This house was owned by the Burke Family until 1995, when it was sold to the Seattle Symphony's Musical Director, Gerard Schwarz (b. 08/19/1947 in Weehawken, NJ) and his wife, Jody, who still owned the dwelling in 2010. Schwarz headed the symphony since 1985, but stepped down amidst discord among musicians effective at the end of the 2010-2011 season.

The 5-bedroom, 2-bath house had an assessed value of $2,844,000 in 2010. It had 7,900 total square feet, 2,760 of it on the first floor, 2,520 on the second, and 2,720 in a finished basement.
