Egan House

Restored by Historic Seattle

In 2003, Historic Seattle, the city's public development authority for preservation, restored Egan House and kept ownership of the property once the work was finished. In April 2024, the organization put the house up for sale.

Before you plan your walk around it, check with Historic Seattle directly for the latest on its ownership and any public access.

An Official Seattle Landmark

The house earned its Seattle landmark designation in 2010, and the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board lists it as City Landmark No. 329, protected under Ordinance 123295. That status places Egan House among a select group of protected properties across the city.

Among the Trees of St. Mark's Greenbelt

Egan House sits within St. Mark's Greenbelt, the wooded park that lines this stretch of Lakeview Boulevard East. That leafy setting is a big part of what makes the address so distinctive.
