Experience the wonder of living in the clouds…
Magic happens when the rarest of opportunities present themselves.
This extraordinary home is truly one of a kind, offering arguably the best breathtaking and unobstructed views in Seattle. It feels as if you are looking into the 'eye of the Space Needle,' with the entire Seattle skyline beneath you. Majestic Mount Rainier, the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges, and Puget Sound with its surrounding islands complete the panoramic vista. Witness glorious sunrises and sunsets daily. Toast to magical twilight evenings on your terrace as soft orange and pink hues light up the skyline.
This is your opportunity to own the entire top floor of this well-known boutique building on famed W Highland Drive, one of the most notable and charming tree-lined streets on Queen Anne hill. The pocket-sized Kerry Park, often cited as having the most iconic views of downtown Seattle, is next door.
Completely re-imagined and reconstructed in 2016, this home features floor-to-ceiling windows and doors along the South side, bringing the entire city into your living space. Sleek modern design pairs with warm, rich woods and surfaces.
The artfully designed grand kitchen features custom Indian rosewood cabinets, black honed granite counters, a Wolf cooktop and warming drawer, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, two Miele dishwashers and ovens, and a large prep island. Adjacent are the lovely informal dining and sitting areas, which overlook the entire city.
Two sets of sliding doors open to a private deck, offering plenty of room for outdoor dining or watching the ever-changing light dance across the Sound and city skyline.
The elegant formal dining room, with an exquisite crystal chandelier and a custom exotic Mozambique built-in cabinet and buffet, sets the tone for memorable gatherings, while its window frames a perfect shot of the city and infuses the space with natural light.
Find a relaxing oasis in the huge primary suite with Rift Oak wood built-in shelves and cabinets, a hand-crafted bed, gas fireplace, an intimate sitting area for two, a luxurious bath with a large soaking jacuzzi-type tub, and a one-of-a-kind granite double shower. Two sets of vanities and views that rival postcards await. The enviable showroom closets with top-of-the-line black walnut cabinets and lighted glass doors make getting dressed an occasion all its own. Jewel-like Swarovski crystal knobs and pulls, coupled with unique Swarovski sconces and crystal chandeliers, add special details for those with exceptional taste.
Two large en-suite guest bedrooms add convenience and flexibility. One is climate controlled with Acacia flooring and is currently used as a gym. Both rooms offer sweet balconies with northern views of Queen Anne.
Etched glass barn doors open to a large den with an office space, sitting area with custom Walnut cabinetry, steel shelving, built-ins, a cozy gas fireplace, and windows offering western views. There is a second den/office featuring exotic Mozambique cabinets and shelving with northern Queen Anne views.
A spacious family/media room, with a combination of Fumed Rift wood and bleached Rift Oak wood wall-to-wall built-ins, along with surround sound, creates a relaxing space to watch movies, play cards, or read.
Two custom-designed powder rooms, each with Venetian plaster paint and Walnut Burl vanities, offer privacy and convenience.
A large walk-in pantry houses the washer and dryer while an additional laundry room offers more space for ironing, folding, and more.
5 secure parking spaces ensure secure sufficient off-street space for your vehicles as well as for visitors.
Building amenities include on-site management, a rec room, expansive view deck, gym space, 2 climate-controlled wine storage spaces, and 2 storage spaces.
No expense was spared in this complete remodel. All systems and surfaces were replaced using the finest and sometimes rarest of materials and the highest level of equipment. The extraordinary craftsmanship is evident throughout the penthouse. All concrete floors are heated, and each room has its own unit for heat and air conditioning (except the 2 powder rooms). There is a private heat pump on the roof for air and heat. Sophisticated lighting system throughout. All doors are Black Walnut. Each room features exquisite built-in custom wood cabinetry and shelving.
It's hard to find a one-level penthouse with 3 bedrooms, 5 baths, a family/media room, plus two dens, spanning over 5,300 square feet. This home is for those with the most discerning taste, who crave privacy and yearn for an unrivaled setting, with top-of-the-world views and amazing sunsets.
Included in the purchase of this penthouse is a separate studio unit on the first floor of the building, ideal for use as an office, library, meditation room, or private guest space for visitors.
