About this property
LIGHT-FILLED SEATTLE CONDO WITH LOW HOA DUES & RENTAL FLEXIBILITY! Low HOA dues and a rental-friendly policy make this a compelling opportunity for homeowners and investors. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street between First Hill and Capitol Hill, this light-filled home offers a peaceful retreat with exceptional city access. Large windows fill the home with natural light, while the flexible layout lives comfortably like a one-bedroom, with a defined sleeping area and separate living space. Generous storage includes a walk-in closet and extra building storage. Located on the private first floor at the back of a classic 1930 building, the home feels quiet and removed from the city while keeping everything within easy reach. The primarily owner-occupied building is well cared for, with recent improvements supporting simple, low-maintenance living. With a Walk Score of 98 and Transit Score of 100, Seattle University, First Hill hospitals, Whole Foods, and neighborhood favorites including Boon Boona Coffee, Salt & Straw, and Top Pot are just outside your door. Head to the rooftop terrace for open skies, city views, and a peaceful retreat above it all. Light-filled, low-maintenance, exceptionally connected, and rental-friendly—an easy place to call home and a smart opportunity to own in one of Seattle’s most walkable neighborhoods. Flexible parking options add even more convenience.
