Looking out over the home, you’ve got water in the foreground and Mount Rainier rising in the distance, which never really gets old. The neighborhood itself reads as a quiet enclave of custom homes, well cared for and thoughtfully maintained, with that consistent sense of pride you hope to see. It feels tucked away without being isolated. There’s also some real substance behind the scenes here, with the gas furnace and air conditioning system replaced in 2023, adding comfort and confidence to match the setting.
This is where the lifestyle really kicks in. Beverly Beach residents get keyed access to this private dock and beach, so it stays quiet, uncrowded, and just for the neighborhood. Out on Budd Inlet, the water connects you straight into the South Sound, with calm stretches perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, or just dropping a line off the dock. And the wildlife here doesn’t disappoint, bald eagles overhead, blue herons along the shoreline, and on those rare, memorable days, even orcas passing through the inlet. This area has long been part of Olympia’s waterfront story, with Budd Inlet serving as a gateway between the city and the wider Puget Sound. Having this kind of access just minutes from home is one of those features that quietly becomes part of your everyday life.
From the front approach, you’re already looking out over the water, with Mount Rainier making a stunning appearance in the distance on clear days, a view that carries through to the interior and deck as well. The driveway layout is easy to navigate, with enough space for a comfortable turn-around instead of backing out blindly. You can also see the side entry into the garage with its own covered overhang, a small but practical detail for everyday use. The private beach and dock sit at the base of Beverly Beach as it winds up through a neighborhood filled with mature evergreens and well-kept homes, creating that tucked-away, established feel people are always looking for. You can spot the home marked along the hillside, perfectly positioned to take in the surroundings. There’s a sense of history here, years of gatherings, beach days, and quiet evenings that give the area a really good, lived-in vibe. Beyond the neighborhood, the location keeps things convenient to Westside amenities.
A private sand and pebble beach stretches out with plenty of room to wander, set up a picnic, or just sit and take it all in. On clear days, Mount Rainier adds that iconic backdrop across the water. The gated access you see here is key-controlled for residents, keeping it quiet and exclusive to the neighborhood. From this spot, you can launch a boat directly into Budd Inlet, making it easy to turn an ordinary afternoon into time on the water. It’s relaxed, scenic, and genuinely usable.
From above, the layout really clicks. The extra-wide driveway leads cleanly up to the two-car garage and offers plenty of off-street parking, which makes hosting feel easy right from the start. Set slightly above the cul-de-sac, the home has a nice presence, with the deck and living areas positioned to take advantage of the outlook. The landscaping is mature and well established, with a low-maintenance approach that still feels thoughtfully maintained.

You can also see the side entry into the garage with its own covered overhang, a small but practical detail for everyday use.
There’s a strong first impression here, and it sticks. The entry has that low, tiered approach that feels architectural without trying too hard, paired with a solid wood double door that instantly sets the tone. The exterior was freshly painted a few years ago in a warm, creamy neutral that feels both classic and right in step with today’s palette. A covered entry gives you options, a couple of chairs, seasonal decor, or a welcoming setup that stays protected from the weather. The landscaping is already established, so you’re not starting from scratch, and come spring, this whole front yard starts to bloom and fill in with color. It’s the kind of curb appeal that feels grounded, cared for, and ready to enjoy.
From this corner, it becomes clear just how much glass this space really has. Windows wrap around the living room, flanking the large sliding door and continuing onto the adjacent wall, creating a wide, uninterrupted sweep of the deck and water beyond. It’s layered, not just one focal point, but multiple angles that keep pulling your eye outward. You even catch the upper windows from the dining area above, adding another dimension of light and connection between spaces. While this isn’t direct waterfront, the view absolutely delivers, giving you that open, expansive feel without the maintenance that sometimes comes with it.
This is the moment. You walk in and that wall of windows completely takes over, framing the water like artwork. Just outside, a moss-covered mature tree rises up in its own alcove between the house and deck, creating this layered, almost curated natural feature that makes the view feel even more special. The space itself leans into its 1973 roots in the best way, with the dining area slightly elevated beside the living room, giving it that classic split-level vibe that feels both retro and refined. Vaulted ceilings with dark exposed beams add contrast and structure, while the mix of cream carpeting, warm dining room tones, and crisp white in the living room keeps everything bright and balanced. It’s a little dramatic, a little sophisticated, and completely memorable.
This perspective really captures the soul of the space. That moss-covered tree just outside the window becomes its own focal point, almost like a living sculpture that’s been quietly growing into place for decades. It adds a sense of calm and history you can’t replicate. Inside, the scale of the room stands out, easily accommodating a baby grand piano, and with those vaulted ceilings, you can imagine the acoustics are just as impressive as the view. The subtle step down from the dining area creates that classic sunken living room feel, but here it reads more refined than retro. From this angle, you can also see the connection back to the dining room and toward the entry, keeping everything visually open while still giving each space its own identity.
