The Building Story
A mid-century tower on Belmont Avenue
The Lamplighter is a 63-home condominium tower at 505 Belmont Avenue E. Completed in 1962, it gives Capitol Hill buyers a mid-century alternative with a taller building form and varied outlooks by floor. Documented residences include generous living areas and terraces, with upper homes enjoying broader city and water views.
The common facilities identified in NWMLS records include a pool, game room, elevator and shared laundry. Garage and guest parking are also documented, but allocations and availability should be checked for the residence. Buyers should compare the terrace’s depth and exposure with the interior plan, then review the upkeep of the pool, elevators and building envelope. An upper-floor address alone does not establish the same outlook or outdoor comfort for every home.
