Eleven floating homes reside here at Houseboat Harbor in Portage Bay, but only one is as memorable as this home. Maybe it's the memorizing wildlife witnessed daily on your lake retreat. The heron fishing below, the eagle nesting above. Or maybe it's the stillness in the morning as you launch the kayak for the morning exercise routine. You'll appreciate the two bedrooms, and two bathrooms covering 1,000 square feet in a great flow floor plan. The live edge bar is a cool place to work from home overlooking the natural setting outside. Inside are hardwood floors, a lovely wood burning fireplace, and excellent natural light from the windows and skylights. Outside are 360 degree views from two roof tops and plenty of room for a hot tub. But our favorite place? It's the kitchen table, a place to gather and admire the views both inside and out. Plus fantastic custom storage under the bench seating. Tie up your boat, park the car in your dedicated parking space, store your bikes in the onsite storage, plus a shared wood shop are more additional amenities.
