Surrounded by Pacific Northwest beauty and tucked away in a quiet neighborhood on close to 3 acres, this 2,357-square-foot home offers a peaceful retreat. The palatial layout provides abundant flexibility, and welcoming living spaces rest alongside 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. In addition to a large 3-car garage, you also have a 16’ x 24’ workshop all to yourself! Located at 7135 Lovely Lane NE Olympia, WA 98516 and close to Tolmie State Park, Interstate-5, shopping and more, this home is listed for $639,500.

Storybook wonder awaits as soon as you approach this home-sweet-home, and a classic exterior design is made all the more picturesque thanks to mature landscaping and lush natural greenery. The extra-large driveway offers room for parking and sidewalk games alike, and from here the front entryway beckons. Gleaming hardwoods flow into the 2-story entryway, and a home office (or potential bedroom/den) awaits on one side, while the formal living room rests opposite. Vaulted ceilings and large windows let the space feel even more open and airy, and simple elegance leaves room for your own style and design sensibilities.
From here, the layout effortlessly flows into the formal dining room, a dream for those who love to entertain. You have more than enough space for a full-sized dining table, and there’s space for everyone to gather to celebrate special occasions and holidays when the time comes. The kitchen is easily within reach, and this haven glows with its warm hues and wood elements. Large counters offer plenty of space, and shimmering windows at the kitchen sink offer captivating views outside. Pull up a stool to the kitchen island for laid-back meals, and enjoy your morning cup of coffee or lazy weekend brunches in the adjacent dining area.
The great room’s layout unfolds into another living area, where a brick-accented fireplace is sure to warm up chilly winter days. There’s nothing quite like snuggling up on the couch for game nights or movie marathons with loved ones while a cozy fire dances in the background. (Plus, this home comes with a new furnace and heat pump to keep things comfy all year long!)
When it’s time to rest and rejuvenate, head upstairs to find the master suite, 2 bedrooms, and a full bath. The master suite offers resort-inspired relaxation; the bedroom layout features more than enough space for a quiet sitting area, or you could even have a desk by the windows. A walk-in closet makes it easy to stay organized, while the 5-piece ensuite bath promises sumptuous wellness routines. Sink into a luxurious bubble bath here while admiring views of the tall emerald trees that wait just outside your window.
One of this property’s top highlights includes its versatility, and the 3-car garage and 16’ x 24’ workshop (which includes a loft and shelving) offer the space you’ve always wanted. Not only do you have more than enough room for parking and storage, but there’s lots of space for projects and hobbies as well. The same is true for the sprawling yard—a huge patio looks out onto the expansive lawn, an oasis just brimming with potential. Host BBQs and summertime parties on the patio, enjoy container gardening, and put your imagination to work in cultivating the rest of your land!
