3736 Sunset Beach Drive NW

Turn off Sunset Beach Drive, follow the circular drive through mature evergreens and established landscaping, and Eld Inlet opens up in front of you. Walls of oversized picture windows carry the water into the main living areas, where vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, and a slate-surround wood stove insert give this 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home genuine mid-century character. A built-in bar anchored by a madrone tree post makes it an easy place to gather, and the sliders open directly to a deck built for morning coffee and long summer evenings. The view earns the attention: changing light and patterns on the water, herons in the shallows, eagles and osprey overhead, seals offshore, and tranquility all around. Low bank waterfront with a natural, undisturbed shoreline puts the beach into daily use, with room to picnic, kayak, or swim from your own yard. The detached wood-fired sauna sits above the water with its own porch and commanding view, a real draw on a cold Northwest evening, and a lawn-level fire pit extends the season further. Significant investment since 2016 includes new well & filtration system, underground power, wood-wrapped windows, new interior and exterior doors, updated bath, appliances, flooring, paint, perimeter grading & drainage, gutters, downspouts, and ductless HP (2025). 2 car carport + separate shop. Minutes to Olympia & easy neighborhood access to Evergreen, trails, and beaches. Waterfront like this on Sunset Beach comes available rarely.
