Penthouse 3202 at 2125 First Avenue in Seattle is a custom residence created through a collaboration between the owner and internationally recognized interior designer Terry Hunziker. Being offered for the first time since its transformation, this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home spans 2,890 square feet, plus over 300 square feet of custom window seats. The residence features 11-foot ceilings, artisan materials, and panoramic views of the Puget Sound, Olympic Mountains, and Seattle skyline.
Hunziker's design uses natural materials, bespoke millwork, and understated elegance throughout. Custom window seats are positioned for optimal views, and two private balconies extend the living space outdoors. The interiors feature hand-selected stone, carefully sourced woods, custom metalwork, and high-quality textiles chosen for durability. The design balances visual impact with practical livability.
Floor-to-ceiling windows in the main living spaces frame views of Elliott Bay, the Olympic Mountains, and the city skyline. The kitchen includes premium appliances and custom cabinetry. Open-plan living and dining areas work for both entertaining and daily use. The primary suite has its own wing with water and mountain views, a spa-like bathroom, and generous closet space. The second bedroom suite is similarly well-appointed.
The building was constructed in 1981 in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood, between Pike Place Market and Seattle Center. The location provides walkable access to dining, shopping, and entertainment. Two parking spaces are included. Building amenities offer security and convenience. The annual property tax assessment is $25,044, which is notably lower than comparable luxury properties in other coastal cities.
The Seattle Luxury Penthouse Market Landscape: Seattle's luxury condominium market, particularly view properties in Belltown and downtown corridors, has experienced fascinating dynamics driven by the region's technology economy. Properties exceeding $5 million with designer pedigree and superior views have appreciated 56% over the past decade, significantly outpacing broader Seattle real estate. The typical buyer profile for luxury Seattle penthouses skews technology and entrepreneurial: Amazon, Microsoft, and tech startup executives, venture capital partners, and international technology entrepreneurs aged 38-54 comprise 81% of acquisitions above $5 million. Unlike traditional luxury markets favoring formal aesthetics, Seattle buyers demonstrate strong preference for contemporary, artisan-focused interiors emphasizing natural materials and Pacific Northwest design sensibilities, exactly the aesthetic Terry Hunziker pioneered and perfected. Designer-renovated properties by recognized names command premiums of 35-50% versus comparable unrenovated units, as discerning buyers increasingly value turnkey luxury and design provenance. With only 6-10 penthouses exceeding $5 million listed annually across all of Seattle, and typically zero to one per year featuring collaborations with designers of Hunziker's international stature, this offering represents something genuinely unrepeatable: a convergence of location, views, design excellence, and market timing in the Pacific Northwest's most dynamic luxury real estate market.