All eyes go straight to the windows, and for good reason. The living room is framed by a full wall of glass that captures the water view from nearly every angle, with a slider that makes stepping outside feel effortless. The vaulted ceiling and exposed beam give the space a little architectural edge, balanced by soft flooring and clean white walls that keep things light. Outside, the deck’s cable-style railing disappears into the background, letting the view take over without interruption.
From the dining area, you get a full appreciation for the layered design that makes this home stand out. A few steps down lead into the living room, creating that classic 1970s split-level feel that adds dimension without closing anything off. The vintage chandelier anchors the dining space with warmth and character, while high above, a long panoramic window at the peak of the vault pulls in sky views and soft natural light. As your eye moves downward, those tall, narrow accent windows in the living room stretch from floor to ceiling, bringing in even more light and that unmistakable architectural style of the era. A dark wood railing frames the edge of the dining area, adding both safety and definition while still keeping everything open and connected.
A warm, inviting first impression with just the right amount of character. The brick-style paver tile underfoot sets a grounded tone, while the accent wall in a rich terracotta hue adds depth and warmth without overpowering the space. It’s a natural landing zone when you walk in, with a large coat closet tucked behind wood bifold doors to keep things organized. The front door is a standout, solid wood with a beautifully detailed, scrolled handle that feels like a nod to the home’s original era in the best way. Vaulted overhead, the space feels open and airy, but still anchored with that vintage charm that gives it personality.
The view pulls you in immediately, straight through the family room and out to Budd Inlet. From the kitchen vantage point, the connection between spaces feels easy and natural, perfect for staying part of the conversation without missing a beat. Vaulted ceilings open everything up, while the hardwood floors keep it warm and grounded. The original brick fireplace holds onto that 1970s character, now paired with a gas insert so it actually gets used. Light reflects beautifully off the white ceilings and plays against the soft suede-toned walls. Off to the side, the doorway leads to a covered patio, giving you another way to step into that waterfront setting without even trying.
There’s a lot happening here, and it all works together. The fireplace brings in texture and warmth with its multitone brick, while the family room’s built-in beverage station adds a layer of convenience you don’t always see. With its prep sink, storage above, and open shelving below, it creates a natural spot for drinks, coffee, or casual hosting. It feels intentional, not like an afterthought. Across the room, the full wall of windows frames the water view in a way that’s hard to compete with, and the sliding doors lead right out to the deck, extending the space even further.
Up on the deck, everything opens up a bit more. The wood and cable railing keeps the lines clean and the view unobstructed, so your eye moves right through to the surrounding greenery and beyond. The sliding doors back to the family room make it easy to go in and out, which is exactly what you want when this becomes your go-to hangout spot. From here, you also get a sense of the home’s elevation, sitting slightly above the properties behind, which adds a bit of privacy and a wider outlook.
You can see how it all comes together, the deck overlooking the yard, the quiet cul-de-sac, and the water stretching out beyond with Mount Rainier in the distance. It’s a peaceful, tucked-away setting that feels intentional. And then there’s the part that makes daily life easier. This neighborhood runs on a community water system through Thurston County and a shared sewer system maintained by the HOA, so no individual well or septic to manage. The $237/month dues cover more than you might expect, private dock and beach access, road maintenance, insurance, common areas, plus your water and sewer. When you look at it that way, it’s less about dues and more about bundled convenience with some pretty great perks.
There’s room to spread out, explore, or set up for the day without feeling crowded, and the gentle access to the water makes it easy to carry down a kayak or paddleboard and be on the inlet in minutes. It’s simple, accessible, and actually usable, which is what matters. Beyond the shoreline, the location keeps you well connected, about 10 minutes to I-5 for commuting and just minutes to The Evergreen State College.
Standing here, you start to understand what makes this neighborhood so sought after. The private dock walkway gives you that easy, direct connection to Budd Inlet, where boating out to Olympia becomes part of the routine instead of a special occasion. Cruise over to the marina, grab dinner on the waterfront, or just take a slow evening ride as the sun drops behind the hills. The setting here does a lot of the work for you, wide open water, big sky, and that calm, coastal feel that defines this part of the South Sound.
