This completely bespoke co-op is a study in thoughtful reinvention—PNW cabin soul meeting sleek Scando detail. Walnut engineered hardwoods, custom shelving, and an electric fireplace with an iron mantle and surround create spaces that are equal parts cozy and architectural. The refreshed kitchen is smartly designed with abundant storage, quartz counters, ceramic tile backsplash, and updated appliances. A studs-out bath remodel delivers a true retreat with a soaking tub, penny tile floors, excellent storage, and a reclaimed sliding door into the bedroom. A light-filled atrium anchors the home, ideal for indoor plant lovers and perfectly suited for dining, creative work, or a serene home office. Melrose Co-op offers rare amenities including an indoor pool, gym, woodshop, parking with community EV chargers, and expansive west-facing 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, and light rail—this is craft, calm, and considered living at the center of the city.
