Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is the seller of a $63 million mansion in Hunts Point, Wash., just east of Seattle, the Puget Sound Business Journal reported Thursday.The newspaper, which first reported on the sale Wednesday, noted that the sale shattered the state’s previous home sale price record. The Journal cited an industry source in confirming Bezos as the onetime owner.Bezos acquired the sprawling waterfront estate at 4053 Hunts Point Road in 2019 for $37.5 million, which also broke the state record, set in 2018 when a Medina mansion sold for $26.75 million.The sale this week was to a buyer called Cayan Investments LLC, according to the Journal. It incorporated in Delaware in March and has a post office box in Medina. The seller is Hunts Point Properties Trust whose trustee is attorney Kristine Wilson.The 9,420-square-foot home was designed in 2003 by Seattle architect Jim Olson, of the firm Olson Kundig, and was once owned by the late Barney Ebsworth, a luxury travel magnate and prominent art collector who died in 2018.The Olson Kundig website describes the property as an “understated house on the shore of Lake Washington” with a design that “weaves art and nature together.”Hunts Point is a wealthy enclave that’s home to other prominent billionaires and business elite, such as former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Costco co-founder James Sinegal.In a “peek inside” the mansion in 2019, The Seattle Times said the three-bedroom, four-bath home sits on 300 feet of west-facing Lake Washington shoreline
