the two lots make up over 1.9 acres of beautifully planted ground that descend to 270 feet of magnificent Lake Washington shoreline. The extravagantly ornate main home was built in 2007 on a hilltop with views of the city and the ocean.
Situated on three levels, the property spans little over 11,000 square feet and features six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two powder rooms. It is equipped with an elevator and a striking circular staircase adorned with wrought iron.
Other features include a spacious foyer with a 20-foot ceiling, two formal dining rooms, and a black-painted library/office.
A space with a groin vault supported by fluted Corinthian columns divides the great chamber. On one side is a large kitchen with elaborately carved bone-white cabinetry, arrayed around a 14-foot-long, doublewide island.
There are antique Southeast Asian carved wood doors throughout, at least four elaborately carved stone fireplaces, and a circular dining bay off the great room with expansive vistas over the lake toward the Seattle downtown skyline.
The master suite is awash in various shades of purple velvet, from plum to violet to eggplant, and the bathroom is lavishly appointed with a garden tub and cedar sauna, so as to maximize the blufftop vistas.
But it’s the 200 square feet of custom closet space and the “Hollywood-worthy glam room” that truly amp up the suite’s decadence.
