Beautifully Appointed Waterfront Retreat on Summit Lake in Olympia

Life on the lake means days filled with waterfront relaxation, time spent out on the water boating and fishing, and idyllic views as far as the eye can see! And with this beautifully appointed 3,400-square-foot retreat, a vacation-inspired lifestyle awaits. Outside, you have 50 feet of waterfront all to yourself, a manicured yard, outdoor living spaces ready for summer… and so much more. Inside you’ll find expansive spaces characterized by elegant comfort ready to be enjoyed at every turn, from the sunlit living room and impeccably curated kitchen, to the indulgent primary suite and downstairs getaway that comes with its own kitchenette. A 3-car garage plus parking for 6 cars offers even more convenience, too. Located at 727 Summit Lake Shore Road NW Olympia, WA 98502 and no more than 15 minutes to the heart of Olympia, this stunning getaway is listed for $1,695,000. 

Especially as spring and summer approaches, this property is ready to shine. The neighborhood is surrounded by evergreens, and this home’s backyard is a dream come true. On the upper deck, kick back and relax out in the fresh air, and enjoy having front row seats to views of the shimmering lake and the rolling hills on the horizon. Underneath the deck, a covered patio is the perfect setting for al fresco dining; a kitchenette is just inside, making meal prep easy and efficient. And, from here, the patio extends until it meets the lawn, a lush carpet of grass that flows to the fire pit, 50 feet of waterfront, and a Trex dock. A boat lift and jet ski house mean that logistics are taken care of, so you can move right in and start having fun. Spend mornings fishing (the lake is known for having great trout, bass, and perch fishing), take jet skis out to explore the lake, and relax on the dock while the sun sets. Perfection! 

Time spent inside is just as enjoyable—a contemporary aesthetic shows off stylish spaces ready for all that comes your way, and a grand entrance with gorgeous teak wood floors offers a lasting first impression. In the living room, find spectacular soaring ceilings, a stunning wall of trim-wrapped windows that frames the lake view, and a built-in fireplace perfect for cozy evenings.

The layout offers effortless flow into the dining area and kitchen, the latter of which shows off details like generous soft-close cabinets, sleek appliances, and undermount cabinet lighting. Rich textures offer visual intrigue, too—wood elements, the tiled backsplash, and gleaming granite counters elevate the scene.

On the main level, you’ll also find a den with French doors (ideal for a home office), and a sumptuous primary suite. Snuggle up in bed with views of the lake, rejuvenate in the ensuite bath’s walk-in shower, and stay organized thanks to the massive walk-in closet. 

Even more versatile square footage can be found on the lower level—a family room, 2nd kitchenette, and 4 additional rooms provide a long list of possibilities. Entertain out-of-town guests in style; everyone can have their own private space to unwind in at the end of the day. There’s even a sauna so you can benefit from spa-inspired wellness routines without even leaving the comfort of home!
