Top. Floor. Corner. The three most coveted words in the condo lexicon. Top floor, corner means no one above you and no one on one side. Thick concrete and steel construction abates neighborly and street noise. The Decatur is a mid-century marvel built in 1950, the leading era of quality construction. A concrete and steel high-rise that vibes New York City; strong, impressive, yet elegant. Top floor, 1 bedroom, 1 bath home with partial lake & city views. Two elevators will whisk you to the top floor and a rooftop deck. Sporting new carpet and fresh paint leaving you with nothing left to do but pack, move, and play. Easily accessed storage unit in the basement and on-site manager to accept packages and rapidly attend to owner requests. Pet-friendly, secure and located on the corner of Spring and Boren; it doesn't get more First Hill focused than the Decatur.

Pike Place is your corner store. Residence 501 at The Emerald, downtown Seattle’s 40-story landmark at 2nd & Stewart, puts the city’s greatest hits within a few blocks: the Market and the original Starbucks two blocks west, the Moore Theatre one block north, the new Overlook Walk and revitalized waterfront, Seattle Aquarium, and the Great Wheel just down the hill. Westlake Center and the Monorail are two blocks east, and Westlake Station’s light rail carries you to Capitol Hill, the stadiums, or Sea-Tac without touching a car. Seattle Art Museum and Benaroya Hall are a five-minute stroll; the Space Needle, Climate Pledge Arena, and Pioneer Square an easy walk or a short ride. Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass draws the city’s brick and terra cotta into a light-filled open plan: wide-plank hardwoods, custom wood cabinetry, a gas cooktop and stainless appliances set against a veined slab backsplash. The bedroom frames its own slice of skyline; a spa bath, full-size in-unit laundry, and a dedicated work nook finish it out. Then take the elevator up: a glass-wrapped sky lounge with panoramic Elliott Bay views, rooftop terraces with fire pit, outdoor kitchen and al fresco dining, plus fitness center, yoga studio, dog run and pet spa, and 24-hour concierge. Built in 2020, The Emerald offers the rare combination of new construction, a true walk-everywhere address, and a lock-and-leave lifestyle in the heart of the city.
