2303 E Alder Street

Seattle, WA 98122

This cool home was featured in Sunset Magazine for its bold architecture, incredible light, and the flexibility of a modern single-family home in the city. Wrapped in Corten steel and blackened cedar, this striking gabled home rises above neighboring rooftops with downtown Seattle views, windows on all four sides, minimal shared walls, and no HOA dues. Soaring 20-ft vaulted ceilings bring volume and drama to the main living area, while the skylit loft/solarium above makes an ideal office, studio, reading room, or guest space. The kitchen opens directly to a private deck for morning coffee, dinner outside, or summer BBQs. Downstairs, a separate-entry flex space with its own laundry and kitchenette works beautifully as a guest suite, media room, home office, or potential income-producing setup. A/C keeps the home comfortable in warmer months, and a dedicated off-street parking space is EV-ready. The layout offers a rare mix of openness and separation, with spaces that can easily change along with your needs. Set in the Central District, you’re close to great restaurants, coffee shops, parks, Capitol Hill, First Hill, and downtown, yet the home feels surprisingly private once you’re inside. Architectural character, smart design, city views, A/C, dedicated parking, potentially for 2 cars, and no monthly HOA dues. For buyers who want city energy without giving up style, space, or privacy, this is the one!
