The Building Story

Spanish Eclectic architecture around landscaped courtyards

Villa Costella is a 20-home condominium at 348 W Olympic Place on Queen Anne’s southwest slope. Designed by Everett J. Beardsley, the property is a designated Seattle landmark. Its Spanish Eclectic character comes from the white stucco, red tile accents and arrangement of three connected building volumes around front and rear courtyards.

The three-story plan creates a range of garden and terrace relationships, so the outdoor experience changes by home. The city’s landmark record describes an E-shaped layout designed to create views and private outdoor space, while a later engineering report documents the condominium’s 20 residences and landscaped grounds. This is a building where the architecture remains central to ownership. Buyers should examine the individual entrance route and outdoor area, and understand how landmark review and association approvals affect changes to windows, terraces, exterior equipment and other visible elements.
