HUGE PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Step into timeless charm with this beautiful 1936 Craftsman Bungalow-on the market for the first time in over 50 years! Full of character you won’t find in modern homes, this gem features a tin ceiling in the main living area, hardwood floors, and vintage light fixtures that whisper stories of the past. Outside, escape to your private garden-a magical setting filled with color, fragrance, and the flutter of birds and butterflies. Relax on the peaceful patio and soak it all in. The upstairs offers exciting potential: once used as a separate apartment, it could easily become an ADU, guest suite, or studio. The stories this house could tell... McCleary is just a short drive to Olympia’s vibrant Westside and an hour from the coast. This is a rare find you won’t want to miss!
