About This Home
A two-level Capitol Hill penthouse with private outdoor space on both floors, including a deck of over 300 square feet off the upper level. The view does the talking: downtown, the Space Needle, Elliott Bay, the Olympics and Lake Union, all of it from your own deck. Inside, 1,638 square feet behind a wall of west-facing glass, with light that lasts. The 2026 refresh is done and dialed in: quartz counters with a full slab backsplash, new stainless appliances, new flooring, new lighting, and fresh paint top to bottom. Open living and dining, a gas fireplace, and a private balcony off the main level. The entire upper floor is the primary suite: second gas fireplace, walk-in closet, and a door straight out to that 300-plus-square-foot deck. Two bedrooms plus a den, and air conditioning. Two assigned parking spaces in the covered garage plus storage, rare up here. Twenty-two-unit building, 77.3% owner-occupied.Walk out and you're three minutes from Harry's Fine Foods, four from Cornelly and Summit Public House, four from Top Pot, six from Analog Coffee, seven from Espresso Vivace. Capitol Hill Station is a two-thirds-mile walk, with Link to downtown, the U District, the airport and Bellevue, and Metro 3, 9, 49 and 60 nearby. Amazon and South Lake Union are an easy walk or bike. You can live here without a car.A true penthouse: two floors, two fireplaces, two parking spots, and over 300 square feet of private deck with that skyline on it. Bring your buyers.
