I’ve always wondered about the stately waterfront English Tudor that sits just North of the Normandy Park Cove Beach. It recently went on the market for sale and today I had the opportunity to tour this home with other Real Estate Brokers in my office and learn about it’s history.

Originally built in 1927 as a community club for Normandy Park, the building sat unused throughout the Great Depression. Eventually it was purchased by well known Seattle Jeweler, Ben Tipp and has since been a private residence to many lucky families.  This one acre Puget Sound Waterfront Estate boasts over 6000 sq./ft. of living space, 100 feet of prime low bank waterfront and a helicopter pad “for drop in guests”.  According to long time local resident, Randi Boyle, the home even had an in-door basketball court in the 1960’s.  The court has since been replaced with a grand-scale pool table room.

Asking price for this historic home:  $3,250,000. Call me if you’d like a tour.
