For Sale: the Wurdmann mansion
Tuesday, November 8, 2016
By Diane Hettrick
For years, Lake Forest Park residents daydreamed over the Wurdemann mansion. Sitting on a four acre piece of property near the intersection of Ballinger Way and Bothell Way, it was vacant for years. Weatherbeaten and apparently crumbling into ruin, it sat in romantic splendor.
The Wurdemanns were among the first to purchase lots in Lake Forest Park, securing a five acre area. Their mansion was built in 1915 in the Georgian style with a marble staircase, four bedrooms, four bathrooms, four dressing rooms, and a grand spiral staircase.
In 1990, Brian Taylor and partners bought the property, subdivided off several lots, and completely renovated the house and outbuildings.
The main house is 5,000 square feet with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. The lot is 41,000 square feet with "poetic grounds, tennis court, circular drive, Georgian style porches, walls of French doors and a carriage house attached to a three car garage. The entry introduces beautifully the gorgeous detailed interior of the home. Majestic wide stair case, elegant formals and period detailing throughout."
Now it's on the market again. I'm told that several more lots have been divided off but it is still a large property. The house is no longer a romantic ruin, just a big house. Even the price of $1,680,000 is comparable to other homes in Lake Forest Park.
It's still beautiful and it still has the view of Lake Washington.
For all of you who have wondered what it is like inside, realtor Kim Thomas of the Lake Forest Park Windermere office has provided these photos.
If you are interesting in buying, you can reach her by email or 206-601-4969.
It has been used several times by organizations. In 1990, it was the Seattle Symphony Designer Show House (see article in The Seattle Times). In 2014, the Shoreline Historical Museum gave private tours of the mansion as a fundraiser for the museum (see our article).

Our sizzling real estate market
Sunday, April 10, 2016
By Nan Skinner
You've probably heard that our local real estate market is hot! It is. I like to back up statements like this with statistics. These stats are provided by Northwest Multiple Listing Service and compare the first quarter of 2016 with the first quarter of 2015.
Let's see what they say about the market in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park. *Days on Market - Average number of days from the time the house was put on the market until an offer was mutually accepted by seller and buyer.
ACTIVE LISTINGS
YTD 2015 YTD 2016
New Listings 258 287
Average Price $813,836 $1,064,063
Median Price $541,175 $ 588,687
Average DOM* 71 60
CLOSED SALES
YTD 2015 YTD 2016
Sold 193 167
Avg Sale Price $437,127 $513,175
Average DOM* 42 16.5
The most significant numbers are the differences between the average list price and the average sale price, the differences between the average number of days on the market between 2015 and 2016, and the 8.5% increase in average sale price between first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.
Also, notice that the number of homes sold in the first quarter of 2016 is less than the first quarter of 2015. It's too bad no one (that I know of) keeps records of the average number of offers made on houses because almost everyone I talk to in the biz has either received multiple offers on behalf of their sellers or been in competition with other offers when representing their buyers. I wonder how the ever-popular Spring market will be?
