[custom_adv] Uber main mensch Dara Khosrowshahi managed to unload his house in Seattle a few weeks ago, realizing $3.8 million for a property he picked up about eight years back for $3 million. The home Khosrowshahi is leaving behind contains more than a few surprises. [custom_adv] The exterior of the Colonial-esque in the Capitol Hill neighborhood is accented with cedar shingle siding and a stacked stone chimney, sneaking in a bit of Asian influence along the way. The build dates to 2007. [custom_adv] The interiors are a warm postmodern mix of craftsman influence, modern style, and period Pacific Northwest. [custom_adv] Notable details are many, and include a staircase with a solid frosted glass balustrade, dark blue trim, arched transitions, and a kitchen that slickly balances industrial and the warmth of mid-toned hardwood. [custom_adv] Contemporary flourishes include tray ceilings with LED backlighting, and a judiciously utilitarian dotting of recessed LED fixtures, but warmth prevails generally in the 5,930 square-footer. [custom_adv] The master bath sports a nifty marble niche shower; the master bedroom gets a corner spot with plentiful glass revealing the Emerald City and the ’Sound. [custom_adv] There are five bedrooms and four and one-quarter baths overall; a guest room receives a panoramic wall covering. The family room is a creative space, with carpeting that forcefully discourages mental sloth. [custom_adv] The lot size isn’t staggering, but the neighborhood is one of the better suburban spots in the country. [custom_adv] Especially in spring, when the cherry blossoms bloom; the intoxicating scent could make a poet of the staunchest pragmatic. [custom_adv] Khosrowshahi was at Expedia from 2005 to 2017, when he moved to Uber. The Uber boss pocketed a decent profit from the Seattle home sale, which he could put toward a payment on the ultra luxe home he reportedly purchased in San Francisco. [custom_adv] Having shifted gears to helm the San Francisco-based ride-hailing company in 2017, the 49-year-old exec was no longer in need of a home in the Emerald City. [custom_adv] The home is just over a decade old, and its modern finishes have held up, namely the wide-plank oak floors and eye-catching moldings. [custom_adv] The open layout takes advantage of the eye-popping views. French doors open to a view deck with room for outdoor dining. Other details include a high-end kitchen, luxurious master suite, play room, and exercise room. A gated motor court leads to a covered entry. [custom_adv] The gracious residence is located in the popular and lively Capitol Hill neighborhood, and is conveniently close to Volunteer Park, shops, and restaurants.
