About this home

Welcome to top-floor living where the views do the talking. Perched on the 4th floor of a secure, gated community, this desirable south-facing condo is flooded with natural light and offers a front-row seat to the stunning blues of the Puget Sound. If you’ve been dreaming of golden hour sunsets over the water, you’ve found your spot. The layout of this two bedroom, two bathroom condo is all about ease and flow. The living area feels airy and open, anchored by a cozy fireplace that’s perfect for those crisp Northwest evenings and built-in library. Life here is as convenient as it is beautiful, featuring a one-car garage and a huge storage unit that’s a rare find for condo living. The community amenities feel like a year-round vacation. Spend your afternoons lounging by the well-maintained pool and spa, or host a gathering at the covered BBQ area. Located just moments from the Des Moines Marina, you’re close to local favorites like the seasonal waterfront farmers market, Anthony's waterfront dining, and miles of shoreline trails. It’s a lifestyle defined by salt air and easy commutes. Come see why life at the top looks so good!