From this spot near the window, the fireplace really takes center stage, stretching all the way from floor to vaulted ceiling and giving the room a strong vertical moment. The exposed beams overhead add that architectural detail you don’t see every day, and the vertical panel accent wall brings in warmth that balances out the scale of the space. Off to one side, the built-in beverage station adds function right where you want it, with its own sink and storage creating a natural spot for drinks and hosting. Then your eye moves down the line and you catch the connection to the rest of the home, a glimpse of the front entry and the bar-height counter seating that opens into the kitchen. It’s a layout that keeps everything connected without feeling crowded, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
Everything about this view reinforces how well the home flows. The raised breakfast bar creates a casual place to sit or serve, depending on the moment, and it keeps the kitchen connected to the living spaces without feeling exposed. The pantry sits conveniently to the side behind folding doors, easy to access and nicely tucked away. The hardwood floors carry through seamlessly, and the vaulted ceiling with upper windows brings in a soft, natural light that keeps the whole area bright. The color combination of white walls and warm camel cabinetry gives the kitchen a grounded, welcoming feel. Look past the bar and you’ll notice a peek of the water through the family room, which adds another layer to the space. The entry and hallway toward the primary suite are also visible from here, showing how everything links together without feeling complicated.
Cooking here doesn’t feel tucked away, it feels like part of the experience. The gas cooktop sits right across from the breakfast bar, so conversations flow easily while meals come together. Look past it and you’ve got that wide water view framed through the family room, which adds a whole different level to the space. The kitchen itself leans bright and clean with white appliances, including a French door fridge with built-in water and ice, and light granite countertops that keep everything feeling open. The backsplash mixes white and warm tones in a way that ties in with the cabinetry without being too matchy. And although you don’t see it here, there’s a wall oven with a microwave above just off to the side, giving you extra cooking capacity when you need it. It’s a layout that feels social, functional, and just easy to be in.
This angle shows how naturally everything comes together. Cooking at the gas range, you’ve got a clear line of sight across the breakfast bar, through the family room, and out to the water, which keeps the whole space feeling open and connected. The pantry sits nearby for easy access, and just next to it, the exterior door leads straight out to the covered porch, making outdoor entertaining feel effortless instead of complicated. The color palette stays warm and inviting, tying the kitchen and living spaces together.
Rain or shine, this spot delivers. Just off the family room, the covered patio gives you a comfortable place to sit and take in the water view without worrying about the weather, which, let’s be honest, is a real advantage here. The concrete patio extends out and connects seamlessly to the deck, creating multiple zones for relaxing or entertaining. Around it, the lawn is open, sunny, and ready for whatever you want to add, garden beds, play space, or just a stretch of green to enjoy. It’s an easy, low-effort outdoor setup that still gives you plenty of flexibility.
There’s a sense of separation here that really works. With a split bedroom layout, the primary suite stands on its own, giving you that added layer of privacy that’s hard to come by. Just outside the door, a covered patio creates an easy extension of the room, offering a sheltered place to sit and enjoy the water view regardless of the forecast. It adds a little daily luxury without feeling over the top. The combination of privacy, outdoor access, and that view makes this space feel especially comfortable and well thought out.
Waking up to this view is a pretty strong selling point. The primary suite carries those vaulted ceilings through, giving the room a sense of openness that pairs nicely with the water just beyond the window. A hinged door with a full mirrored panel reflects the light and keeps the view uninterrupted, which is a thoughtful detail you don’t always see. There’s plenty of space here for a king bed along with additional furniture, so it doesn’t feel tight or overfilled. The soft carpeting underfoot adds comfort, making this room feel like a true place to unwind at the end of the day.
There’s a really nice balance to this backyard. Closer to the home, you’ve got level lawn that’s easy to use for everyday living, then it gently slopes away, adding a bit of dimension without taking away usability. The deck anchors the whole space and offers plenty of room for dining, gathering, or stretching out on a sunny day. Around the edges, mature plantings are already in place with barked beds that keep things looking tidy without a lot of upkeep.
Windows on either side of the bed keep the space bright and connected to the outdoors, while still feeling calm and private. The transition toward the ensuite is easy and intuitive, with a hallway that feels integrated into the room’s design. Overhead, a chandelier adds a bit of character, bringing in that subtle vintage touch that ties back to the home’s original era without feeling out of place.
Easy entry, smart details, and plenty of light, this shower checks all the right boxes. The zero-threshold design makes it simple to step right in, while the built-in seat and grab bar add comfort and support when you want it. Tile surrounds keep things low maintenance, and the recessed niches give you a place for everything without clutter. Overhead, the wood-trimmed skylight brings in natural light that brightens the space in a really nice way.
