Reminiscent in elegance and refinement of New York’s upper-eastside, the Old Colony is a stunning example of sophistication and formality, the cornerstone of early 20th century residential architecture. Built in 1909, the Old Colony was Seattle’s first luxury apartment building and remains one its most desirable buildings. Meticulously maintained, the building retains the opulence of its early days, with ornately patterned textiles, stunning woodwork and original brass fixtures. The unit is no less spectacular, with 10 foot ceilings, beautifully maintained hardwood floors, a rich color palette, a refinished bathroom with a claw foot tub and abundant windows and closet space. It is the many period details that truly give this home its charm. These details include substantial wood pocket doors separating the formal dining room for the spacious living room, beautiful French doors, and the original built-in kitchen hutch. Not only is the Old Colony lovely on the inside, but is it located in one of Seattle’s most vibrant neighborhoods. It is only a short walk to fantastic restaurants, quaint cafes, and exciting nightlife.
