Wake up to breathtaking, panoramic views that redefine waterfront living. This exceptional residence offers extraordinary vistas of Puget Sound, where you can watch ferries glide gracefully from downtown Seattle to Bainbridge Island creating constantly changing seascapes. Beyond the sparkling water, the majestic Olympic Mountains rise in the distance, delivering unforgettable sunsets and a dramatic backdrop in every season. This corner penthouse offers an exceptional blend of space, privacy, and Northwest charm. The open kitchen and family room features peninsula seating, a cozy fireplace and private balcony, creating a warm, inviting setting for everyday living and relaxed entertaining. An oversized living and dining room—also anchored by a fireplace—provides an elegant backdrop for gatherings. The primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat, with its own balcony overlooking the peaceful, forested hillside behind the building—an ideal counterpoint to the vibrant energy of the nearby Alki Trail. Thoughtfully designed with a .75 bath and abundant hanging and storage space, it combines comfort with functionality. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath offer flexibility for guests, office space, or hobbies. A dedicated washer and dryer room, a large hall closet, and an extended gallery-style hallway to display artwork complete this distinctive and beautifully balanced home. Your indoor parking space is situated next to your storage room and your second space is in the rear.
