A Room with a View



Have you seen the view from the penthouse? It's a stunner. 
Welcome to 2226 West Riverside



Walking through this penthouse condo made me dream of the days when my sweet children are out of the nest and my husband and I are free to move our nest into the heart of the city.


Imagine cooking up fabulous dinners in this kitchen




Or hosting a cocktail party here





Or waking up on a lazy Sunday here



3 of my favorite things about the West Riverside Condominiums

1. That view

2. The 290 square foot deck on which to enjoy that view

3. The heated driveway into the very clean, dry and secure parking gargage


If you are in the market for just such a place and want to see it, don't hesitate to ring Laurie or I for a private tour.

Welcome to the City.

Downtown Spokane offers an urban experience like no other.  Its made up of unique neighborhoods nestled in and around the downtown core. Its a city brimming with renowned chef owned restaurants, top-shelf shopping including original boutiques, local wineries and tasting rooms, regional art and live entertainment opportunities.
