Nearly New, Without the New Construction Price Tag

There’s a lot to like about a brand-new home. There’s also a lot to like about skipping the wait, moving into a home that’s already finished, and potentially spending thousands less.

That’s the opportunity at 845 Bodie Ct SE in Lacey. Built in 2024 in Steilacoom Heights, this 3-bedroom, 1.75-bath rambler offers 1,885 square feet of thoughtfully designed single-level living, plus solar panels, air conditioning, a fenced backyard, and upgrades already in place.

With new homes still being built in the neighborhood, this one offers another option: nearly new without the new-construction price tag.

A Floor Plan Made for Everyday Life

One of the best things about this home is how comfortably it lives.

A wide entry and hallways create an open feel from the start, while high ceilings continue throughout the home. Laminate hardwood flooring runs through nearly every room, giving the floor plan a clean, cohesive look and making everyday maintenance a little easier.

The living room feels especially spacious thanks to vaulted ceilings and a gas fireplace. Even the small details have been considered, including an outlet and Smurf tube above the fireplace for mounting a TV without a tangle of visible cords.

The third bedroom adds flexibility to the floor plan. French doors make it equally useful as a bedroom, home office, hobby space, workout room, or bonus room depending on what life calls for.

A Kitchen That Gets the Details Right

The kitchen is designed to be used, not just admired.

Quartz counters and subway tile provide a classic backdrop, while extended upper cabinets add valuable storage. Soft-close drawers, a corner cabinet with a Lazy Susan, and a reach-in pantry make it easier to keep everything organized.

A generous island with pendant lighting creates a natural gathering place between the kitchen and living areas. Stainless appliances and a gas range with dual ovens round out a kitchen equally ready for Tuesday-night dinner or a house full of guests.

Comfort Beyond the Finishes

Some of this home's most valuable features aren't necessarily the first things noticed in photos.

A Carrier furnace and heat pump provide efficient heating and air conditioning through the seasons, while solar panels add another practical benefit. Outside, the fully fenced backyard provides room for pets, gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying some sunshine at home.

An attached two-car garage completes a home designed around making daily life straightforward.

Living in Lacey

Lacey is one of those South Sound communities where everyday conveniences and outdoor recreation coexist particularly well. Shopping, restaurants, parks, trails, lakes, golf, Olympia, and JBLM are all within the broader area, making it possible to run errands in the morning and spend the afternoon outside.

The city has more than 1,200 acres of parkland and open space, along with miles of walking and biking trails. The surrounding area adds five freshwater lakes, golf courses, Puget Sound access and the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge to the mix.

For sports and recreation, Rainier Vista Community Park offers 46 acres with athletic fields, courts, walking paths, playgrounds and picnic areas. The nearby Lacey-Thurston County Regional Athletic Complex is another major community amenity, with a 100-acre campus that includes multiple sports fields and about two miles of walking trails.

For a quieter afternoon, Wonderwood Park combines 39 acres of natural woodland and walking paths with playgrounds and recreational facilities.

Plenty to Explore Close to Home

Lacey also has a food scene worth exploring. Local options range from Korean, Vietnamese and Thai food to Italian and German restaurants, along with breweries and wineries. The Lacey Depot District has become another local gathering spot, combining the city's railroad history with a food-truck destination and community space.

For everyday shopping and dining, Lacey has established commercial areas throughout the city, while Olympia and its waterfront, downtown restaurants and additional shopping are close enough to easily become part of the routine.

That balance is a big part of Lacey's appeal: plenty nearby without giving up easy access to the outdoors.

A Different Way to Buy Newer

At 845 Bodie Ct SE, the story isn't simply that the home was built in 2024.

It's that much of the work that comes with buying a new home has already been done. The yard is fenced. The solar panels are installed. Air conditioning is already here. The finishes have been selected, the appliances are in place, and the home is ready to live in.

For buyers considering new construction in Steilacoom Heights, this home deserves a look before signing a builder contract. It offers the newer home, modern floor plan, and contemporary features buyers are looking for, with an opportunity to purchase for thousands less than homes currently being built in the neighborhood.

Sometimes the better new-construction option is the one that's already finished.
