Perched on the 5th floor at First Hill Plaza — a striking steel-and-concrete tower — this northeast-facing two-bedroom residence lives level with the treetops, wrapped in walls of glass that flood one of the building's most efficient floor plans with natural light. The open kitchen has been beautifully renovated with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops, equally suited to quiet mornings and entertaining. The primary suite is a true retreat — spacious enough for a king bed with room to spare, anchored by a spa-like bath with a soaking tub and separate walk-in shower. Rare for the neighborhood: one oversized parking space and a large private storage unit, offering everyday convenience you won't find just anywhere downtown. Step into a newly renovated lobby with round-the-clock concierge, then head upstairs to resort-caliber amenities — laps in the rooftop pool, friendly competition on the private tennis and pickleball court, and an on-site guest suite for visitors. All of it minutes from the very best of what Seattle has to offer.

Spanning nearly 7,000 square feet, the unrivaled full-floor penthouse at First Hill Plaza commands unobstructed 360-degree views from Seattle’s highest residential elevation - sharing the same altitude as the iconic Space Needle. Walls of glass capture sweeping views of the city skyline, the Olympic and Cascade ranges, Lake Washington, Lake Union, Bellevue, Elliott Bay, and Mt. Rainier - merging into a single, ever-changing panorama. A comprehensive remodel by Jay Deguchi in collaboration with George Suyama honors the original architecture while inviting natural light deep into every room. Arrive through a serene, highly secure lobby with 24-hour concierge service, newly refined by designer Susan Marinello. From there, private elevators deliver you to the 32nd-floor penthouse lobby. The generous floor plan includes four fully en-suite bedrooms, a guest suite with full kitchenette, a wood-paneled library, a custom bronze wet bar, a private fitness room, two expansive view terraces, and six secured parking stalls. The amenities are equally exceptional: an indoor pool, spa, patrolled security, a 24 hour concierge, and a private tennis court; a distinction no other residential Seattle building can claim. A home of this provenance and scale is seldom available. Seller financing may be considered.
