The penthouse at 1223 Spring Street is an extraordinary piece of Seattle history and an architectural landmark. Designed in 1929 by prominent Seattle architect Earl Wilson Morrison, the building was conceived to bring the elegance and sophistication of New York’s Park Avenue apartment living to the Pacific Northwest.

Designed in 1929 by prominent Seattle architect Earl Wilson Morrison, the building was conceived to bring the elegance and sophistication of New York’s Park Avenue apartment living to the Pacific Northwest. Sitting atop this Art Deco styled concrete and stone building, the penthouse has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving its defining architectural character, the style is sophisticated, distinctive, and entirely unlike anything else in Seattle. The residence pairs three en-suite bedrooms with gracious living and dining spaces, while vaulted beamed ceilings, leaded-glass windows, mahogany hardwood floors, two magnificent wood-burning fireplaces, vintage moldings, forged-iron details, and period light fixtures speak to its exceptional craftsmanship. Panoramic city views unfold in every direction, complemented by two spectacular 750-square-foot terraces—one oriented east and the other west—offering remarkable settings for morning coffee, sunsets, and entertaining. Building amenities include an on-site manager and doorman, two secure parking spaces + storage. A singular opportunity to own one of Seattle’s most distinctive residences: a Deco-era Park Avenue masterpiece where architectural pedigree, beautifully preserved details and commanding city views converge.
