The Gainsborough is one of First Hill's premier steel and concrete high-rise buildings, filled with historic charm and glamour. Spacious living and dining room, tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, crown molding and new double pane windows. A northeast-corner unit, it takes full advantage of the city and Lake Union views. The kitchen has great natural light and new stainless-steel appliances. The 2 bedrooms are tucked away for the main living area, along with the fully renovated bath. The community rooftop terrace garden is a great space to relax and take in the city views. Garage parking + storage. Just a couple blocks to Capitol Hill's popular Pike/Pine neighborhood: shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and groceries. An easy walk to transit ride to downtown and South Lake Union. A convenient commute to SeaTac and the Eastside.
