The FLOAT

You should always start with the float on a Seattle floating home, but most people start with the house itself to make sure it checks all the Seattle houseboats boxes.  Each one of these is so very different, but it is important that once you identify the perfect Lake Union floating home that works for your living style, then you go right to the float. The true value in Seattle floating homes in across Lake Union and Lake Union’s eastern arm Portage Bay is the slip dimensions.  The slip sizes for any given slip were largely determined and set in stone across coop docks by looking at any existing structures that occupied the slips at the time that the dock was converted to a coop. These dimensions were then recorded and grandfathered in.  Many of them exceed the limit of brand new homes allowed on the lake so slips with footprints larger than 1200 square feet are especially valuable. seattle floating homes

Seattle floating homesFrom Our Lovely Seattle Floating Home Sellers:

Things We Love About Living Here

We love to hop on our bikes and cruise along the newer Westlake bike trail to Fremont.
We would sometimes attach our pet bike carrier since our favorite bar in Fremont Norm’s on 36th Ave allows dogs inside!

We walk out our sliding glass door and hop on our Paddleboards and other water toys to unwind after a long working day.  However our favorite time is in the early morning hours when the city is still sleeping. SUP yoga anyone?

We love to watch the beautiful yachts cruise into the Westlake marinas and play a game of how this billionaire made their profits!  Plus we like the privacy of living next to a quiet marina instead of a house around every corner.

Nature is everywhere we look and our favorite is to see the Blue Heron hunt for its food right outside our door.

We love to hear the sounds of seaplanes in the distance.  The next time we want to go to the San Juans, we can kayak to Kenmore Air to catch a ride.

The Floating Home Association (FHA) is an awesome community that is always bringing the floating home community together.  Sometimes it’s a dock party (Docktoberfest) or it’s an informative annual meeting (each April) to discuss how we can continue to preserve and improve our lifestyle.  

Above all, we love to tell people (when asked) that we live in a houseboat or floating home.  It never fails to bring a slew of questions about what it’s like and that they’ve always wanted to do the same thing.

Want to see this one?  Call/Text Courtney Cooper 206-850-8841  or email us at houseboats@cooperjacobs.com We are Seattle Floating Homes Experts and happy to help you with this special kind of Seattle home.

Seattle Houseboats for Sale: 2331 Fairview Ave E, Slip X

Seattle Floating Home Just Listed and available for the first time in 20 years!

Looking at Lake Union and Seattle houseboats? Living on Lake Union is one of the most amazing Seattle lifestyles!

It is interesting because usually when we hear about a Seattle floating home that hasn’t been on the market for two decades, we wince a little and wonder what kind of project we may be walking into.  Seattle houseboats can be quite dilapidated at times and there are many older ones which have much deferred maintenance. That is absolutely not the case with this Seattle floating home located at 2331 Fairview Ave E in Slip X.  It is simply stunning and makes me want to sit down and have a glass of wine and chat with the neighbors on a warm sunny day with the water lapping at my toes. Seattle houseboats

The pictures tell a beautiful story of a love affair with a home which is quite obvious at first glance, but look further at the details which have gone into this home over the years and it is difficult to not be impressed.  From the exterior being painted in the last five years to the stringers being replaced as needed, inside and out there are upgrades and detailed maintenance tasks like none we have seen before.  From the gas lines and new electrical and windows to the raised ceiling, vaulted ceilings, and sunny skylights, this home is comfortable for modern living.  The kitchen is upscale with both an eating bar and a dining room with French doors out to the deck.  There are the seldom found in a floating home luxuries of  gas cooking, a gas fireplace, and on-demand hot water, plus additional practical bigger ticket items like a new roof in 2010. Two bedrooms, a bath, and lots of character await you here with an asking price of only $650,000.

Seattle houseboats for saleHere are the MLS listing remarks for our brand new Seattle floating homes listing on Lake Union:

Picture yourself living a fabulous Lake Union waterfront lifestyle in this beautiful  Seattle floating home. Well maintained and remodeled, this south facing home has a sunny disposition and is the perfect place to let the summer in. Gorgeous kitchen with upscale appliances has eating bar and dining room with warm wood floors and French doors that open up to your own private deck retreat. Listen to the seaplanes while you sip coffee or take your kayak or SUP out for a jaunt on the lake without the heavy lifting.Seattle houseboats kitchens

It’s a great place and you won’t be disappointed.  Please let us know if you are interested in Seattle houseboats for sale.  We are happy to help!

