apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I could so easily live there - and I live the views from Lake Union

We so need a Seattle page- is this in the works?

I love this house - I often dream of living on the water - so much character and great views around Lake Union.

And seriously - AT Seattle is so very needed!

second the seattle page!

It's beautiful, inside and out. But at the same time, it makes me a little bit sad thinking of this as a houseboat--very similar to driving through a neighborhood of old brick homes and then seeing a sleek, modern concrete box on stilts.

Third for a Seattle page!

Seattle page please. I always wondered why there wasn't one.

seattle page for president!

hillary for president but i fourth the seattle page.

I'd take this beautiful house on water or land.

This was two blocks from my place on east lake and yale. Next door is a beautiful tuscan villa house boat as well. This is an awesome jogging path as well except during the summer when the tourist duck boats fill the narrow road with diesel. Every two years the condo association of floating homes offers walk-aboard tours. Hopefully they'll do it this year. Houseboats are for everyone as they don't always own the land under the boat so if the rents for the slip go up you may need to find a new home for your already expensive home vs. real property ownership.

sorry meant "aren't for everyone" ;)

squidlette-

Unlike in Marin County (or probably elsewhere?) where houseboats are "funky," in Seattle, they are an eclectic mix of high end design. They are, essentially, just fancy-pants homes-they just happened to float. Growing up in Seattle, I always tried to pick out my favorite one while crossing the Montlake bridge and always dreamt of living in one...
