Walls of windows, skylights, and a central atrium flood the home with exceptional natural light, while warm wood beams and rich textures create a sense of comfort and understated elegance. Designed for effortless living, this rare single-level home offers elevator access directly from the lobby into the unit. The main living spaces are oriented to maximize the views—perfect for quiet mornings or evenings spent watching the city glow at sunset. A thoughtfully designed kitchen opens seamlessly to the living and dining areas, blending function with style. Private spaces continue the experience, with water and city views extending into the bedroom—creating a peaceful retreat above it all. The lower level offers a generous flex space with wet bar, currently styled as a home office—ideal for remote work, guests, or additional living space. Complete with a detached garage and convenient alley access, and a private heated pool shared by just four residences, this home offers a rare blend of comfort and exclusivity. Extensively updated building with significant recent capital improvements throughout. All just a short stroll to the Alaska Junction’s shops, dining, and local favorites, with easy access to downtown Seattle—this is elevated West Seattle living at its finest.
