Seattle’s custom ‘Art Häus’ hits market for the first time ever

The unique property, named Art Häus, was completed in 2006 and designed to be the perfect space to display certain pieces within its current owners’ collection.

In 1997, the art collectors Craig and Linda Fiebig dropped $1.27 million on a home close to Lake Washington, in Seattle’s Washington Park area.

The pair began renovating the space but the project went south, so they demolished the structure and, in collaboration with Vandeventer + Carlander Architects, built a new custom stand-alone house in its place, Realtor.com reported.

After seven years, their new “modern industrial” creation — retrofitted to best display select pieces of art, and also to raise children — was at last complete, and promptly began fulfilling its purpose. The Fiebigs raised their four children there, and also beautifully displayed their art in the museum-like setting, which listing photos show is visibly more commercial than residential in parts.

“What is surprising about it is that the home is superbly functional as well” as functioning as a gallery, agent Shawna Ader of Windermere Real Estate Midtown, who holds the listing, explained to The Post. “It’s an exceptionally livable, private compound within the city.”

Now, though, the Fiebigs are parting with their multi-use building baby.

“All four children are grown and out of the home. Their time there had run its course, and they would love for a new owner to enjoy it now,” Ader added to Realtor.com.

“Designed to house a collector’s bounty, walls-of-windows and skylights bathe the home in natural light yet embody a treehouse ambiance,” boasts the listing. “Enveloped by a lush green canopy of mature vegetation anchored by magnificent hardscape.”

In all, there are five bedrooms and five bathrooms spread over the more than 5,500 square feet of living space, which offers amenities including a fireplace, a solarium, a security system, a wet bar and a double oven spread over its two stories.

As well, there’s a detached garage and multiple outdoor lounging areas.

Although neither the art nor furniture are included in the listing, “the seller may consider selling a few of the larger pieces, as the home was built to house them,” Ader noted to Realtor.com.
