For those of you whose introduction to Seattle and our houseboats came via the eponymous Tom Hanks film, here's one for you. The houseboat is on the market — for a cool $2.5 million.
The Sleepless in Seattle Houseboat is Up for Sale
Surprisingly (or perhaps not; it's been a while since we've seen the film), the current design isn't really to our taste. But we're sure someone could do something awesome with 4 bedrooms and 1.75 baths on a 2720 square foot log float (the marine equivalent of lot size) — not to mention a crazy view.
Interested in making an offer? Rick Miner's your man. He's also got a lot more pictures on his website.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life on a Lake Union houseboat is but a dream...

The best thing about that movie.

When I was a teenager, we had a family friend who lived on a tiny adorable houseboat on Lake Union (in Fremont), and she frequently asked me to come spend weekends there babysitting her house-rabbit, Theo. It was delightfully eccentric, though it was strange to fall asleep to the house gently bobbing in the water.

I always thought it was a set - never occurred to me it was REAL. I'd buy it in a minute - just right for Sydney Harbour.
It was so yummy, and her house was so awful & tacky, I couldn't imagine them as a couple. The only worse set of homes & couples was When Harry Met Sally. Mismatched decorating must be the subtext of Rob Reiner movies. (Someone do a PhD thesis - quick)
Also loved the soundtrack.

I never realized that was a boat! Or house boat. I thought it was just... a house. What a nice view.

what does 1.75 bathrooms mean?
view LegsBattaglia's profile
LegsBattaglia: .75 or 3/4 bath includes a sink, commode, and stall shower, where a full bath has a tub or tub/shower combo.

Deb of Oz - You are so right! I think Reiner summed it up with the wagon wheel coffee table rant.
