1107 1st Ave Unit #2002, Seattle, WA 98101
Commanding the southern edge of The Watermark residential tower, Penthouse 2002 spans east to west; a disciplined composition of glass, terrace and skyline. Two covered decks extend the living spaces outward, enjoy views of Mount Rainier, The Salish Sea, ferry crossings and the cadence of a working harbor. From this elevation, Seattle’s landmarks unfold: The Smith Tower, King St. Station, The Central Library, SAM, Benaroya Hall, Coleman Dock and the evolving waterfront parks. The orientation captures light from morning to dusk, framing a southern view corridor that is rare, enduring and distinct. Designed by Bumgardner Architects for Cornerstone Development, crowning one of downtown Seattle’s most architecturally significant towers, the timeless-deco rigor and boutique scale favor permanence over spectacle. Originally the developer’s own residence, this penthouse carries proportion and restraint, defined entertaining rooms, substantial wall planes for showcasing art and a wood-burning fireplace anchor the living space with material presence. Meticulously updated kitchen and baths, new windows, upgraded glazing and refreshed common areas reflect a community investing in its future. Dedicated parking adjacent to the elevator and skybridge, as well as dedicated storage add convenience. Professional on-site management completes the offering. Steps from Pike Place Market and the Waterfront Park via Post Alley. Penthouse 2002 is defined by structure, permanence and position.
Offered at $1,250,000
