A treasure on the Queen Anne Hill: Unit 303 in the Apollo, a well maintained mid-century building, boasts commanding views of the Seattle skyline, West Seattle, Elliott Bay, Mt. Rainier, and the Washington State ferries. From outside, you and your guests will admire the lovely landscaping surrounding both sides of the uniquely patterned stairwell. The lobby floors smartly mimic the steps of the entry walkway. Inside the unit, glossy hardwood floors, original tile, and clean lines will delight the modern and mid-century modern enthusiast. The open kitchen allows for the chef to be distracted by the moods of the view while cooking. The living space is easily big enough for dining and formal entertaining while the bedroom has large closet space and an extra nook for a home office or private reading area. With a note to ease of living, a stackable washer and dryer hides in one of the hallway closets. Located in the well loved neighborhood of Queen Anne near Kinnear Park, magnificent mansions mix with convenient bus lines and popular businesses. With quick access to downtown, this fashionably forward community embodies both traditional and contemporary living.

As Seattle grows and expands its skyline and downtown core, it becomes harder and harder to find places that embody old Seattle. But here, across from the landmark Gasworks park, and tucked neatly between Fremont and Wallingford, this condominium complex offers both the sweetness of location and the comfort of amenities. Lush landscaping gently fills architecturally delightful walkways, and common areas are plenty and as well designed as a downtown high-rise. This is a third floor unit, beautifully positioned to take advantage of views of the landscaped courtyard and Seattle’s dynamic cityscape. Peek a boo views show the lake and the waterfront activity of sailboats, seaplanes, and kayaks, houseboats, twisting kites, and front seat to fireworks and fourth of July Festivities. Updated with a eco-green modern twist upgrades include; renewable cork flooring, natural rainfall slate surround on the fireplace, ceramic tile in the entry way, totally repainted with low-VOC, low odor Aura Benjamin Moore paint, CFL lights, and flexible closet storage system. Radiant in floor heating warms the feet.
