About This Building
Serana is a boutique condominium building positioned on the western slope of Queen Anne, offering a distinctly different character from lower Queen Anne's busier Seattle Center-adjacent corridor. Built in 2001, the 48-unit, 6-story building reflects contemporary architecture and residential design — a departure from the institutional scale of mid-rise buildings closer to Seattle Center.
The building's location on Queen Anne's western exposure offers quieter residential character while maintaining excellent proximity to Seattle Center, the waterfront, and Elliott Bay Trail access. Serana's contemporary design, private balconies on many units, and boutique 48-unit scale appeal to buyers seeking Queen Anne location without the hustle of the Seattle Center precinct. This is a neighborhood feel within a modern urban building.
Serana units range from one-bedroom to three-bedroom configurations. Many units feature private balconies offering views toward Elliott Bay, the waterfront, or Queen Anne neighborhood. The building includes resident amenities and HOA management focused on resident comfort and community quality of life.

Due Diligence
Key factors every buyer should evaluate before making an offer. Jeff Reynolds covers these in every Queen Anne building consultation.
Serana was built in 2001, making it newer than many Queen Anne buildings. Contemporary construction means modern mechanical systems, better insulation, and updated electrical infrastructure. However, review the building's reserve studies to understand long-term capital planning for systems now 25+ years into their lifecycle.
A 48-unit building creates a smaller HOA community compared to institutional mid-rise buildings. This can mean tighter resident relationships and more personalized management, but also potentially higher per-unit HOA fees. Review HOA financials, reserve adequacy, and resident satisfaction metrics.
Serana's western Queen Anne location near the waterfront can offer views and proximity to Elliott Bay Trail, but also requires attention to sound transmission, waterfront-adjacent environmental factors, and potential flooding considerations. Assess the building's elevation and any historical water management issues.
Unlike Seattle Center-adjacent buildings, Serana offers a quieter residential neighborhood feel. This appeals to buyers prioritizing tranquility, but verify that the location aligns with your lifestyle. Access to shopping, dining, and entertainment requires walking or brief driving compared to buildings closer to Seattle Center.
