Houseboat on Seattle’s Lake Union has a minimal price
The C-Pearl, a small houseboat on Lake Union, is currently one of Seattle’s cheapest listings.
The house is quite small, comprising only 162 square feet of space. But, as is the case with so many houseboats and houseboats, the layout is ingenious – most of the storage space is built into the walls and hidden under furniture.
The clever construction combines a TV stand, fireplace and storage space.

A gas fireplace warms the entire interior, which includes a loft-like living room, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.
The kitchen is fully equipped and is one level below the bedroom.

The boat contains several levels, each of which is bathed in natural light.

The bedroom, nestled under a staircase, is cozy.

The bathroom includes a walk-in shower.

The scenery from the bridge is classic Seattle.

“Vendors loved being centrally located to all the amenities of Fremont and Wallingford,” Windermere listing agent Sean Boe told the Seattle PI.
Indeed, Gas Works Park, the Fremont Brewing Company and several other urban amenities are just steps from the marina.
The first level deck can accommodate a coffee table, perfect for admiring the ocean view. Note the ladder that leads to the roof terrace.

The roof terrace is well furnished.

The paddle boards you see here come with the house.

The neighboring houseboats have a special charm.
