Houseboat For Sale

I try to think of catchy titles when I write. But today, I’m going to get right to the point. I’ve got a houseboat for sale in Seattle.

There are a few other houseboats for sale around Lake Union and even one in Nickerson Marina (between Ballard and Fremont bridges). How do they stack up? First let’s start with the moorage of these beauties. You have two options. Lease or own. Leasing allows you to enjoy monthly flexibility without the price fluctuating much. Owning allows you right of ownership and resale value. Which one is right for you? Sometimes it depends on the houseboat you fall in love with. Other times it’s knowing you have more versatility with your investment.

It’s a personal decision.

2143 North Northlake Way #18 offers a unique opportunity to own your slip AND your new beautiful houseboat. It’s a smashing one bedroom + loft houseboat built in 2000 with loads of charm and freedom.

When you’re looking at buying a houseboat, space is a premium … including OUTSIDE SPACE. This one has it!

Two decks combining 300 square feet to enjoy those BIG southwest views on active Lake Union. 2143 North Northlake Way # 18 measures 33.5′ x 10.3′. There is a 50 amp tower, 125 gallon gray water holding tank, 35 gallon black water holding tank and roughly 650 square feet. A new hull was designed in 2006, new floors, carpet, remodeled kitchen, new marine toliet and the list goes on.

Whether you’re buying it for yourself or as an investment to rent out, the lifestyle is one only Seattle can offer.

Gas Works Marina offers a cozy cabana for those extra guests (boys and girls showers and bathrooms!) and a coin operated laundry service. Pride of ownership here!
