Escape the ordinary and find tranquility as you feel the gentle flow of water beneath you.

This extraordinary unfurnished 1 BR/1 Bath light filled floating home on Portage Bay (which is conveniently located close to downtown and the University of Washington) is the perfect place to call home. Recent upgrades make this home a delightful place to live and work. New features range from a new roof, including a second skylight, and exterior paint to interior upgrades in the living room, bedroom and kitchen. The house also includes a spacious bedroom with ample storage, vaulted ceilings, space for a home office, a full size washer and dryer and a highly prized parking space. The deck surrounding the house is large enough to hold a kayak and access to the open water is available from behind the house.

This house, located on a quiet private dock with a real sense of community, is truly a hidden gem particularly for those who want the uniquely iconic Seattle experience of living not just near, but on, the water.
