About this home
Own a remarkable piece of Olympia history at the iconic Ellsworth Duplex, a designated Olympia Heritage Site nestled in the coveted South Capitol Neighborhood. Rich in timeless character and thoughtfully enhanced for modern living, this exceptional condo duplex offers a rare opportunity to own one of Olympia's treasured historic homes. The welcoming entry features a beautifully repurposed 1916 church pew, while new maple hardwood floors, custom oak built-ins, an ornamental fireplace, and abundant natural light create warm, inviting living spaces. The renovated kitchen features a gas range and skylight, while the updated primary suite offers a charming bath, walk-in closet, and convenient second laundry. Three ductless mini-splits, a new water heater, replaced sewer line to the street, and top-down/bottom-up shades are just a few of the many thoughtful improvements made during the current owners' stewardship. Enjoy Capitol Building views from the upstairs bedroom and office, with the main-floor office offering potential for a third bedroom. Outside, a custom bike house and detached 10' x 16' soundproof studio with double-wall construction, suspended ceiling, triple-pane windows, mini-split, and endless possibilities as a recording studio, office, art studio, fitness space, or guest retreat complete this truly one-of-a-kind property. Just blocks from the Capitol Campus, downtown, parks, and restaurants.
