“This is an urban oasis sited on a wooded corner lot, featuring 10’ ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass along the west side, and a ribbon of corrugated glass skylights along the east roof line, providing ample daylight,” the listing boasts.

A home designed by a father of Seattle’s Space Needle and an architect remembered for his efforts to preserve Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market has hit the Central Seattle real estate market at 14th and Spring.

The 1950-built, 1,100-square-foot midcentury modern home was designed by Victor Steinbrueck, “a celebrated pioneer in Seattle’s historic preservation who also drafted early concept designs for the Space Needle,” as his own residence, the listing boasts.

The well grown-in, tenth of an acre corner lot and the two-level, one bedroom, one bath structure are being listed at $995,000 but you can expect that price to jump — “The seller will review offers on Apr 3rd,” according to the 1401 E Spring listing.

It has had the same owner since 1993, according to King County records.

Steinbrueck, who died in 1985, is known for his preservation efforts in the city and his work helping design Seattle’s most recognizable landmark but the E Spring residence isn’t currently subject to any landmarks or historic preservation restrictions.

The unique structure has survived waves of redevelopment that have dotted neighboring single family-dominated blocks with townhomes. If you are planning to buy and bulldoze the Steinbrueck house, don’t let Victor’s son, “slow Seattle” advocate Peter Steinbrueck, know about it.
