Amid a bustling city, traffic noise, and crowds, find your sanctuary at the Ruby Condominium Unit 111. Despite being located close to the I-5 highway, the noise is nonexistent once you step into the unit and close the door. The entry to the garden patio directly from the unit lets you enjoy the outdoor amenities like grilling or just reading a book on a lazy day. The patio overlooks Lake Union and city views. The Ruby is conveniently located on Eastlake Ave E near the University Bridge with a short walk to the University of Washington and its top-rated Medical Campus. Cyclists will appreciate biking on the Burke-Gilman Trail to Fremont, the U-Village shopping center, or Seattle Children's Hospital. Commuting to South Lake Union or Downtown is a quick ride along Eastlake Ave E to Fairview Ave N. There are two bus routes next to the condominium. Bus 70 takes you to the Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center and South Lake Union's tech offices (Amazon, Google, etc.) through downtown to Pike Place Market. Bus 49 takes you to vibrant Capitol Hill, Seattle University, and First Hill medical facilities and eventually brings you downtown. Both buses take you to the U-district. If you prefer to drive, there is quick and easy access to highways I-5 and 520 for a shorter commute wherever you want to go. Your nearby dining out options are ample. There is an award-winning sushi restaurant, Sushi Kappo Tamura, right in the building on the ground level; Johnny Mo's Pizzeria is by the University bridge, and Little Water Cantina and Mioposto Pizzeria are a few blocks down Eastlake Ave E. The French bakery Le Fournil is also a short walk away. Saint Bread and the Wayland Mill, across the University Bridge, are hot spots now. Want to take a SUP on Lake Union? Do it. The lake and SUP rental is just a 3-minute walk away. Unit 111 has been 90% remodeled (new hardwood floors, new carpet, new blinds, new paint, and re-finished granite countertops). It is 801 sq ft, 1 full bathroom, and 1 bedroom. There is a hallway, a large dining and living room area to set up a couch, a small office space, and a dining area.
