No address in Seattle says luxury and glamour more than 1920 Fourth Avenue. Located in the heart of downtown Seattle, Escala is a 31-story luxury condominium tower that redefines urban living - offering its residents awe-inspiring city, water and mountain views; exceptional amenities including a private club, full-service gym, theater, restaurants, and more; and truly unique floor plans with private elevator vestibules, incredible architectural details and exquisite finishes.
“Escala’s newest top-floor penthouse (#3102) is by far the most luxurious penthouse available in downtown Seattle,” says Scott Wasner, co-founder and executive vice president of Christie’s International Real Estate - Seattle. “It offers glamour and glitz that has never been seen by Seattle before.”
Completed in March 2020, the 4,522 sq. ft., three-bedroom penthouse takes advantage of its superior location with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout and three incredible terraces that provide breathtaking, panoramic views from the Puget Sound to the Cascade Mountains. While the views may captivate you day and night, the residence’s design and finishes are its true stars. Truly, no expense was spared and no detail was overlooked in this home.

The level of stonework, woodwork and cabinetry found throughout are second to none. More than 40 stone slabs were used in the home, including nearly 20 quartz slabs alone that line the master bathroom’s walls, floor and counters. Custom cabinetry, some imported from Italy and others being beautiful, domestic white oak, and impeccable wide plank hardwood floors give natural warmth to the penthouse that boasts an open, flowing floor plan.
The kitchen is the ultimate in gourmet luxury. Open to the living and entertaining areas, the kitchen features Calcutta quartz countertops, island and walls, stunning European linear-railed cabinets and professional-grade Miele appliances.
An incredible level of home automation technology can also be found in the home. Window shades, lighting, music, and TV are supported on one Lutron system using touchpads and mobile apps, while a Google Hub system controls entry, locks, heating and cooling, and safety alarms.
One floor below this flawless residence sits the penthouse well-known as the inspiration for Christian Grey’s home in the best-selling book series, Fifty Shades of Grey. Wasner, who was the broker for the sale of this “famous” penthouse in 2013 and 2018, says, “While the Fifty Shades penthouse is stunning, the quality of construction of this new top-floor penthouse is unparalleled.”
“You will never see quality like this again,” says Wasner. “The extraordinary materials used along with its unrivaled downtown location make this penthouse the find of a lifetime.”
