South Lake Union penthouse loft with city views

401 9th Ave. N #614 is a one-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom modern loft in the heart of Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood. A quick walk to Lake Union Park and Seattle Center, the 1,005-square-foot property enjoys easy access to top attractions. Built in 2009, the home’s amenities include an open concept floor plan, soaring ceilings and two outdoor areas. 

Just inside, a bonus space–ideal for an office or den–provides added utility opposite of the main level’s half-bathroom. Concrete floors and exposed wood beams along the ceiling continue into the kitchen, dining room and main living area. Situated below the loft, the updated kitchen offers bright wooden cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a large, functional eat-in island. 

Deeper into the home, the roofline shoots upward to an impressive 18′. An almost equally tall bank of west-facing windows bathe the living room–and the rest of the home–in natural light. A cozy balcony offers views of the Space Needle and skyline–an ideal spot for morning coffee and sun-loving plants. 

The lofted bedroom looks out across the living room, providing the property’s inhabitants with city-views from the moment they wake up. Just beyond the bedroom, past the ensuite full-bath, the bedroom offers a privately accessible patio. An ideal retreat–for sipping wine, reading a good book, veggie gardening or practicing yoga–the outdoor space can function in whatever way suits you best.
