In 2015, NFL star Russell Wilson purchased a luxurious estate in Bellevue, Washington, for $6.7 million, shortly after being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks. A year later, he tied the knot with Grammy-nominated singer Ciara, and together they acquired an adjacent lot for the same price. Now, after Wilson’s tenure with the Seattle Seahawks and a brief stint with the Denver Broncos, he’s embarking on the 2024 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, while their opulent Bellevue residence is set to fetch them a hefty sum—approximately $31 million.

The couple had plans to enhance the estate with a sports court and other improvements. However, they opted to list both parcels for sale in April 2022. The less developed parcel swiftly sold for $9.75 million, while the lot with the main residence initially carried a price tag of $28 million. Following two price reductions, it eventually settled at a final asking price of $21.25 million. Currently under contract, the property is slated to close this month, with insiders suggesting it will fetch close to the asking price, as confirmed by the couple and a source familiar with the transaction.

The Mediterranean-inspired mansion sprawls across 11,000 square feet, boasting six bedrooms, five en-suite baths, and a powder room. Accessible via an elevator, all three floors provide sweeping 180-degree vistas of the Seattle skyline. The residence also boasts 164 feet of lakefrontage, complete with a private 60-foot yacht slip.

Amidst the captivating sunset views of the cityscape, the two-story treehouse, likely constructed for the couple’s four children, stands out as a highlight of the property. Accessible via a spiral staircase, this whimsical structure is covered in a grassy material, evoking scenes from a storybook.

Elsewhere, the new owner can enjoy panoramic views from the patio equipped with a firepit or embark on evening boat rides from the dock. Having such options is undoubtedly a luxury. The listing is held by Carmen Gayton of Windermere Real Estate.
