Why they chose this property
Capitol Hill is Seattle’s most vibrant and eclectic neighborhood, celebrated for its bustling nightlife, historic charm, and cultural diversity. As the city’s LGBTQ+ hub, it embraces a sense of inclusivity and community, which is reflected in its many events, such as Pride celebrations. Highlights include Volunteer Park, with its stunning views of the Seattle skyline and Puget Sound, and the Seattle Asian Art Museum housed within the park. For dining, you’ll find everything from farm-to-table spots like Oddfellows Café to the iconic pizza haven, Big Mario’s. Capitol Hill is also a coffee lover’s paradise, with charming local spots like Victrola Coffee Roasters. By night, enjoy its thriving music scene at Neumos or intimate bars like The Pine Box. With its mix of cozy homes and urban energy, Capitol Hill has something for every traveler.
What makes this property unique
This house is truly unique, nestled in the heart of Capitol Hill on what was once known as “Millionaires’ Row.” This historic area was home to shipyard, lumberyard, and real estate moguls. The house itself carries a rich legacy, having been built by the Skinner family—pioneers who were among the first owners of the Space Needle and the Seattle Seahawks. Originally constructed as a private residence for the Skinner family’s unmarried daughter, this home combines both history and charm, offering a one-of-a-kind stay in a truly remarkable location.
