About this home

Vintage corner-unit condo at the historic 1928 Ives building perfectly blends period romance with modern city convenience. A formal entry and dedicated dining area lead into a bright living space featuring gleaming hardwood floors, while leaded glass French doors elegantly frame the room. Large unique iron picture windows frame beautiful maple trees outside and flood the rooms with beautiful natural light from two directions, highlighting original mahogany woodwork, coved ceilings, graceful arches and built-ins. The thoughtfully modernized open kitchen features an island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a built-in breakfast nook, while the bathroom showcases classic octagon tile floors. Set in a secure, pet-friendly building with shared laundry, bonus secure storage and bike room, this home places you close to Lake Union waterfront recreation, neighborhood cafes, and the Burke-Gilman Trail. With quick access to Interstate 5, Capitol Hill, South Lake Union, UW, and downtown, this home offers an unforgettable mix of historic character and effortless Seattle living.
