Welcome to the OG modern townhome; it's cooler than the new kids. We should just say "house", because this is a stand-alone home with its own gorgeous garden and no HOA.

A little history: Pb Elemental broke the Craftsman-style lock-hold on townhome design in the early 2000s when they started presenting crisp, airy, distinctly modern homes around Seattle.

This one blends post-industrial elements (a steel grate entry catwalk, polished concrete floors) with custom green-built elements like the reclaimed slab fir vanity.

The layout is brilliantly livable, blending vaulted, open entertaining areas with secluded private spaces. The garden is divine; so much better than a fry-me roof deck.

And the location works beautifully. Nestled at the toe of Beacon Hill, it's a 3 minute walk to the new Judkins Park light rail, or 15 to Beacon Hill station and all the hip restaurants. Going further afield? Truly central, you’re 10-15 minutes from just about everywhere, from Capitol Hill to downtown, Columbia City and even the Eastside.
