Designed by Pacific Northwest modernist architect Keith Nissen in 1965, The Talisman is a classic concrete-and-steel mid-century building tucked along a tree-lined street between First Hill, Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle. Inside, the residence unfolds as a dramatic loft with soaring 14-foot ceilings, a striking steel stair and mezzanine loft, and an expansive west-facing window wall. Unlike many homes within the building that look directly toward neighboring structures, this residence enjoys a more open outlook framed by mature trees, offering enhanced privacy, seasonal color and light. The dramatic volume creates a sense of space seldom found in a one-bedroom home while providing flexibility for daily living. Preserved with key architectural elements intact, the residence presents an opportunity to build value and shape the space according to your own vision. Whether pursuing a restoration of its mid-century character or a more contemporary interpretation, the ceiling height, natural light and architectural bones provide an outstanding foundation. A new high-efficiency window wall enhances comfort and efficiency. Building amenities include secure fob entry, elevator, fitness room, sauna, laundry and storage. Seller to pay current special assessment in full at closing. Offered without assigned parking and ideally suited for a walkable lifestyle, with Harborview, Swedish, Virginia Mason, restaurants, cafés, shops and entertainment nearby. Walk Score 99. Transit Score 100.
