Singular Contemporary Design High Above Puget Sound

Truly one of the most exquisite and holistically designed residences in Seattle, the concept, detail and construction quality of this unit represent a masteršs level of perfectionism. Just completed in 2006, this 21st floor, southwest corner unit in Continental Place features brilliantly adaptable space planning, the finest materials and technology available, and the opulent use of natural surfaces such as black absolute granite, slab quartzite, Brazilian cherry and macassar ebony. Custom installed video and audio systems, built-in furniture and storage ensure efficient, uncluttered living, while a subtle palette and classically modern aesthetic emanate a sensibility of supremely refined and polished luxury. A must see.
