The historically rich Cristalla condominiums are 22 stories high, and are located in the heart of down town Seattle. Real estate in this area has proven to be a great investment. This high rise, comprised of 191 homes ranging from 1 bedroom and 2 bedrooms to studios and penthouses, has a unique history that greatly increases its value and elegance. Originally known as the Crystal Pool Building, the beautiful building has been standing on the streets of Seattle since 1913. Architect Martin Priteca was commissioned to design the Crystal Pool Natatorium. The pool was very unique due to the dome of sparkling glass above the water. The visual impact was beautiful. This dome has been renovated to preserve the history of this classic building, and is now the entrance to these classy condominiums. Large windows at the Cristalla condos insure a well-lit atmosphere in all condos. However, residents may find the beautifully landscaped sky terrace more appealing; offering a 360 degree view of Elliott Bay, the Space Needle, and the Olympic and Cascade Mountains. The terrace of these Belltown condos includes a fenced dog park, a sun-bathing area, and barbeques.
For those rainy Seattle days, a glass-enclosed sky lounge with a gas fire place and comfortable seating area is a great place to enjoy the rain, while staying dry. The building offers full amenities, ranging from a media room to a full time concierge. Residents of these classy Belltown condos are welcome to use the sleek business center, well equipped gym, or meet with other owners in the community room. Along with these great attributes, a guest suite, spa, and sauna are also included. The modern finish of concrete and steel contrasts the gorgeous lobby. It is complete with a floating grand staircase, glass chandeliers, comfortable guest seating, and unique pieces of art. Seattle real estate doesn't get much better than this. The full service concierge station is equipped with a manager's office, storage for packages, and dry-cleaning. The staff at the Cristalla condominiums aims to please, and do whatever they can to make you happy and comfortable.
