An Urban Oasis on Queen Anne Hill
Queen Anne Hill is a coveted Seattle neighborhood, and for good reason. It's where urban convenience meets a serene, classic neighborhood feel. With its tree-lined streets, gracious homes, historic apartments, and walkability, it's no surprise that it's a top destination for those new to the city.
The heart of the hill is Queen Anne Avenue, a lively "main street" offering everything you need for a comfortable lifestyle. From grocery stores and a diverse array of restaurants to cozy coffee shops, bistros, and retail boutiques, the neighborhood hub is just a few blocks away.
A Timeless Retreat at 1800 Taylor
Just a few blocks east of Queen Anne Avenue, you'll find the charming 1800 Taylor Condominium. Built in 1948, this building exudes a classic, almost Art Deco-style simplicity from its exterior, while the interiors feature the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic of mid-century design. The building is quiet and has a solid feel that one would expect from the construction. The 47 units contain a combination of one and two bedroom units.
This unique complex is a peaceful cul-de-sac, tucked away and surrounded on three sides by the Queen Anne Greenbelt and Two Parks. Imagine having nature trails right outside your door, offering a private, peaceful oasis in the midst of a dynamic urban neighborhood. The building provides assigned off-street parking, with extra parking for visitors -- a rare and valuable amenity in this area. The units themselves are notably spacious, a hallmark of the era in which they were constructed.
On the fourth floor, a beautiful end corner unit awaits your personal touch. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is bathed in natural light year-round thanks to its treetop-level, northeast-facing orientation. The price is right, and it's a fantastic opportunity to create your dream home. We suspect long hidden under the carpet are the original hardwood floors. The track lighting in the hallway provides a striking feature, turning the entrance into the perfect gallery space for your art collection.
The HOA dues for this unit are an unusual value, covering almost all utilities, including water, sewer, garbage, and even heat and hot water from the building's boiler. A convenient storage locker on the first floor is also nearby for stowing away seasonal gear.
This is a no-pet building and has no rental cap, making it an excellent investment opportunity, whether you're looking for a personal pied-à-terre or a full-time residence.
