Singer / songwriter Ed Hale may be best known for his Billboard Top 40 hits “Scene in San Francisco” and “New Orleans Dreams”, but he’s lived in Seattle, WA home, at least partially, for more than five years.

The singer and his wife have been living bicoastally, splitting their time between their house in Woodinville, WA just outside of Seattle and their Upper West Side apartment in New York City.

But they have decided to relocate to living full-time in Manhattan starting in the fall. So they are selling their Seattle based home. The 5 bedroom, 4 bath house is on the market for $1.1 million.

Hale says he has enjoyed “the peace and quiet of the country gentleman lifestyle” afforded by the couple’s large spacious home in the English Hill neighborhood of Woodinville.

But with his new album, “Another Day in the Apocalypse”, coming out later this year, he’s felt the pull of the more metropolitan buzz of New York, and believes it will be better suited to the media frenzy and day-to-day activities that accompany a new album release.

Though it’s ironic the singer recorded the majority of his new album at his home recording studio in this Seattle home.

And if you could examine the lush foliage of the home’s backyard carefully, you just might be able to find the singer’s and his wife’s initials carved into a tree or two.

The artist’s home is being offered for sale by The Villalobos Group at RE/MAX Eastside Brokers.
