Houses: What can you buy with 1 Million in the Seattle Area?

I love hopping over to the local real estate sites now and then just to see what kinds of swanky houses are up for sale in my area. It can be a great place to find inspiration photos for decorating ideas (as well as not so great ideas), plus it's fun to dream right?

Here's a magnificent house in Kirkland that's currently listed at $1,050,000.

I love those doors, and the hardwood floors are so pretty!

I've always wondered how it would be to have a fire going while you are taking a bath. Would it be too hot or cozy and romantic? I love the idea of having a fireplace in the bathroom for those cold winter days. What do you think?


Having a covered patio area with a fireplace would be so fun for BBQ's and other get-togethers.
I can just see billowy curtains and cushy dining chairs pulled up around a table full of delicious home cooked food out here.

This house even has separate living quarters with a full kitchen for friends and family visits or to rent out.

And for those of you who have an extra $250k to add to that million dollars lying around (couch change right?) here's a house in Redmond that has jaw-dropping craftsmanship throughout.

I love the old world effect of the glass doors on these built-ins!

Another covered patio with a fireplace! Love it!
