If you’re looking for a piece of Amazon’s history, here’s an exciting opportunity for you. The unassuming home in Bellevue, Wash., where Jeff Bezos founded the e-commerce giant is now on the market for $2.28 million.
Back in 1994, a young Jeff Bezos, who is now worth an estimated $177.5 billion, started Amazon in the garage of this very property. It was a humble beginning for what would eventually become one of the world’s largest and most valuable companies. Initially, Amazon served as an online marketplace for books.
According to Amazon, the garage at that time housed a desk, a computer, and basic office supplies. In a recent recreation of the Bellevue garage, Bezos shared a nostalgic video tour on Instagram. He announced his decision to relocate to Miami after spending decades in the Seattle area, where he has invested millions in high-end real estate.
While the three-bedroom Bellevue home has undergone meticulous reconstruction in 2001, it still holds the essence of its famous former tenant. Spanning across 1,540 square feet, the house boasts an enormous great room, a modern kitchen with granite and maple finishes, and skylights that create a bright and inviting atmosphere.
The fully fenced backyard is a perfect retreat with its large “party” deck and a hot tub, offering ample space for relaxation and entertainment. The property last changed hands in 2019 for $1.52 million.
For those interested in owning a piece of Amazon’s history, this listing presents an incredible opportunity. Don’t miss your chance to own the birthplace of one of the world’s most successful companies.
