Step into a living masterpiece aboard this captivating, artist-inspired 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom housebarge, one of Seattle’s rare and original City-Registered Housebarges. Perfectly perched on an outer dock with unobstructed Lake Union views, this home offers a front-row seat to the dazzling rhythm of city life on the water—sailboats drifting by, seaplanes gliding overhead, and the twinkle of city lights each evening.

From the moment you enter, you’ll be struck by its eclectic charm and artistic energy. The upper level greets you with soaring ceilings, hand-carved architectural pillars, and a dramatic wall of windows that makes the lake feel like an extension of your living space. The open floor plan flows from the granite-adorned kitchen to the light-filled dining and living area, designed to maximize the panoramic views.

Whether you’re savoring a morning coffee as the sun rises over Gas Works Park or hosting friends while the sailboats dance across the water, this floating home offers a truly soulful connection to the lake. It’s not just a home—it’s a lifestyle of freedom, creativity, and serenity, right in the heart of Seattle.
