The Lytle mansion on Mercer Island is still up for auction. My blog regarding the previous auction is below and dated 2/20/10. That auction had a minimum bid of $15 million. Several bids were submitted but each was contingent on a sale of property and all these were rejected. The new minimum bid is $12 million without contingencies and the new deadline is June 30, 2010. The mansion is 22,800 sq ft on 2.0 acres with 150 feet of waterfront, 5 bedrooms, and 9 baths. It was built in 1977 and extensively remodeled and enlarged in 2000-01. It has an estimated $50 million replacement value. It was first listed for sale in 2004 for $40 million. The listing price was $35 million when I published my book, Lake Washington 130 Homes, in August 2009. Late last year the listing price was reduced to $23 million. My book also includes their new house in Hunts Point that was under construction at the time.
The home was featured on KING 5's Evening Magazine on April 12, 2010.
Both houses are in my book (pages 46 and 157): http://www.hundredhomes.net/
