Ryan Lewis, the non-Macklemore half of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, bought his massive Magnolia estate in 2014 $3.3 million. Since then, he’s done some extensive remodeling—and added some lions, taxidermy, and gold-leaf ceilings. It hit the market again just a couple of weeks ago, listed for a cool $7.45 million.

To show it off, he let fellow Washington State musician Allen Stone “break into” his house with a crew filming the whole thing. To get an idea of what Stone gets into: This home takes up 7,000 square feet just inside. Much of that space is for gathering and entertaining.
Usually, four doesn’t seem like a small number of bedrooms. In this much space, though, it gives you some idea how much is devoted to lounging, bathing, and entertainment.
A grand entryway with soaring cathedral ceilings leads to open staircases both upstairs and down, or straight ahead into a long series of gathering spaces, lightly separated by pillars and ceiling beams.
Those gold-leaf ceilings extend throughout.

That open collection of living spaces includes a conversation and piano area, a fireside lounge, and formal dining space.

From the great room, an archway leads back into a smaller fireside dining area and the kitchen, a spiral staircase leads to the second floor.

Multiple French doors from the main floor lead to a wide, view deck with a stone railing.

Downstairs, a lower deck lines the edges of an even bigger fireside lounge with a bar, plus a library complete with built-in floor-to-ceiling shelves and a ladder that runs along a track. A home theater eschews the hard surfaces common in the rest of the home, likely for sound-dampening.

Upstairs, find yet another deck, this one connected to a master suite with a small office and a marble bathroom.

Out back, a hilly yard leads to rocky beachfront.

For that up-close-and-personal look at home—very close, very personal—follow Stone along as he climbs up the bluff to the house, breaks into the kitchen window with a credit card, drinks some wine, takes a bath, and tears through Lewis’s closet and library. (“You can tell a lot about a young man based upon two things: the bubbles in his bath and the books in his lib.’”)
If you’re watching somewhere that swears are an issue, maybe use headphones for this one.
