Experience a rare piece of Seattle's history in this distinctive residence at the West Queen Anne Elementary School Condominiums. Originally constructed in 1920 and converted in 1984, the classrooms were re-imagined into private homes while thoughtfully preserving the historical exterior, high ceilings, large windows, and beautiful park-like grounds at the top of Queen Anne. This prime top-floor unit features bright western exposure and French doors opening to two private balconies. Move right in with upgrades such as newer flooring, fresh paint, and a stylishly remodeled kitchen. Cooks will appreciate the high-end stainless appliances and sleek European-inspired cabinetry. At the end of the day, your owner's suite is a surprisingly spacious retreat with its own sitting area, custom library shelving, walk-in closet, and private access to the generous full bath. Two more spacious bedrooms, including one on the main floor with balcony access, provide excellent flexibility for guests or a home office. An updated main-floor bath with shower and newer washer/dryer duo completes this just-right layout. Keep fit from the comfort of home in the lofty fitness center. On sunny days, the lush lawns beckon you to take a stroll or enjoy a picnic. Secure garage parking, extra storage, and great walkability to nearby amenities make this is a great place to begin your lock-and-go lifestyle!
