Old World Charm Meets Modern and Sophisticated

Completed in 2008, Trace Lofts offers old world mixed materials with modern systems, convenance and reliability. The beauty of a time past shines to make this home one-of-kind. Modern and Sophisticated style is the essence of life in downtown Seattle. Sophisticated is a perfect description of this urban abode. Original fir floors stretched across the entire unit. Exposed brick wall with uplighting to accentuate the warmth of the material. Old growth timber ceiling adds to this dish and will have you and your guests gush over this home. The modern stainless steel kitchen includes gas cooking, large bathroom with plenty of storage, fresh paint. Tons of natural light floods into your South Facing windows which line the entire unit. Don't worry the owner added black out shades for those who prefer a little reprieve from the sun. Step in the front door and you'll see what makes this condo a special place to call home.

What people are saying

SEE ALL

“Having bought and sold several homes, I can honestly say Matt and his team are the best in the business! Matt is knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly organized. After we moved out of state, he handled everything — from new carpets and painting to cleaning and staging. The whole process was seamless, and working with Matt and his team remotely was completely stress-free. Thank you so much for making it so easy!”

Sold a home in 2025 in Queen Anne, Seattle

“We've worked with Matt twice now (both times very successfully) and honestly wouldn't go to anyone else. This time around we got to work with the whole team - everyone is so great and they all go above and beyond. GHAH just makes the whole thing so much easier and Matt keeps it so real. From day one they actually listened to what we wanted and what our budget was, but kept our expectations inline with what was realistic. It feels like working with someone who is genuinely on our side. They're incredibly organized and communicative too. Appointments were always smooth, they do all the scheduling with other companies as needed, we always knew what was happening next, and we never had to wonder where things stood. That kind of hand-holding (in the best way) makes a huge difference when the process can feel so overwhelming. We're also using Happy at Home Contracting - equally amazing! Medardo and team are top tier. Truly cannot say enough good things about Matt and the GHAH team!”

Bought and sold a Single Family home in 2026 in Roosevelt, Seattle, WA.

Mixed Materials add texture, warmth and character.

Sourly missed in most contemporary condos but not in Trace North. The brick, tiber and steel elements combine to create a master piece of modern luxury. You feel special inside this home!

Windows in everyroom

This is not an open one bedroom but a true one bedroom complete with windows!

Modern and beautiful

The kitchen is a thing of beauty! Plenty of dining space! The juxtaposition between modern and classic elements is masterfully executed. A rare treasure!
