This week we're heading checking out the five least expensive properties for sale in Downtown Seattle. Boundaries are set by the realtors. We didn't include any property that's currently in contract. A friendly reminder: read the fine print, as some of these abodes have strings attached.
Address: 737 Olive Way, APT 2210
Asking price: $395,000
Size: 650 sq. ft.
Rooms: 1-BR, 1-bath
The skinny: We featured this apartment recently since it's located in Olive 8, where this season's Top Chef contestants live. We knew it was affordable but we didn't realize it was the cheapest Downtown condo on the market. 650 square-feet ain't much to speak of but the balcony and the view make it a much sweeter deal.
Address: 2000 1st Avenue, Apt 902
Asking price: $415,000
Size: 976 sq. ft.
Rooms: 1-BR, 2-bath
The skinny: "A sense of opulence pervades every room of this 1 bedroom + den unit in the much sought after One Pacific Tower," says the listing. The dark hardwood floors give off that whole opulent thing and the views aren't half-bad given the location. True opulence is probably going to come from what you fill this space with, as it leaves a lot of room open to interpretation.
Address: 1000 1st Ave, Unit 1503
Asking price: $439,000
Size: 805 sq. ft.
Rooms: 1-BR, 2-bath
The skinny: This condominium is located in Madison Tower above the award winning Hotel 1000. Not only do you get a pretty elegant space inside the condo but you also have access to hotel amenities such as room service, spa, a virtual golf facility and 24-hour concierge.
Address: 1119 1st Ave, Apt 310
Asking price: $450,000
Size: 1,087 sq. ft.
Rooms: 2-BR, 2-bath
The skinny: Now we're talking. For $450K, you're getting a remodeled 2-bedroom condo in a retro 1900's building with charming touches like the metal boxes and tilted mirror in the bathroom. Lots of potential here.
Address: 1519 3rd Ave, Apt 501
Asking price: $519,000
Size: 1,377 sq. ft.
Rooms: 2-BR, 2-bath
The skinny: According to the listing, "Manhattan meets Seattle." You'll get to live in the 1913 Fischer Studio Building, which is on the National Historic Register and features exposed structure living with industrial aesthetic. The unit has hardwood floors, swing open windows, updated master bath, separate in-unit laundry room and an office. Not to mention you're right in the heart of downtown.
