The Building Story
Early Queen Anne character on First Avenue West
Highland Court is a 13-home condominium at 1216 1st Avenue West, with a construction date of 1916 in NWMLS records. Its brick exterior and early twentieth-century origins give it a different architectural character from Queen Anne’s later concrete towers. The address sits near Kerry Park and the neighborhood’s shops and cafes, placing the surrounding hilltop streets at the center of its appeal.
The 2026 listing for residence 103 documents the interior character of one home: tall ceilings, substantial trim, hardwood flooring and a corner layout with large windows. That two-bedroom residence also includes a primary suite, a small office or reading area, laundry and assigned garage parking. Renovations vary by residence. The same listing identifies windows installed in July 2025, a useful reminder to distinguish a particular owner’s improvements from work completed for the entire association.

Good to know
Before choosing a home here
- Ask which windows, plumbing and interior alterations belong to the specific home and which were association projects.
- Confirm the garage-space and storage assignments in the resale documents, including the route from parking to the residence.
- Inspect the actual ceiling heights, room proportions and available work space; the documented corner plan does not establish every unit’s layout.
