Amazon's birthplace is up for sale

A 1,540 square-foot house on 10704 NE 28th St is up for sale. While it doesn’t seem as much from the outside, what makes this home truly special is its role as the birthplace of the king of ecommerce themselves: Amazon.

The home may seem surprisingly affordable in the context of Bellevue's upscale real estate market even with an asking price of $2.28 million.

Built in 1954, the house underwent reconstruction in 2001. This was an effort to maintain the integrity of the space where Bezos first started working on Amazon.

The garage, where Bezos famously set up his makeshift office, was even redesigned to show the early Amazon spirit: a replica of the original "Amazon.com" sign spray painted on the walls.

Amazon originally started out selling books in 1995. The first item ever sold on Amazon was "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies", purchased in that same year by John Wainwright
