Waterfront living reaches a new level at this extraordinary Budd Inlet property. Tucked away on 2.5 acres with 143 feet of shoreline, this one-of-a-kind estate offers a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets, ever-changing marine activity, and panoramic mountain vistas-all just minutes from downtown Olympia. Inside, the 4,033 sq ft residence blends comfort and functionality with generous living spaces, walls of glass, skylights, and a layout designed to keep the water in view. The main floor includes the owner's suite, featuring a fireplace, luxurious bath, and oversized wardrobe room. Two additional bedrooms, a recreation area, full bath, and private exterior access on the lower level create flexible living arrangements for guests or extended stays. Outdoor spaces were designed to be enjoyed year-round, with nearly 2,500 sq ft of decking, gathering areas, garden beds, fruit trees, a fire pit, and outdoor shower. Unique waterfront amenities include an extremely rare private dock and an impressive 1,200 sq ft boathouse, offering endless possibilities for entertaining, hobbies, storage, or simply enjoying life on the water. The home is fully wired for a generator, providing added peace of mind, and the upper portion of the property offers ample space for RV and boat parking. Watch bald eagles soar overhead, spot otters along the shoreline, and enjoy the serenity that comes with owning one of the area's most distinctive waterfront properties. No HOA.
