His home is located in a quiet, lush neighborhood on Mercer Island, a wealthy community on Lake Washington connected to Seattle by a bridge.

The 4,250-square-foot updated Mid-Century Modern home includes four bedrooms, two full baths and two half-baths, according to the listing.

Inside, there’s an open floor plan that’s ideal for entertaining – so is the 10-person hot tub in the primary suite’s spa-like bathroom.

That suite also features a fireplace and a private deck overlooking the evergreen tree-lined landscape. The huge walk-in closet has built-ins. In addition to the 10-person tub, the en suite bathroom has an open multi-head shower and a dual vanity.
