Just Listed Just Sold | The Historic Amalfi Co-Op

Just Listed Just Sold | The Historic Amalfi Co-Op   Yes – we Divas “Just Listed and Just Sold” another stunner of a home in The Historic Amalfi Co-Op. The #DivaDifference strikes again. We sold this home in 7 days for 18% over asking. How you ask? Our three step plan to success: fix what’s broke, make it beautiful, and market the heck out of the home – aka The Diva Difference. This adventure started way back in 2016 when our #DivaDweller, Jennifer, decided to sell both of her top floor units at the Amalfi. She purchased them separately but then converted them to one big penthouse palace. Which meant this co-op unit was sans kitchen. Since the south corner home, unit #5 was pretty much ready to go, we were able to quickly spiff and stage that co-op and sell it easily last fall. Once 2017 rolled around – it… Read More »

This was our second year living it up forty stories above Seattle at the Premier on Pine. We were so excited to have such a fabulous group of people joining us for the evening. It was even more heartwarming to see folks bonding, laughing, and making new connections. Making new friendships and continuing others – this is what makes Divaland so great.

Our Diva Dwellers Melanie and Ed bought this adorable bungalow in the early 2000s and swanked it up from a dated fixer to the beauty she is today.

Capitol Hill Condo of the Week

  Capitol Hill condo of the week is the Gainsborough 1017 Minor Ave #1104. Yes, I know it’s technically on First Hill, but it’s close enough and simply too stunning for me to pass up on a chance to tell you about it.  Andrew Jackson of Windermere has just listed this amazing property and you really need to go see it. This is one of those special units that you won’t see very often. To put it in perspective, if Carrie Bradshaw suddenly felt the urge to leave New York and move to Seattle this is where she would live. When I am out touring with my future Dwellers the number one biggest complaint I hear about Seattle homes is their lack of closet space. Well, that is not a problem here. The spacious bedrooms also come with spacious closets. The master bedroom closet especially just seems to go on. It can fit all the Prada… Read More »

Capitol Hill Condo of the Week

Capitol Hill Condo Home of the Week is at The Palermo: 1029 Belmont Ave E #302 $595,000 When the Palermo was built I was twenty-one years old and just starting to discover the magic of Capitol Hill. The Palermo was an early favorite of mine. Chris Karsteter of Coldwell Banker Bain has a stunning listing that shows off all the reasons to take the leap and make yourself a Diva Dweller in this fabulous condo home. I don’t know what makes me happier about this home, the stunning panoramic views from Capitol Hill or the spacious floorplan. Sometimes condos can have really awkward and unusable spaces. This condo makes the most of every bit of square footage. The open living room, kitchen, and dining area make for comfortable living and lively entertaining. Because this unit is west facing there is no shortage of light beaming into every room of the home. Two bedrooms… Read More »
