Steamboat Getaway

Properties like this don’t come on the market every day, but when they do, they deserve to be properly represented. Previously listed by another broker, the clients became frustrated after four months of no offers. Lovingly staged by Peter and co-broker Julia Runyan using the sellers’ own furnishings, with stunning photography by In-Gear Media, this property sold in just five days for well above the original listing price, and even above the price at which it sat under the previous listing.

Tucked along the shores of Totten Inlet on coveted Steamboat Island, this west-facing waterfront retreat captures the essence of Pacific Northwest living. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, the home opens seamlessly to expansive decks at the water’s edge, where sunsets, salt air, and the rhythm of the tide become part of your daily life. Inside, exposed log accents, wood-wrapped windows, and an open, light-filled layout create a warm, connection to the outdoors. A 30-foot indoor lap pool offers year-round enjoyment and a rare wellness feature, while a whisper-quiet Mitsubishi heat pump ensures efficient comfort in every season. With zero-step access from the carport through the main living areas and out to the shoreline, the home lives effortlessly for all ages and stages. Above the garage, a beautifully finished guest or flex space provides room for visitors, creative pursuits, or extended living. The shoreline is rich with Pacific NW bounty, clams, oysters, and mussels. The protected waters of Totten Inlet invite kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating right from your doorstep. A private buoy adds to the ease of waterfront living. While this setting feels like a true getaway, you are just a scenic drive from the charm and convenience of downtown Olympia, with its vibrant farmers market, local eateries, marinas, and arts scene. Whether it is a full-time residence or a peaceful retreat, this is a place to slow down and live inspired on the water's edge.
