Property Description

Some homes are simply places to live and then there are those shaped by the beauty of their surroundings. Welcome to this 1 owner, custom-built waterfront residence set on the Puget Sound. Nearly 2 acres alongside 119+ / - ft of no-bank beach, this property was thoughtfully created to embrace the natural landscape. From the water’s edge, views stretch across Totten Inlet and the Olympic Mountains, creating a magical backdrop that changes with the tides, weather and seasons. The entertaining residence offers 4 beds (3-bed septic) and an upstairs media / exercise room. Main level centers around a great room where a wall of windows opens to a covered deck. Main floor primary offers 2 closets and a hotel-inspired bath + extra bedroom with ¾ bath. Lower level with 2 more beds and baths. Best of all, discover the unexpected, a hidden speakeasy tucked behind a bookshelf. Exposed beams, octagonal spaces and grand north-facing windows add character while bringing the ever-changing waterfront indoors. Outside is where this property comes even more alive. Expansive patio, hot tub and water feature lead to your private beach, custom treehouse and waterfront fire pit. A designated moorage buoy with immediate deep-water access invites boating, fishing and exploring wildlife and the waterways of the Sound. Enclosed garden, greenhouse, fruit trees and abundant space for boats, RVs and water toys complete the lifestyle. Near Steamboat Tennis and Athletic Club and Steamboat Square for coffee and shopping, just 15 mins from West Olympia.
