The Art of Going Nowhere — and Everywhere. For buyers that collect passport stamps as readily as they collect fine things, this extraordinary residence at the coveted Harvard & Highland asks only one thing of you: enjoy it when you're here, and forget about it completely when you're not. Spanning a generous 2,279 square feet — with the scale and comfort of a private residence, none of the maintenance theater — this is single-family living with a standing reservation. In an intimate, gated and secured building where neighbors are few and anonymity is effortless, lock the door, call the car, and go. When you are home, the rewards are considerable. Two fabulous terraces, embraced by mature vegetation views that sweep from landmark historic mansions to the iconic steeple of St. Mark's Cathedral, with glimpses of Lake Union shimmering beyond — a panorama that makes cocktail hour feel like an event. Inside, a thoughtfully open floorplan flows from living room to dining to kitchen with the kind of seamless grace that makes entertaining look effortless — because here, it genuinely is. Lush, manicured grounds and private courtyards complete the picture. And the location? Minutes from the best of downtown Seattle — world-class dining, culture, and commerce — yet tucked into one of the city's most quietly prestigious enclaves. Secure. Sophisticated. Completely self-sufficient. Just like its next owners.