The vaulted ceiling in the primary suite bathroom gives it extra volume, and the large window brings in natural light while still keeping privacy in check with built-in blinds. The long dual-sink vanity offers plenty of space to spread out, finished with granite counters and classic cabinetry in a rich walnut tone that adds a little depth. Glass knobs give it a subtle, vintage touch without feeling dated. Tile flooring keeps everything practical and low maintenance, which is exactly what you want in a space that gets daily use.
This closet feels more like a built-in system than an afterthought. Solid wood shelving and integrated drawers give everything a place, making it easy to stay organized without needing extra furniture or add-ons. The layout is clean and functional, with a mix of hanging space and storage that actually works for everyday use. Carpet underfoot keeps it comfortable and quiet, rounding out a space that feels finished and thoughtfully designed.
The second bedroom brings a lot more to the table than just a bedroom. With its own exterior door and a large window, it has that added flexibility that makes it perfect for guests, a home office, or even a private studio-style setup for multigenerational family members. Built-in bookshelves add both function and character, giving you a ready-made spot for storage or display without needing extra furniture. The vaulted ceiling keeps it feeling open, while the warm tones and soft carpeting make it comfortable and easy to settle into. A spacious closet rounds it out, making this a room that can easily adapt to whatever you need it to be.
Bright, simple, and surprisingly private, this 3rd bedroom makes great use of its space. The vaulted ceiling lifts the room and keeps it from feeling boxed in, while the large picture window brings in natural light and a view of the front yard. Clean white walls give it a fresh, open feel, and the soft carpeting keeps it comfortable underfoot. A standout detail here is the dual closets, which is always a win for storage. And one of the more thoughtful features of this home overall, none of the bedroom walls line up with each other, creating a natural buffer for added privacy that you don’t often see.
A great mix of function in the main bathroom. The solar tube brings in natural light from above, keeping the room feeling open and bright without needing to rely on overhead lights all day. The tub and shower combo is ready for everyday use, and the tile surfaces keep things low maintenance. There’s plenty of storage built into the vanity with extra drawers, and the beveled mirror adds a nice finishing touch. The blue accents bring energy to the space, balanced by the white granite counters for a clean, polished look.
This laundry room leans into function in a way you don’t see as often anymore. At roughly 9½ by 10½ feet, it’s noticeably larger than the typical pass-through setup, giving you real space to work. The tile floor is ready for anything, and the royal blue cabinetry adds a pop of personality while keeping storage tucked neatly away. A utility sink makes cleanup easy, especially for those messier tasks, and the folding counter off to the side is exactly what you want when sorting or tackling laundry day. There’s also a large operable window overlooking the front yard, bringing in light and fresh air when you need it.
Up close, the craftsmanship really shines. The solid wood double doors have that rich, paneled texture that feels substantial the moment you see it, and those scrolled handles add just the right amount of detail without feeling overdone. It’s a statement entry, but in a grounded, classic way that fits perfectly with the character of Beverly Beach. You can tell this is part of a neighborhood where homes have been cared for and preserved, not rushed or replaced. It sets the tone before you even step inside.
Even from the driveway, the setting delivers. Looking out toward Budd Inlet from this slightly elevated vantage point, you get a clear, calming water view that immediately sets the tone for the property. Being tucked into a cul-de-sac keeps traffic to a minimum, so it stays quiet and easy to enjoy. One of the real advantages here is getting all the visual payoff of waterfront living without the added tax hit that usually comes with it. And with private neighborhood access to the dock and beach, you’re not missing out on the lifestyle, just skipping the extra expense. It’s a pretty smart balance.
A closer look from above brings out some of the thoughtful details you might not notice at first glance. The newer roof, installed just four years ago, adds a solid layer of confidence knowing it’s built to last. Surrounding the home is a full concrete perimeter walkway, which is one of those features that quietly makes life easier. Whether you’re doing upkeep, moving around the yard, or just trying to stay dry on a damp day, it’sincredibly useful. It even ties directly into the exterior access from the primary suite, creating a continuous path that feels both practical and well planned.
So much incredible coastline to explore along Beverly Beach.
A floor plan like this brings together character, function, and flexibility. True one-story living makes everything accessible, while the original 1970s design adds personality through vaulted ceilings, distinctive windows, and a sunken living room that creates visual interest without disrupting the flow. The bedrooms are thoughtfully spaced so they don’t share walls, which add a noticeable level of privacy. You’ve got room to gather, room to spread out, and direct connection to outdoor spaces that take full advantage of the view. Storage is a strong point here. The garage measures approximately 24’ by 22’, and behind it is a 25’ by 7’ attached storage room with its own exterior access and window, making it far more versatile than typical storage. There’s also a man door from the garage to the side yard, and a spacious utility room near the laundry that offers additional storage capacity, helping everything stay tucked away and organized.
