THE SEATTLE ADDRESS. ICONIC. RARE. IRREPLACEABLE. There are Seattle homes with views. And then there is West Highland Drive. Perched high on Queen Anne’s most coveted streets, it occupies a position that is nearly impossible to replicate—capturing a sweeping panorama of the Seattle skyline, Mount Rainier, Space Needle, stadiums, Elliott Bay and Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains beyond. This isn’t simply a view. It’s THE view that made Seattle. With only three owners in its history, this is the kind of property that rarely changes hands. And at $2,325,000, the opportunity is extraordinary. The home is move-in ready today, allowing its next owner to live comfortably in one of Seattle’s most remarkable locations while imagining what it could become tomorrow. The home features a grand main level with 10 ft cathedral ceilings & 8ft sliding glass doors that provide abundant light and volume in those grey Northwest days while welcoming the outdoors in. Enjoy it as it is. Or thoughtfully renovate over time and create a legacy residence worthy of this extraordinary setting. What cannot be recreated is already here: The address. The position. The view. The lifestyle. Opportunities like this are increasingly difficult to find on Queen Anne. Nearby land and redevelopment sales demonstrate just how valuable this location has become—including properties offering substantially less house and without the distinction of West Highland Drive.
