Jeff Bezos owns property worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but one home associated with the Amazon founder has just hit the market for a comparatively cool $2.3 million.
The house, in Bellevue, Washington is an instrumental piece of Amazon’s history. It was in the garage of that home he was renting at the time that Bezos started Amazon, then an online bookseller, in 1994.
Take a look inside the home where it all began:
It’s 10704 NE 28th Street in Bellevue, Washington. Bezos founded Amazon in 1994, at age 30, in the garage of this home.
They reportedly paid $890 a month in rent, The Wall Street Journal reported in 2011.
In fact, the home appealed to Bezos partly because he wanted to be able to brag about building a startup out of a garage, in the Silicon Valley tradition, according to the Journal.
It’s unclear if the garage was significantly changed in the renovation, says listing agent Lin Shen of Sea to Sky Realty.
It was built in 1954 but renovated in 2001, according to its Zillow listing.
…and two bathrooms.
It also has a sizable great room, and skylights give the home plenty of natural light.
In the back yard, you’ll find a large deck.
The home has changed hands several times.
