Contemporary Queen Anne home with panoramic city, water views

Situated on Queen Anne Hill’s south slope above the bustling South Lake Union, 1229 3rd Ave. N is a 7,390-square-foot contemporary home. With walls of glass that capture abundant natural light, the five-bedroom, six-bathroom property features panoramic views of the skyline and Elliott Bay. 

Built in 2002 and remodeled in 2021, the property’s four floors feature elegant glass railings, open living spaces, vaulted ceilings and stone and wood floors. The main entrance is on the home’s second floor, where you’ll find a formal entry area, several bedrooms, a laundry room and garage access. The heart of the home is on floor three, which includes a sizable living room, formal dining room, wrap-around kitchen and breakfast nook. Each of these spaces offer a truly awe-inspiring backdrop—sweeping views of downtown Seattle, the Space Needle and beyond. A deck brings these iconic views into closer focus, providing ample room to entertain.

On the fourth floor, the impressive master ensuite enjoys a peaceful ambiance and the same incredible views–plus a private covered patio. The master bath features a luxe soaking tub, double vanity and separate shower. 

A two-bedroom condo on the first floor would be well-suited for a private guest suite, as an income property, space for multi-generational living or for a caretaker. The unit enjoys a separate entrance, open-concept living and kitchen areas and direct access to the backyard. The kitchen boasts an eat-in island, gas range and stainless appliances, while a fireplace keeps the living area cozy and warm.
