Chic Pioneer Square loft with Puget Sound views

Built in 1900 and converted to condos in the late-1980s, 80 S. Jackson St. #205 is a piece of Seattle’s vibrant story. Steps from downtown and the waterfront, the home includes one bedroom, one bathroom and a flex-use lofted space across 1,100 square feet. The remodeled home combines extra-rich, period-appropriate architecture and an updated, modern design—the best of both worlds.

Indicative of its age, the property’s defining features include 14-foot ceilings, walls of vintage exposed brick and beams. More recent updates include new light fixtures, ceiling fans and a new electrical panel. Unit #205’s airy living room and open-concept kitchen make it ideal for entertaining—including its views of Puget Sound just outside. The eat-in kitchen island between the two spaces provides room to catch up with the chef while they’re cooking.

Accessible from the main hallway and situated above the kitchen, a half-height lofted space is well-suited to function as a guest room, office, den or reading nook. The primary bedroom was recently outfitted with a closet system, double doors and an inset reclaimed window. A shared rooftop provides incredible panoramic water, mountain and city views, a perfect backdrop for happy hours on Seattle’s sunny days. 

A pedestrian’s or cyclist’s dream, the loft’s location in historic Pioneer Square makes a ideal jumping off point for exploring the city. Hop downstairs for coffee at Third Culture Coffee or get a bicycle tune-up at neighboring Back Alley Bike Repair, and then you’re ready to hit the town.
