203 17th Avenue SW Olympia, WA 98501

Welcome -- your quintessential South Capitol home awaits. After almost 40 years, these loving owners are looking to entrust their home with its next stewards.

Down a quiet street, blocks from the Capitol, government offices, Olympia's downtown and schools, this home has been well maintained over many decades. Exterior care in recent years includes painting, roofing and solar panels.

Shaded and ample front porch offers a place to watch the world go by and chat with neighbors.

More than a rocking chair porch, here is an entire outdoor room to gather and relax.

Enter through the first of many coved archways gracing the home.

The main living room hosts cozy spaces for many moods and times. Tuck up the fire as fall settles in...

...or bask in the afternoon light pouring into the sun room side of this generous living space.

Oodles of room to gather and entertain here.

Home has over 3000sf of finished space so there is no skimping on the living space.

Once a side porch and entry, this room off the sun room was most recently used as an office.

Glass French doors separate the space while still allowing enjoyment of the light and feel of home.

Elegant formal dining room - so much room for gathering loved ones around and hosting a true dinner extravaganza.

Gorgeous trim and original built-in corner hutches with leaded glass doors here.

Smartly appointed kitchen was well designed to honor the home and flow well into the family room addition. This long counter expanse is perfect for day to day prep and for laying out a party buffet!

Great lighting, green views and gleaming wood give this kitchen a cheery countenance.

It's a joy to be connected with life going down in the family room nearby with the kitchen at the heart of this home.

Spacious family room is just one of those comfy spaces everyone gravitates to.

With skylights, French doors to the back deck and wood stove, it's the spot for lazy Sundays and slumber parties.

To the left - the utility room and "mud room" style space where folks can unload from the day coming in from the back porch. Up above? A secret play room littles will love, accessed from an upstairs bedroom.

Convenient utility room space, plus a half bath adjoins here as well!

Completing the main floor - the primary suite!

Well sized room offers space to relax and two closet spaces....

Gracious access to the upstairs in the center of the home leads to the remaining three bedrooms & second full bath.

Remodeled bathroom sits right at the top of the stairs.

First of three bedrooms --this one with windows peeking out the front of the home...

...and featuring dual closets - one at the front and one at the back of the room.

This room above the living room offers the same sunny aspect as the sun room with its wall of windows and has a walk in closet as well.

...as well as the secret hidey-hole to the lofted fort.

Surprise! The basement holds this room ready for FUN...

...as well as about 1000 additional square feet with good ceiling height.

Back outside - a deck sits off the family room for al fresco meals or just enjoying the backyard ringed with established plantings (and what it rumored to be one of the oldest apple trees in the neighborhood!)

This sweet and intimate part of the yard feels like an extension of the home.

Second half of the lot offers quite the generous side yard - get out the volleyball net or set the bases for a ball game! Sunny garden space with fruit trees. And while you're peeking at the roof -- it and the solar panels on the home are just two years old. An example of electricity production value is in the binder at the home. In the past year, the owners paid for electricity use only in March.

Even the garage exudes historic charm. Paneled doors move along a track for access...

...and besides the garage storage, this side garden shed is handy for tools as well.

Come on by for a visit and take some time to stroll around the neighborhood or sit on the porch for a spell. Welcome home to South Capitol!
