One of Clyde Hill's splashiest homes just pulled up to the market with a $25 million price tag, and it is tied to the owner of a major Western Washington auto group. The chateau-style estate is tucked behind gates on roughly 1.5 acres, with about 8,000 square feet in the main house, a resort-style pool, resurfaced tennis and pickleball court, and long views across Lake Washington. The ask represents a steep climb from the last recorded sale and drops one of the Eastside's larger private lots back into the local real estate chatter.
The listing
According to Redfin, the property at 1750 92nd Ave NE is on the market for $25,000,000 and is shown at 8,013 square feet with five bedrooms and 5.5 baths. The listing credits Terry Allen of Coldwell Banker Bain as the seller's agent and notes interiors by Susan Marinello with architecture by Gelotte Hommas. The online entry includes a virtual tour and dozens of photos that show off the updated finishes and manicured grounds.
Price jump and sales history
As noted by Compass, the house last sold for $9 million in November 2020 after an earlier 2020 listing at roughly $9.495 million. MLS and public records tied to current listing pages also show an earlier 2013 sale near $5.85 million, highlighting multiple ownership changes and a steady run-up in value. That combination of recent renovation work and limited high-end inventory on the Eastside helps explain the ambitious new asking price.
Who is selling
As reported by the Puget Sound Business Journal, the listing links the home to the owner of Universal Auto Group. Company materials and dealer press information identify Phil Bivens as owner and president of Universal Auto Group, the Tacoma-based dealer group that runs several franchises across Western Washington, according to a press release on PRWeb. Local agents and the dealership had not responded to media requests for comment by publication time.
Where it fits in the market
The Eastside luxury scene has been busy, but at the very top of the price sheet there is more inventory and stiffer competition. A January roundup of major regional deals from Homes.com showed most recent Clyde Hill and Bellevue sales landing in the single- and low-double-digit millions. Against that backdrop, a $25 million ask still stands out in the neighborhood and points to a very small pool of ultra-high-net-worth buyers, not the broader Eastside market.
What the listing promises
The marketing materials lean hard into the lifestyle pitch: formal gardens, a private gated entrance, and a new resort-style pool with a Baja deck, all paired with integrated smart-house systems. The property also features a resurfaced tennis and pickleball court and a separate guest pavilion, plus broad views of Lake Washington and the Olympic range. Prospective buyers are being directed to Coldwell Banker Bain for tours and offers, if they are ready to play in the $25 million bracket.
