This 1920 two-bedroom floating home has the feel of a cabin, with wood paneling, a simple vaulted ceiling, and a wall full of built-in bookshelves next to a cozy wood stove.
It really is mostly square, or at least rectangular; but the clever rotation of at least one section gives this $799,000 Portage Bay floating home a unique look.
A house beside and partly over Portage Bay provides the access to the water and the solidity of a foundation by reaching out from the shore. Make an offer for the $1,150,000 (plus $375 per month) house and wake up to quacking coming from below.
The 2-BR, 2-bath home at 1213 E Shelby Street could be mistaken for a regular-old land-locked house. But it's not. It's floating right there in Portage Bay and now it's available for $935K.
The price is just under a million, $945,000 with an additional $480 per month for dues. One bonus that offsets the monthly dues is possibly being able to moor at home (boat and neighborhood specs and regulations allowing.)
The 2-BR, 1,024 square-foot floating home at the very end of the dock at 2822 Boyer Avenue E is just that and it's on the market asking $1.395M (plus $300/month in HOAs).
