Seattle Condo Review: Blog with News & Advice about Seattle Condos

Where in Seattle will the investor money go in 2008?

4217 Fremont

4217 Fremont, a boutique condo with only 6 units total started selling earlier this year. Surprisingly, the penthouse went off the market first.

Say what you will about the pricing, this is probably one of the most unique projects in Fremont. Featuring all two bedroom units, the homes range from 1,170 to 1,366 square feet. I took a look this week and of the remaining units, unit 4 seems to have the most interesting layout. At least one of the ground floor units has a nice patio out back but somehow I didn't feel entirely safe based on a few articles of discarded clothing that was in the corner by the stairs (unclear if it was left by the construction crew or someone else).

A few things about this condo:

The project started their pre-sales effort in 2004, however, the developer had a few projects going on and decided to put this condo on hold. After more than 1 year of no construction, they started on the construction again and completed it in 2007.

Looking at the layout, finishes and size, this is could be the ideal affluent bachelor pad for someone looking for a more modern, edgy and spacious layout in a central location.  Higher end Viking appliances and trendy glass cabinets grace the kitchen as well as really nicely done bathroom finishes.  With the road a bit noisy for the front facing units, the central air conditioning will probably come in handy for this building.
