About this home

Located within the historic West Queen Anne School; Residence #306 represents one of Seattle’s most distinctive architectural conversions. Originally designed in the late 1800s by noted Seattle Schools architect James Stephen and thoughtfully reimagined as private residences, the building preserves its historic character while incorporating modern convenience. Elevated above the grounds, the home enjoys westerly light and a quiet sense of retreat. Defined by soaring ceilings, expansive Palladian windows, and warm westerly exposure that fills the space with natural light and evening sunsets. Vertical volume and open layout are an ideal setting for showcasing art and entertaining, blending historic charm with contemporary living. Perched atop Queen Anne on a serene, 1.6-acre campus, the residence enjoys privacy, mature landscaping, and a tranquil residential atmosphere while remaining moments from downtown Seattle’s cultural and commercial amenities. Controlled access garage parking, deeded storage, elevator access, and professional management provide lock-and-leave ease and a predictable ownership experience. Ideal as a refined pied-à-terre, downsizing opportunity or distinctive urban retreat; appealing to those who value architecture, light and authenticity within one of Seattle’s most treasured historic conversions.
