Living in a 100% owner-occupied building creates a rare opportunity to truly know your neighbors, fostering a community where everyone is deeply invested in making the space better for all. Welcome to Unit 705, a brilliantly configured 751-square-foot home bathed in natural light from two huge North East-facing windows. It is a dreamy spot to snuggle up with your morning coffee and watch the sunrise and listen to the birds. Unlike many city condos, this thoughtful layout offers plenty of room for a large table to host dinner parties, a dedicated home office setup, and a spacious living area with room for a big couch to relax. The kitchen was updated in 2019 with sleek cabinets, a fridge, and a microwave, topped off with a brand-new 2025 dishwasher. The refreshed bathroom features fresh paint, a modern vanity, and great cupboard space. Storage is truly unmatched with two massive in-unit closets plus a large, secure storage unit downstairs. Melrose Co-op offers rare amenities including an indoor pool, gym, woodshop, parking with community EV chargers, and expansive west-facing sunset views from the garden terrace and rooftop deck. With a new building envelope completed in 2012 (roof, windows, siding), the building is thoughtfully maintained. Tucked into a quiet pocket of Capitol Hill, yet steps from parks, restaurants, the #3 bus and the light rail. A chance to start your homeowner journey in a building that cares!
