About this home

End-of-dock with uninterrupted views straight down the Montlake Cut, this rare front-row floating home offers the quintessential Seattle "houseboat" lifestyle. You own the moorage as a member of theco-op dock, complete with your own private boat slip, low-bank bulkhead waterfront, and two expansive decks designed for effortless outdoor entertaining, swimming, and launching your paddleboard. Inside, all-main-floor living features light-filled interiors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and gorgeous hardwood floors, all thoughtfully designed by architect Eric Hogeboom. The clever layout places the primary suite on its own with stunning water vistas and direct deck access, while two additional bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the home with dedicated bath space—all framed by brand-new windows ideal for taking in the summer boat parade or watching winter migratory birds. Freshly painted inside and out, packed with storage including an attic, and wrapped in panoramic views on three sides, this is an extraordinary opportunity to live right on the water.
