A new rental listing on the west side of Olympia, Washington, offers a one-bedroom loft in a duplex for $1,700 per month plus a fixed $150 electrical utility charge. The property sits within a welcoming neighborhood positioned nine minutes from the capitol complex and four minutes from Capital Mall.
Property Features and Layout
The unit features a lofted architecture with a high ceiling and a shiplap wooden ceiling over the living room. Luxury vinyl plank flooring covers the kitchen and living area. Upstairs, freshly carpeted stairs lead to a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a full bath. An east-facing bedroom window provides views of Mt. Rainier, while a south-facing picture window opens onto a grassy, gated courtyard shared by four units.

Kitchen amenities include a full-sized refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and a new garbage disposal. Climate control is managed through a ductless mini-split providing air conditioning in the summer and steady heat in the winter. A brand-new water heater services the upper-level full bath. Natural light enters through the day, supplemented by a Lutron lighting system in the evenings.
Storage, Parking, and Utilities
A large coat closet under the stairs offers climate-controlled storage, and an additional secure storage unit off the carport protects outdoor gear. A sliding door off the kitchen leads to a private, fenced patio with a gate. One covered carport space is included in the rent alongside ample street parking.
The listed rate bundles $1,700 in rent with a $150 monthly electrical utility charge that remains constant throughout the lease term. All utilities are included in this combined structure, allowing tenants to fix their monthly living expenses. A newly installed solar array aims to reduce long-term costs.
