home ever, the producer (who you might know best as a frequent collaborator of hip-hop artist Macklemore) has created what could you classify as a short film titled “Allen Stone’s Invasion of Privacy.”

As the name suggests, the video stars Allen Stone, a successful soul and R&B singer in his own right, as an intruder on Lewis’ sprawling 7,610 square foot, four-bedroom, five-bathroom home. And if you’ve 20 minutes to spare, it’s safe to say that this little film is good for a laugh.

But as entertaining as it is, it’s also a surprisingly effective way to give a virtual tour of Lewis’ home. And given that he hopes to sell the property for $7.45 million, it’s no wonder that he’s pulling out all the stops when it comes to convincing the public that this is a home worth buying.

The home, located at 3035 Perkins Lane West in Seattle, “boasts 150 feet of salt water beach in the quiet suburb of Magnolia, just a few miles from downtown. With a western exposure, it has panoramic views of the sound, mountains, and sunsets from each of the three floors and terraces,” according to the home’s website (yes, the home has its own website).

Windermere Real Estate, which is responsible for the listing, gives a little more information, noting that the estate features 150 feet of salt water beach, an open floor plan “complemented by custom updates including Venetian plaster, gold leaf ceilings, flamed granite, polished marble, and much more.” Lewis also enjoyed a library, theater, and bar.

So why exactly would Lewis leave such a piece of paradise behind?

“Ryan is switching to a smaller footprint in Seattle so he can spend more time pursing his music ventures in L.A. and New York,” Windermere broker Casey Price told GeekWire. “One project Ryan has been working on is Kesha’s new single ‘Praying,’ which debuted in early July.”

But hey, Lewis’ loss could be your gain … if you have $7.45 million to spare.

The best robot vacuum and mop combos, chosen by experts
A Roborock S5 sucking up dirt on the floor.

The world of robot vacuums has seen rapid improvement over the past few years, with many of the best models now serving as both vacuums and mops — allowing them to clean up your home in a single run. These types of robot vacuums typically employ some sort of retractable mop to lift their saturated components and keep your carpets dry. Once they're done cleaning, most will then head back to their docking station to empty their dustbins and clean their dirty mopping pads. That makes robot vacuum and mop combos mighty enticing.

However, these gadgets aren't cheap. It's not uncommon for such products to carry price tags over $1,000, and with so many to choose from, it can be hard to tell if you're getting the best robot vacuum for your home. If you need help with your search, here are the best robot vacuum and mop combos of 2024, including the best overall, best budget, and more.
