About this home

More than just a spacious condo with downtown Seattle views, this exceptional residence lives like a home. Created by combining two corner units, it offers 1,641 sq ft of well-designed living space, abundant natural light, and privacy rarely found in the city. Floor-to-ceiling windows showcase stunning city and Lake Union views, creating a bright, inviting backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. The gourmet chef-inspired kitchen opens seamlessly to the expansive living area. Three bedrooms, including two private en-suites, offer flexible living. Located in Sutton Place, Seattle's iconic Mid-Century landmark known as the "Purple Palace," this Donald N. McDonald-designed masterpiece debuted in 1960 ahead of the World's Fair, showcasing innovative glass curtain-wall construction and aluminum framing ahead of its time. Beautiful cork flooring throughout, brand-new custom blinds on west-facing windows, in-ceiling radiant heat, garage parking, storage, elevator access, no rental cap, and a heated pool complete this rare offering, nestled on one of First Hill's quiet, tree-lined streets moments from downtown, Capitol Hill, South Lake Union, parks, dining, shopping, and major medical centers.
