With restricted elevator access for ultimate privacy, the penthouse includes masterful interior designs and endless city, mountain and water views

New York, New York (April 22, 2020) — The newly finished penthouse atop Seattle’s distinguished landmark, Escala, is an arresting medley of floor-to-ceiling windows framing stunning city views that stretch across Puget Sound to the Cascade Mountains then layered with luxurious interior accents throughout. Wide-plank white oak floors, top-of-the-line appliances with Calacatta quartz in the kitchen, and porcelain surrounds with a Blu-Stone free-standing soaking tub in the master bath are just some of the thoughtful highlights.

“The most exceptional units since the building’s completion in 2010 were reserved and since executed with impeccable taste and vision. No detail has been overlooked in the artful design of this extraordinary top-floor penthouse, which has never been lived in,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate Seattle who is representing the property.

The Escala Penthouse is being offered for US$8,995,000 with the option to also negotiate sale of the furnishings.

The three-bedroom apartment, with two full baths, a three-quarter bath and powder room, is entered by a private elevator vestibule with two access points: one of which is to the main living areas and a private junior suite and the other to the two remaining bedrooms.

The public areas of the 4,522-square-foot penthouse are introduced through a foyer to the open floor plan concept. The living room, warmed by an Ortal fireplace with custom steel metalwork surrounds, flows into the formal dining area — allowing for alfresco entertaining with its glass doors opening to the expansive terrace — and then the light-drenched morning room, plus a quiet reading room.

The chef’s kitchen, with its pantry, is an ideal entertaining theater with seating around the Calacatta quartz island. The same white stone is a backdrop for the stove top and its hood. Gaggenau and Miele appliances are seamlessly integrated into the dark-hued custom cabinetry, creating a distinguished color contrast.

The junior suite, with its three-quarter bath and discretely located off the foyer entry, is appointed with glass double doors opening onto this same curving terrace.

The private master suite is bisected by another double-sided Ortal fireplace, separating the sleeping quarters from the sitting area. Both lead out to the penthouse’s second private balcony. The bathrooms are an engineering tour de force, with more than 40 slabs of porcelain bathing the floors and walls, each slab requiring up to six people and a full day to install. The master bathroom alone possesses close to 20 slabs of porcelain. The oversized master Italian closet, with separate alcoves for each owner, was created by Pianca with custom built-ins. The second en suite bath is on this wing.

Five parking spaces in the building are also reserved for the penthouse.

The building’s common amenities include a spa, lap pool, gym, yoga studio, theater, catering kitchen and private dining for larger parties, plus 24-hour concierge service. Located in Midtown Seattle, one of the city’s most vibrant enclaves, residents are within walking distance of premier retail shopping, fine dining, the theater, opera and symphony.
