Jeff Bezos has reportedly offloaded his Washington home for a whopping $US63 million ($A99 million).

According to the Puget Sound Business Journal, the sale marks the priciest residential transaction in the state’s history.

Bezos, 61, snapped up the pad in April 2019 for $US37.5 million, Page Six reports.

Situated in Hunts Point, Seattle, the sprawling estate features three massive bedrooms and four sizeable bathrooms.

It also includes lavish amenities like an elevator, at least one colossal walk-in closet, a secondary kitchen for catering, a rooftop terrace with a fireplace and a glass walkway linking the main property to a two-storey guesthouse.

The Amazon founder announced in November 2023 that he was “leaving the Pacific Northwest” and making Miami his home base.

“Seattle has been my home since 1994 when I started Amazon out of my garage. That’s my dad behind the camera in this video, touring Amazons’ first ‘office,’” he captioned an Instagram video at the time, calling his parents his “biggest supporters.”

The billionaire explained that his folks had “recently moved back to Miami,” where the family lived when he was growing up.

The Blue Origin founder pointed out that he and his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez — who both “love” Miami — “want to be close” to his parents.

“Also,” he made sure to note, “Blue Origin’s operations are increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral.”

Bezos added of the “exciting” yet “emotional” decision, “I’ve lived in Seattle longer than I’ve lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here. … Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart.”

The tech entrepreneur, who has a net worth of $US200 billion ($A319 billion), still maintains two properties in the Emerald City: a $US10 million home he acquired in 1998 and an adjacent residence he bought in 2010 for $US45 million.

The pads reportedly house personal staff, though Bezos is looking to unload them, too.

His Miami portfolio includes three mansions on Indian Creek Island, which is also known as “Billionaire Bunker.”
