Why Graystone Seattle Is First Hill’s Defining Condo Tower
The Graystone represents a new era for First Hill, developed by Daniels Real Estate and designed by LMN Architects. While many of the city’s new luxury condo towers have risen in Belltown or South Lake Union, this one brings high-rise sophistication to a neighborhood known for its history and cultural depth. This is a more residential and historic vibe compared to busier neighborhoods, yet it’s still minutes from downtown, Capitol Hill, and Seattle University. The building itself rises 30+ stories and houses 271 residences, ranging from efficient studios to spacious two-bedroom homes and penthouses. Homes feature floor-to-ceiling windows, engineered hardwood flooring, and kitchens with sleek quartz countertops and Blomberg appliances. Many upper-level units have postcard-worthy views of Lake Union, Mount Rainier, and Puget Sound - the perfect balance of elegance and serenity. But don’t sleep on the conveniences here. Residents enjoy everything from co-working spaces and meeting rooms to a fully outfitted fitness center, yoga studio, club room, and a rooftop terrace with fire pits and dining areas. Add in a pet lounge, bike storage, and 24-hour concierge, and the building makes it easy to live, work, and relax without ever leaving home.
