About this property

Historic Olympia 4 BR Home | Walk to Capitol & Downtown | Fenced Yrd + Firetable

Welcome to this 100-year-old historic Olympia home, where timeless character meets modern comfort—just a short walk to the Washington State Capitol and downtown shops, dining, and culture.

This four-bedroom, one-bathroom home offers generous space and classic details throughout, including a large living room and separate dining room perfect for gathering. The fully updated kitchen features new cabinetry, granite countertops, a large refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal—ideal for both short and extended stays.

The remodeled bathroom includes a new walk-in shower while preserving the home’s original charm.

Downstairs, the fully finished basement adds valuable extra living space with a kitchenette, comfortable seating, electric fireplace, TV, and washer/dryer—great for relaxing or spreading out.

Outside, enjoy a private fenced backyard designed for connection and comfort. Unwind on the covered back porch with an electric fire pit, grill meals on the gas BBQ, or gather under string lights in the backyard during warmer evenings.

📌 Planned upgrade: A second bathroom will begin construction in the garage in mid-April 2026, adding even more convenience for future guests.

Whether you’re visiting Olympia for work, family, or leisure, this historic home offers warmth, space, and a location that’s hard to beat.

Come visit this spring and see the Cherry Blossoms in bloom on the Capitol campus!
