Sweeping Elliott Bay & Olympic Mountain Views | Large Sunny Deck | Designer Kitchen | Exceptional Storage
2 Bed | 2 Bath | 1,100 SF | Uptown / Lower Queen Anne
$3,940/month
Enjoy sweeping views of Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains, and Magnolia from this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condominium in Seattle's desirable Uptown / Lower Queen Anne neighborhood. With approximately 1,100 square feet of living space, this home offers a rare combination of breathtaking scenery, a designer kitchen, exceptional storage, and outstanding walkability. Watch ferries cross the bay, enjoy spectacular sunsets year-round, and experience some of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic views from the comfort of home.
The spacious private deck provides the perfect setting to enjoy afternoon sunshine and evening sunsets. In addition to its outdoor living space, the deck includes two large exterior storage closets, offering convenient room for seasonal items, outdoor gear, and more.
At the heart of the home is an oversized designer kitchen, custom-designed by Emily Wignall Design and extensively remodeled in 2021. Rarely found in Seattle condominiums, the space features custom cabinetry, abundant storage, expansive prep surfaces, and premium Bertazzoni and Bosch appliances. Whether preparing weeknight meals or entertaining guests, the kitchen offers a level of functionality and scale that sets it apart from typical condo living.
Two generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with a well-appointed primary suite featuring its own private bathroom.
Storage throughout the home is exceptional, with multiple large interior closets, extensive kitchen cabinetry, two dedicated outdoor storage closets, and an additional private storage locker in the building's basement providing significantly more storage capacity than is typically found in Seattle condominiums.
Additional updates and improvements include:
-New air conditioning system (2026)
-New electric heating system (2021)
-New hardwood flooring throughout (2021)
-New interior doors and trim (2021)
-Updated bathroom sinks, faucets, and countertops (2022)
Located in a welcoming and well-maintained condominium community, the home offers easy access to everything Uptown has to offer. Walk to neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, Seattle Center, the Olympic Sculpture Park, Myrtle Edwards Park, and Centennial Park. South Lake Union and the Expedia campus are also within easy walking distance, making commuting simple and convenient.
This is a rare opportunity to enjoy comfortable city living while taking advantage of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic features--water, mountains, sunsets, and outdoor access all from the comfort of home.
