About this home

A rare opportunity to own a beautifully reimagined residence in one of First Hill’s most charming historic buildings. Originally built in 1930, The Gainsborough offers the romance of classic architecture paired with the convenience of modern urban living. This fully updated studio feels more like an elegant boutique hotel suite than a traditional condominium, with sophisticated finishes, thoughtful design, and every inch of the 525-square-foot space carefully considered. Designed for those who appreciate location and lifestyle, this turnkey retreat places you moments from Swedish Medical Center, downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, and an endless collection of restaurants, cafés, and cultural destinations. Whether used as a full-time residence, city escape, or investment opportunity, the flexibility of no rental cap and pet-friendly building make this an especially compelling offering. With dedicated storage, secure building amenities, and convenient nearby parking options, this is effortless city living in a truly special Seattle setting.
