Garth Stein is known for his 2008 blockbuster novel, “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” followed by the 2019 film. However, not as much is revealed about his home life.Seven years before the New York Times bestseller was published, he and his wife (filmmaker Andrea Perlbinder Stein) bought their “forever house” in Seattle, explains listing agent Amy Sajer of Windermere Real Estate/Luxury Portfolio International. Now, that home is on the market for $2,450,000.After raising three kids, the Steins are ready to downsize.“They were there 25 years. Their last kid has gone to college.
