Harbor House is one of Lower Queen Anne’s iconic mid-century buildings. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, this light-filled southwest corner home sits in a solid concrete and steel building just blocks from Seattle Center, Uptown, Kinnear Park, the waterfront, downtown, SLU, and the Mercer corridor. Close to everything, but not right on top of it. The spacious two-bedroom, two-bath layout features bright living and dining spaces, warm hardwood floors, and a private covered deck for morning coffee, evening wine, or watching the ferries cross Elliott Bay. The generous primary suite includes an ensuite bath and a Space Needle view, with a front-row seat to the fireworks. Harbor House offers secure entry, two elevators, dedicated garage parking, guest parking, plentiful zoned street parking, and two large storage units, one in the home and one in the storage room. HOA dues include water, sewer, garbage, cable TV, earthquake insurance, central hot water, and more. A smart, stylish, low-maintenance home in one of Seattle’s most connected neighborhoods.
