Property Description
A rare waterfront offering just 15 minutes from West Olympia, this newer Craftsman home features 119 feet of no-bank waterfront and three steps to the beach. Timeless design, including a distinctive hidden speakeasy-inspired space, creates an exceptional blend of character, privacy, and effortless waterfront living. Set 700 feet back from the road on nearly two acres, the 2019 build opens to a light-filled main level where kitchen, dining, and living areas flow together as one social hub. Large north-facing windows in the primary suite, office, and living spaces frame constant views of Totten Inlet and the Olympic Mountains. Entertaining extends outdoors to an expansive deck and a lower covered patio with hot tub, plus the hidden speakeasy tucked behind a bookcase downstairs. Upstairs bonus space and lower-level bedrooms give overnight guests room to retreat. Outside, a manicured path leads past a fully enclosed garden and greenhouse to a finished, off-grid treehouse, a sophisticated glamping retreat. A private moorage buoy delivers immediate deep-water access with no marina storage required. Parking for ten accommodates an RV, boat, or a full weekend crowd, and you can drive right to the water's edge. A once-in-a-generation stretch of shoreline, ready for its next chapter.
