This exceptional condominium home represents a rare opportunity at one of downtown Seattle's most prestigious addresses. It is located in Millennium Tower, a 20-floor building built in 2000 with 18 exclusive residences positioned on its top five floors. Homeowners enjoy a unique sense of privacy, downtown amenities at their doorstep, and breathtaking city, water and mountain views.

This luxury condominium home is one of only two 2-story units with water-facing views. Completed in 2006, the 4,600-sq.-ft. residence was finished with sophisticated urban style, fine surfaces, and extraordinary attention to detail. The main floor has an open floor plan that incorporates the entry, living and dining areas, kitchen and home office, creating an ideal space for contemporary living and grand-scale entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling windows lining the west wall afford panoramic views stretching from Mt. Rainier to the Olympic Mountains. Marvelous waterfront vistas by day give way to spectacular sunsets and sparkling city lights at night.

Luxury finishes include Venetian plaster walls, limestone and hardwood floors, and solid oak woodwork and cabinetry. The expansive living area easily accommodates a grand piano and multiple seating arrangements. The adjoining dining space has a built-in buffet, as well as unique glass easels for rotating art display. Double doors open to a balcony with sweeping views of the waterfront and mountains. The office overlooking the living area has a wall of built-in shelving, custom oak desk topped in granite, and cabinetry for computer components.

The spacious kitchen has granite counters, abundant oak cabinetry, and an oversized center island with counter seating. Built-in banquette seating faces a flat-screen TV positioned in the island. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer drawers, Miele dishwasher, and Gaggenau 5-burner gas cook-top, double ovens and warming tray. A temperature-controlled wine cellar off the kitchen accommodates 2,000 bottles. An elegant powder room by the entry serves the main floor.

A stunning, steel-trimmed staircase leads to the second level. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer glorious views to a gallery with a study and custom oak desk. Pocket doors provide privacy to adjoining bedrooms. The master suite has carpeted floors, a headboard with built-in control panels, and triple pane view windows that make it an unusually quiet, tranquil retreat. The master is also endowed with a large walk-in closet and an outstanding bath with honed limestone floors, an Italian soaking tub, glass-walled shower with bench, and 'his and her' water closets with sinks set in marble-topped vanities. The other two bedrooms share a three-quarter 'Jack and Jill' bath with limestone floors and glass-walled shower. One bedroom offers a walled lined in closets plus a walk-in closet with built-ins. An area off the gallery can function as either a third bedroom or an upstairs study.

A high-tech media room on the second level has built-in cabinetry for audio/visual equipment, including a plasma screen TV. Also located on the upper level are a large utility room equipped with Tromm front-loading laundry facilities and a mechanical room that houses the electrical panel, two hot water tanks, and advanced heating and cooling equipment. Another noteworthy amenity is a big storage closet with portfolio shelving -- an art collector's dream.
