Bill Gates Lists Medina, Washington, Home for $4.8 Million

"The olive green, L-shaped abode features brick and wood siding. Just beyond its foyer, a step-down living room with a fireplace offers a view of the lake, while a dining room (also with a fireplace) spills out onto a balcony overlooking the water. The modern, all-white kitchen centers around a butcher block countertop with a breakfast bar,"

"and nearby French doors open to a massive deck, providing a sprawling space for outdoor entertaining, with steps leading down to the water below. The primary bedroom also highlights a private balcony, plus a rather modest walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with dual vanities. Though the home is single-story, the finished basement offers up another bedroom along with an office and a family room-both with fireplaces-and access to the sloped backyard."

Bill Gates listed a four-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom, 2,780-square-foot home in Medina, Washington, for $4.8 million. He purchased the property in 1995 for $1 million. The property sits on Lake Washington with deeded water access and features brick and wood siding and an L-shaped exterior.

A finished basement adds an additional bedroom, office and family room. Gates continues to reside primarily at Xanadu 2.0, estimated at about $130 million.
