About this property

Rarely do the stars align to bring an offering such as this to the open market in the niche & highly nuanced floating home market! Owned by the same family for 35 years, this home began as an owner's vision, brought to life by a renowned architect & constructed in 1977 by Hargraves, a well-known quality builder of floating structures. Couple this one-of-a-kind home with an exceptional outside/end slip at the far west end of the ownership moorage & the result is a truly unique opportunity for riverfront living. The massive end slip with a 40' x 75' float provides abundant outdoor space, including a sitting area off the primary bedroom & expansive south/SW deck spaces for nightly sunsets. One need not look long to appreciate the quality & uniqueness of this handcrafted home, harkening to Japanese styling with its half-circle form, sloping roofline, & subtly angled walls forming an arcing radius adorned with floor-to-ceiling tinted windows capturing expansive river & sunset views. This 2 bed/2 bath home offers approx. 1,400 SF of single-level living—the sweet spot for many floating home seekers! Living & dining occupy the west end, where nary is there a nook without a view. The updated kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, stainless appliances, gas range, & built-in convection microwave. The home offers abundant storage, a rare attribute among smaller floating homes, plus a dedicated utility room housing the gas water heater & 10-year-old gas furnace. The primary bedroom enjoys exterior access, due-south exposure & views, plus its own deck space. A second bedroom for guests or office use & second full bath complete this one-of-a-kind offering. Float score 2. Cash only. Seller to make no repairs unless health or safety related.
