Historic home with two balconies at Capitol Hill’s Trace Lofts

A charming one-bedroom condo at the Trace Lofts building in Capitol Hill, 1408 12th Ave. #305 is on the market. Situated within easy walking distance of the neighborhoods vibrant bar, restaurant and nightlife scene, unit #305 boasts a 1,028-square-foot layout—one of the building’s largest.

The Trace Lofts building itself is one of Seattle’s most notable historic warehouse conversions—originally built in 1919 and reimagined as condos in 2007. Unit #305’s distinct period features include 10-foot ceilings, steel cross-framing, old growth timber beams and reclaimed Douglas fir flooring.

Inside, past a closet with stackable washer/dryer, you’ll find the large, open-concept living space. The flow between the kitchen, dining room and living room are effortless, and a private balcony overlooking the neighborhood below is a nice bonus. Past the kitchen, and you’re in the home’s most private enclave—the bedroom. A barn door that otherwise conceals the bedroom closet can slide into place to provide even more privacy, while the home’s second little patio provides airflow, as well as a calming nook to enjoy coffee or to decompress before or after a busy day.
