Traditional design and updated comforts balance each other in this Eastside home. Updates include 2024 interior paint, kitchen and bath upgrades; paved paths, patio and exterior paint in 2023; ductless heating and a/c in 2021. The practical layout includes 2 beds and 1 bath on both the main and 2nd floor with hardwoods throughout. The fireside living room where sunlight fills the south window is the heart of the home, but all 3 levels offer value. Soak in the long tub upstairs, set up a basement gym and don’t miss the 2nd fireplace. A 2-car garage stands in the fenced back yard perfect for parties with its covered patio and hot tub pad. A lawn and paved front drive welcome you home. Near parks, groceries and McKinley with easy I-5 access.

Warmth and character on over a ¼ acre, an updated daylight basement and a big deck all belong to this classic 1960s rambler. You’ll feel it right away—original oak floors and a solid wood mantel over the gas fireplace show you—this home has good bones. The practical design provides 2 beds and a bath on each floor with plenty of closets. Open the slider from the dining room to the deck for summer meals and take the stairs to the back yard. Have game nights down in the rec room with a 2nd fireplace, all new flooring and a sliding door to the patio. Park in the garage, keep tools in the shed, start seeds in the greenhouse and look forward to peonies and roses. Near schools, groceries, parks and pubs, with easy access to Olympia and Tumwater.

This home’s distinctive gables, decorative shingles, French doors and bay window retain the charm of its Victorian era while amenities like a primary suite with a private bath bring it into the 21st century. Following many 2017 updates—like a new roof—these homeowners continued with improvements including efficient ductless A/C and heating, new interior stairs, new fencing, a storage shed, patio cover and landscaping. With 4 bedrooms, a full bath on both floors and a main floor laundry, this home offers practical comfort. Open the back door to the private patio, plant herbs in the raised beds and watch for figs this summer. Join the community at Wright  Park and the People’s Center, support local cafes and catch a ride on the light rail.
