Located in Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood, this thoughtfully designed one-bedroom, one-bathroom residence offers a clean, modern aesthetic with warm, inviting touches throughout. Light wood-tone flooring runs continuously through the space, complementing the crisp white walls and recessed lighting that keep each room bright and airy. The living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by oversized windows that frame treetop and city views, flooding the space with natural light. The galley-style kitchen is efficiently appointed with gray shaker cabinetry extending to the ceiling, stainless steel appliances including a full-size refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, and microwave, all set against a classic white subway tile backsplash with quartz countertops. A long hallway connects the living areas to the private bedroom, which features a striking botanical-print accent wall that adds depth and character to the cozy retreat. A dedicated closet with built-in shelving provides organized storage. The bathroom is finished with a sleek floating vanity in gray, a white quartz countertop, large mirror, and in-unit laundry. A sliding barn door and clean architectural lines complete this well-planned, contemporary Seattle residence.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
