Mosler Lofts, Belltown - 987sf. 1 Bed + 2 Decks & Space Needle View. A loft-style one-bedroom in one of Belltown's best-run buildings, and one of its few LEED Silver-certified ones, which you'll feel in the light, the air, and the utility bills. Just under 1,000 square feet of open-plan living, engineered hardwood floors, custom cherry windowsills, and tall windows framing a Space Needle view. The kitchen handles both weeknight takeout and a real Sunday dinner, and the bedroom is properly sized; rare in this segment, and you'll notice. Two private balconies give you room for herbs, a morning coffee, or a friend with a glass of wine. One secure garage space and a large storage locker included. The building earns its keep: concierge, 24-hour security, fitness center, guest suite, library, bike storage, and a rooftop deck with grills, a fire pit, a community herb and salad garden, and sweeping views of Elliott Bay and the Needle. Management is genuinely good and the community is friendly, not a small thing in a downtown high-rise. Step outside and Belltown does the rest. Seattle Center is minutes away, Elliott Bay's waterfront is a short jaunt, and Pike Place, the symphony, the theaters, and the city's best restaurants are all within easy reach. Downtown living, without the trade-offs you'd expect.
