1301 Spring Street unit12b

Modern, elegant and relaxing are all words that best describe the overall sense of design, luxury and serenity achieved in this exceptional condominium. Located in First Hill Plaza, Seattle’s premier residential high-rise, unit 12B has just undergone a comprehensive remodel by its art director owner, and overseen by Brennan Interior Design. No expense has been spared in the process of developing this east facing, one bedroom, one and a half bath unit into the ultimate expression of lush modernism and chic liveability. Stunning views of Lake Union, the Cascades and beyond, coupled with the building’s incomparable amenities, make this a uniquely sophisticated urban retreat.

Unit 12B was designed by the noted mother and daughter team of Brennan Interior Design to embrace a warm and restful pallet of sunlit colors and rich surfaces. New long strip Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring has been laid throughout the unit and is complemented by crisp new casework and subtle variations of paint color from the Devine and Benjamin Moore lines. Virtually every surface has been replaced or rejuvenated to the highest standard.

Unusually large for a one bedroom apartment, the “B” floor plan at First Hill Plaza offers features and conveniences all but unheard of in anything but significantly larger units in other buildings. Main living spaces are grand in scale, comprising a formal entry hall, view living room and dining area with wet bar, a spacious kitchen and a handy powder room for guests. Private spaces combine to function as a true master suite, accessed through a central door for privacy, and include a large bedroom with views over Lake Union, a full bath with sauna and a huge walk-in closet that is so well configured that it could probably see double duty as a home office! A beautiful view patio brings the outdoors inside, and completes a plan that feels opulent yet manageable.

Every detail has been crafted with an eye toward refining the already clean modern lines of this unit. The original Siematic 6006 kitchen cabinets, themselves a design classic, have been completely refinished in a warm polenta shade, and reconfigured and rebuilt to better suite contemporary needs. New top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances by KitchenAid, GE Profile, Maytag and Frigidaire complement the minimalist presence of these cabinets, while a stainless U-Line Wine Captain provides perfect temperature management for a nice collection of vintages. All counters, backsplashes and toe kicks are faced in slab, Black Galaxy granite with an undermount Franke stainless sink, while ample lighting is provided by recessed and undercabinet fixtures. An instant on hot water dispenser completes the package.

Both bathrooms have been designed to convey a sense of spa-like comfort and glamour. The master bath is covered in floor to ceiling 2” white tile, and uses light and mirror to stunning effect. All fixtures are by Axor/HansGrohe, Waterworks and Restoration Hardware, and exhibit an exquisite, jewel-like simplicity. The powder room is equally dramatic with floor to ceiling bronze mirrors, black fixtures and a vessel sink atop a floating granite countertop.

First Hill Plaza offers incomparable amenities for the discerning buyer. The friendly and professional management and staff provide a level of service similar to that of a fine hotel and ensure absolute security and peace of mind. The common areas are elegantly and timelessly designed and the thirty third floor comprises an indoor pool, outdoor hot tub, function room with catering kitchen and state-of-the art workout facility, all surrounded by an outdoor promenade offering the best views imaginable of Seattle, the Olympics, Cascades, lakes and Puget Sound. The grounds are park-like and include a tennis court.

Truly an exceptional enclave for those seeking the best that Seattle has to offer!
