Vintage luxury reimagined at the Gainsborough. Reminiscent of a Park Avenue brownstone, this urban pied-à-terre has a walk score of 100, as everything you need is right outside your door. No need for a car (but there is covered parking included in a security garage), and you can enjoy everything Seattle has to offer. Located in a beautiful well-built architecturally-interesting vintage building, the Gainsborough is well preserved with a robust board that ensures the integrity of the building. As an urban sanctuary located on Seattle’s coveted First Hill, you will enjoy the pedigree of this prestigious area. This cozy retreat has been updated, offering both comfort + privacy. The price reflects the tabula rasa of the unit, awaiting a new owners vision. You'll enjoy generous living room, large restored view windows and parquet floors. Galley kitchen abuts the dining room, blending a classic vibe with modern updates. Two large bedrooms, vintage tile bath and 1 secure parking space included. A sophisticated home for the discerning Seattleite.
