Its own place in the city

Building character

The architectural story

The value here is locational and historical rather than amenity-driven: it sits just uphill from Lake Street and the Kirkland waterfront parks, within walking distance of the downtown core and Marina Park. Current NWMLS-distributed listings consistently report an outdoor pool, elevator service, a shared laundry room, a lobby entrance and common outdoor areas. Because of the building's age, reserve study, systems history and capital project planning deserve particular attention during due diligence.