Lake Union Moorage Slips In Demand

Lake Union Moorage Slips In Demand

Spring in Seattle has sprung and the Cooper Jacobs office is ringing with inqueries for space on Lake Union. Recent sales of moorage slips are in the range of $75,000 to $125,000 for slips around the lake excluding Wards Cove.  Due to the lack of inventory prices have remained strong and even appear to be increasing from the data we look at.

Wards Cove Listings  are the newest slips available on Lake Union and could be some of the last to ever be developed. There are only a few out of the original twelve available.  A slip at Wards Cove sold on December 28, 2011 which was listed for $885,000 and SOLD for $850,000.  Another was listed for $850,000 and SOLD for $682,000 in July 2011. One listed for sale at $735,000 SOLD for $685,000 on October 25, 2011. Houseboats on Lake Union and Portage Bay are two of Seattle’s strongest real estate markets. More houseboats are being designed and built for Wards Cove and the remaining slips are going quickly so don’t miss the boat! I personally see more and more Seattle houseboats around Lake Union being completely renovated. This is not only good for the local economy like the contractors, suppliers and banks lending the money but also a significant indication that these property values are holding strong.

Cooper Jacobs has a Westlake floating home coming on the market soon and if you want a sneak peak email Courtney at courtney@cooperjacobs.com or conatct her at 206/850-8841 to schedule a tour. It’s a great time to be in the know so if you want an evaluation of your property call Courtney Cooper. Recently, across ‘the pond’ from Wards Cove there was a slip at Gas Works Park Marina that was listed for sale by another real estate agency at $75,000 and sold for $70,000 in 16 days which in our opinion was underpriced. Don’t miss out!

The Seattle Floating Homes Association Floating Homes Tour

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lots of happy faces at the Seattle Floating Homes Association Floating Homes Tour yesterday!  The weather held out although it was supposed to pour on us and things went fairly smoothly.

The Tour Committee…………

The tour committee I had the opportunity to work with was wonderful (Thanks you Cathi, Jann, Laura, Melissa, Ingrid, Jo, Sylvia, Amy, Marty, and Bill).

Volunteers………………

The volunteers were amazing and thoughtful and just such a huge part of making it a great day!  Thank you to all the volunteers who came out in spades – I am so grateful for your help!

The Tour…………….

Tour Volunteer Therese Byrne from Cooper Jacobs Real Estate Services with one of the happy tour goers at a home in Westlake.

There were 12 Floating Homes on Tour plus a bonus Eastlake floating home for sale which got a lot of interest as it was on the same dock as house that was on tour.  In addtion, ticket holders were treated to ferry service going back and forth between Terry Pettus Park and a floating dock in Westlake where they landed right at the famous Sleepless in Seattle houseboat.  The owner was gracious as both a tour volunteer at the boat stop, but also delighted crowds by allowing them to walk around his deck a bit and see where the some of the movie was filmed.

Touring the Mallard Cove open houseboat on the Seattle Floating Homes Tour

There were originally five homes slated to be on tour in Westlake, but due to an emergency, that side of the lake went down to four.  All four homes were quite spectacular and very different from each other.

On the Eastlake side of Lake Union, The Log Foundation Dock was kind enough to have all three of their docks open with a house on each for the tour.  There was also a floating home open on the DOX co-op dock, Tenas Chuck, The Willow Co-op dock, Roanoke Reef, and Mallard Cove.  All of these floating homes were unique and presented different ways of living on the lake.

PR Diva Laura at the coffee stand sponsored by Denise Carlson at Seattle Metropolitan Credit Union.

Thanks to all the great people who came out to support the Seattle Floating Homes Association and Seattle’s Houseboat community!
This is a very special Seattle neighborhood and proceeds from the 1200 tickets sold (SOLD OUT!!!) go towards keeping Seattle houseboats afloat as the city and other forces continually try to add restrictions to one of Seattle’s oldest and most historical neighborhoods.

Make sure and look for updates on the Seattle Floating Homes Tour Facebook page for the next tour – it only happens every other year and you should buy your tickets as early as possible.  We had a waiting list of at least 50 people on Sunday.

If you are interested in Seattle houseboats or have pictures to share from the tour, please feel free to post them here or send them to me and I will add them.  courtney@seattleafloat.com
