Property Description

Welcome aboard one of Seattle’s most unforgettable homes, an original City-registered housebarge floating on Lake Union. This isn’t just a 2-bedroom houseboat…it’s a front-row seat to life on the water. Perched on a coveted outer deck with leased slip, you’ll soak in breathtaking, unobstructed lake views & cotton-candy sunrises right from your king-sized bed. The upper level showcases grand carved pillars, etched glass accents, a wall of windows, open-concept living, granite counters, & gleaming refinished floors. It’s artistic, soulful, & anything but cookie-cutter. The second bedroom fits a queen or makes the ultimate home office—because Zoom hits differently when sailboats glide past your window. Yes, you can even jump from the upstairs windows straight into the lake. Hauled out & pre-inspected June 2025. Moorage $1,325/month including utilities. Financing available. RPZ off-street parking. Pets welcome~teach your dog to climb the swim ladder! Less than a mile from downtown & minutes to Google, Adobe, Amazon, & the beloved Fremont Market. You can kayak after work & hop Bus 40 to Ballard or the stadiums. Watch sailboat races during Duck Dodge, catch 4th of July fireworks, Christmas boat parades, & New Year’s sparkle at the Space Needle. Located in China Harbor where neighbors become friends: marina parties, floatie hangouts, ducks eating from your hand, blue herons & seals—it’s truly magical. You are not only purchasing a home, you are purchasing an extraordinary lifestyle!
