Before Medina became famous for ‘who’ lives on the Gold Coast, visionary entrepreneur Edward Webster and his notable architects set the standard for ‘how’ when they built The Gables. This legacy estate is an escape for all seasons and a timeless asset. Created for modern life with a conscious investment in quality and set discreetly down a lane and behind magnificent hedges, this uber private estate with Hamptons vibes commands .75 acres along fabled Overlake Drive. Modernized and effectively rebuilt by Toth Construction, “Medina’s first great home” showcases magazine-worthy interiors by Rocky Rochon. Luxurious details, custom furnishings and classic materials set the scene for large affairs and intimate living. Grandeur unfolds in stages, from the motor court to the deep entertaining and dining porches, magical pathways wind past the elliptical pond, espaliered apple trees, and brilliant hydrangeas, through the gates to lush gardens bursting with lavender and white roses scenting the enchanting pool and entertaining areas. At dusk, the welcoming garden comes alive with fairy lights and beckons all to gather around the stunning outdoor fireplace or meander around to the expansive play lawn. Beautifully featured in print and onscreen The Gables brings the architectural style, character and quality building details found in Seattle’s best homes to the Eastside’s most coveted address–a rare investment, built to last.
