Wake up to the Space Needle glowing gold at sunrise, downtown Seattle's iconic skyline framed perfectly from your bedroom window. Then step into the living area, where Elliott Bay, Mt. Rainier, and Myrtle Edwards Park stretch out before you in a panoramic west-facing display that turns every sunset into a private show. Built in 1963, Harbor House embodies the soul of mid-century Seattle, with clean lines, generous proportions, and an unhurried sense of quality that modern construction rarely captures. Freshly updated with brand new carpet and paint throughout, the unit honors its heritage while feeling crisp and move-in ready. As a coveted end unit in the building, natural light pours in from multiple exposures, amplifying every view and every moment. Custom storage, dedicated garage parking, an oversized patio, and thoughtful layout make everyday living as effortless as the scenery. Steps from the best of Lower Queen Anne, restaurants, the waterfront, Seattle Center, yet tucked away enough to feel like your own private escape. Pet friendly. Don't just visit Seattle, live it.
