Seattle Houseboats For Sale: Just SOLD
Seattle Houseboats For Sale: Just SOLD in Eastlake!
Seattle Houseboats Just Sold: Let’s look at 2019 Fairview Ave E in Lake Union’s Eastlake neighborhood
This particular Seattle floating home has a special place in our hearts due to its sentimental background. Though not as famous as its Sleepless in Seattle cousin across Lake Union, this Seattle houseboat is perhaps just as iconic! Located on one of Eastlake’s longest running and most organized cooperative dock, The Log Foundation, this 1930 floating home has had lots and lots of action – even as it was moored in one place and not moving. It was owned by a very longtime and loved Seattle houseboats resident and the home was practically a floating dance hall in its day. We have recently nicknamed the home “Art” after its previous owner and look forward to seeing the new owners enjoy it as much as he reportedly did. There are lots of stories across the lake about the parties that almost always broke out into full on dance soirees and you can tell just by walking into this houseboat that it has had a happy life. We are so thrilled to see it have a loving new chapter.
A little more about this special home…..
So back to the sale itself – Seattle houseboats for sale always are exciting, but closing one is also a cause for celebration. Congratulations on doing such a great job getting it sold. It closed in escrow on 10/13/2015 at a final sales price of $677,500. The floating home has two bedrooms and is 1300 square feet. It has a rather large float for its size and great dock position. It also is well oriented to the lake which is something you don’t always get. Moorage for a recreational boat is possible alongside the home with the permission of the co-op. It also had extra spaces which could function as an office or another nonconforming bedroom. The home is all one level and has the most charming curved ceilings. I was always very taken in with the large open living space and the beautiful spaces throughout. It never felt like a two bedroom home – more like a home with all kinds of possibilities in every corner. As I write this, I personally regret not buying it myself – such a wonderful place with great energy, but alas, there will be other Seattle houseboats for sale and each one is unique and special.
Please call us if you are interested in learning more about Seattle houseboats for sale – We look forward to helping you buy or sell your next Seattle houseboat, whether it is a Seattle floating home, a house barge, or a floating on-water residence. We are excited to help you learn about the lovely Lake Union as well as Seattle Houseboat Living℠.

OK – So Basically You Have Three Choices…
Seattle Houseboats market staying afloat…
We know of a few Seattle floating homes that have sold recently off market including a front row Roanoke Reef floating home … We also know of at least two others about to hit the market so stay tuned, but if you are interested in looking at Seattle houseboats right now, you have three choices.
We recommend this 950 square foot Seattle floating home with a rooftop deck. It is listed for $499,950. Here are the remarks from the MLS listing for this Eastlake houseboat:
This is a great opportunity to live life afloat and own your own moorage and great well run co-op dock! Extremely stylish floating home has a beautiful owner’s suite perched on the second floor. Nice open floor plan, kitchen with stainless steel appliances opening up to a casual great room. Fun decks and spaces, plus a roof top deck!
The other two choices are within the same Log Foundation co-op dock. There is an adorable one on the same dock listed at $449,000 and then a couple docks South but still within the Log Foundation is an end of dock Seattle floating home still located in the Log Foundation and listed for $2,888,000. It is on the most southern Seattle floating home dock in Eastlake so imagine the Seattle skyline views you have from there! It is supreme.
There is one other “on market” option and that is the very last homesite available at Wards’s Cove. Ward’s Cove is the newest Seattle floating home dock and 11 out of the 12 slips have sold. It was listed for $630,000, but is currently under $600,000. Ward’s Cove offers many amenities and some well designed floating home plan options, PLUS it is fee simple ownership. This is RARE. Another rare perk? Parking!
Please let us know if you are interested in any of these or if you would like to see something else we may have upcoming… 206.850.8841 courtney@cooperjacobs.com
Seattle Houseboats On Lake Union In Eastlake: Floating Home On The Market
Interested in dipping your feet into Lake Union’s Houseboat Community?
Seattle floating homes are few and far between – there are around 500 of them in the city and only about a dozen sell each year. Here is a one bedroom with a rooftop deck: 2025 Fairview Ave E It is a really good option if you want a nice combination of modern and Seattle houseboat living. Seattle houseboats offer a unique perspective to waterfront living.
The “Higher” Costs Of Living on A Seattle Floating Home:
Many Seattle floating homes buyers are misinformed as to the cost of living on these. Yes, dollar for dollar as far as square footage goes, there is a premium, but compared to other Seattle waterfront homes, this seems irrelevant. The interesting part is that the cost of actually living in a Seattle floating home is significantly less than a land home once you purchase it. The taxes are less and the dues cover a lot of the utilities you would pay more for in a land home. For instance, the taxes on this Seattle floating home are only around $2000/year. In a land home, they would be $3000 or more easily.
Here is the description of this Seattle houseboat from the MLS:
This is a great opportunity to live life afloat and own your own moorage and great well run co-op dock! Extremely stylish floating home has a beautiful owner’s suite perched on the second floor. Nice open floor plan, kitchen with stainless steel appliances opening up to a casual great room. Fun decks and spaces, plus a roof top deck!
Let us know if you are interested in a private showing of this Seattle floating home or others. We can help you find Seattle floating homes on and off the market and have our fingers on the pulse of this market. We are happy to help you whether you are buying or selling and will work hard for you!

The three bedroom over at Portage Bay Place is 1500 square feet and listed for $750,000. It is currently pending in escrow so we will keep you posted on what it sells for. The Roanoke Reef floating home we sold is on the coveted front row of the Roanoke Reef dock located at 10 E Roanoke Street in Seattle’s Eastlake neighborhood. The asking price? $2,150,000. It is scheduled to close soon so we can share additional details after it closes, but are very excited to have been able to facilitate this one.
