Modern Madison Valley loft with private deck

This bright, true-height two-level loft on East Madison Street is located near bars, restaurants and one of Seattle’s loveliest green spaces. The one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom unit—one of 23 at the Madison Lofts—boasts 1,032-square-feet, an open layout and a private deck. Steps from the Madison Lofts, the 230-acre Washington Park Arboretum, including the Seattle Japanese Garden, are at your fingertips.

Built in 2008 using concrete and steel, the space features floor-to-ceiling windows and 15-foot ceilings. Hardwood floors provide a timeless, soft balance to the modern elements, including corrugated ceilings and metal stair rails.

Past a well-appointed half-bathroom and roomy storage closet, the entryway opens into the kitchen and dining rooms. The kitchen provides ample counter and cabinet space, plus a steel-topped kitchen island. Upgrades include stainless steel Monogram appliances, slab countertops and custom cabinetry.

The home’s focal-point—the wall of windows—allow for abundant natural light to stream in. The windows also put the large, main floor deck into sharp focus. Enclosed by bamboo and other greenery, the deck looks extra-private—as ideal for solitary activities like yoga, meditation or reading as it would be for larger gatherings.

Upstairs, the lofted bedroom provides full-height vertical space. The ensuite is practical and well-designed with a double vanity, while a walk-in closet offers racks and shelf-space aplenty.
