About This Building
Harvard & Highland is a 36-unit historic condominium building in Capitol Hill, constructed in 1927. With nearly a century of continuous residential use, the building is one of Capitol Hill's oldest surviving condo addresses and offers buyers a genuine connection to the neighborhood's pre-World War II architectural heritage.
1927 construction in Capitol Hill reflects the neighborhood's development as one of Seattle's first streetcar suburbs. The building's architecture is characteristic of late-1920s residential design: masonry or brick construction, period proportions, and detailing that no contemporary building can replicate. Harvard Avenue and Highland Drive are among Capitol Hill's most historically significant residential streets.
As a nearly century-old building, Harvard & Highland has unique HOA considerations. Building systems -- plumbing, electrical, mechanical -- have been updated across multiple cycles, and the HOA's capital reserve planning reflects the long-term stewardship of a historic structure. Buyers should conduct careful HOA financial due diligence.

Due Diligence
Key factors every buyer should evaluate before making an offer at Harvard & Highland. Jeff Reynolds reviews these items as part of every buyer consultation for this building.
Harvard & Highland was built in 1927—nearly 100 years ago. At this age with 36 units, conventional Fannie Mae financing is almost certainly unavailable. Plan for cash or a portfolio lender. Request the reserve study with a detailed focus on building envelope, plumbing risers, electrical systems, and elevator (if present).
Buildings from 1927 on Capitol Hill typically reflect the Arts and Crafts or early Art Deco period—warm materials, architectural detail, and proportions that contemporary construction doesn’t deliver. Verify current unit condition and the integrity of original architectural features.
HOA fees for Harvard & Highland must be confirmed directly. At this age and unit count, per-unit maintenance and reserve costs are higher than modern buildings. Request the reserve study and operating budget before any financial analysis.
The Harvard-Belmont Historic District on Capitol Hill is one of Seattle’s most established and architecturally significant residential areas. Proximity to Volunteer Park, the tree-lined residential corridors, and Capitol Hill’s cultural core makes this location highly desirable for buyers seeking mature urban character.
