About Sanctuary

Sanctuary is a Mid-Rise building in Capitol Hill, Seattle. Built in 2011 with 12 residences across 4 stories.

Building Details

12-unit historic conversion in Capitol Hill. The former First Church of Christ Scientist, built 1906, converted to condominiums in 2011.

Sanctuary occupies the former First Church of Christ Scientist on Capitol Hill—a landmark building constructed in 1906 and sensitively converted to 12 condominium residences in 2011. The result is one of Seattle’s most distinctive addresses: a boutique townhome community where vaulted ceilings, exposed concrete, original brick, and structural steel meet the energy of Capitol Hill’s most walkable blocks.

Homes at Sanctuary feature lofty, character-filled interiors that reflect the building’s ecclesiastical origins, with outdoor spaces oriented toward Space Needle views. The scale—just 12 residences—creates a genuinely close-knit ownership community that stands entirely apart from Capitol Hill’s larger condo developments.

Capitol Hill’s restaurant corridor, independent retail, and cultural institutions make it Seattle’s most vibrant urban neighborhood, and Sanctuary sits at the heart of it. Link Light Rail at Capitol Hill Station connects residents to Downtown, the University District, and Sea-Tac. As a 2011 conversion with over a decade of HOA history, the building has an established ownership community, board governance, and a reserve fund that reflects the responsibilities of managing a historic structure.

How does Sanctuary compare to other Capitol Hill condos of similar size? +

Sanctuary is an entirely different category from Capitol Hill’s conventional mid-rise condos. Its 1906 origin as the First Church of Christ Scientist, 4-story townhome scale, and just 12 residences produce characteristics—vaulted ceilings, exposed concrete and brick, Space Needle-oriented outdoor spaces—that cannot be replicated in new construction. Jeff Reynolds can advise on how Sanctuary compares to Klee, The Meridian, and other Capitol Hill buildings at similar price points.
