About Me: 

Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home.  Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.

Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine!  I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week.   Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.

In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry.  With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.

Brand New Construction Seattle Floating Home Going In On Fairview Landings Dock

When I saw this large concrete Seattle floating home float being towed across Lake Union, I assumed it was on its way to Ward's Cove when all the new construction in Seattle floating homes is happening.  While walking my weekly Lake Union loop, I was excited and surprised to see it on the Fairview Landings dock!

New construction and Seattle floating homes are two terms that usually do not go together.  There are times when an older floating home can be taken down to the float and rebuilt, but a brand new Seattle houseboat is rare on Lake Union!  There are only so many moorage slips and restrictions are such that it is nearly impossible to add more docks unless exactly the right criteria is present.  This is what makes Ward's Cove so coveted and also Fairview Landings.

If you are interested in Seattle floating homes for sale or information about building a new Seattle floating home, let us know and we can show you our favorite houseboats and houseboat slips!

Okay, so it’s technically a housebarge.  What’s the difference you ask? 

Listed by Courtney Cooper & Molly Cartwright

Molly's description of our new Seattle Houseboat listing: 

"There are three types of house oriented living on Lake Union in Seattle:  HouseBarge, HouseBoat, and a Floating Home.  I get asked “what’s the difference?” all the time.  And there is a big difference!  But because the NWMLS only has one option for us to input the type of structure, they’re all bundled under “houseboat”.

A HouseBarge was constructed as a home that floats and is moveable but has no motor or sales tax.  I say “was” constructed because there are only 34 registered or grandfathered housebarges in Seattle.  This is unlike a HouseBoat…which has a motor and is constructed as a vessel and are still being built to this day.  And since it’s a vessel, you will be paying sales tax because it’s considered personal property, not “real” property.

 This handsome housebarge sits proudly in a very active Westlake Marina slip.   It’s #7 of 34 registered housebarges in Seattle King County. 

 The 600 square foot barge has recently been hauled out for a complete and successful survey.  You’ll enjoy one nice size bedroom, a clean as a whistle .75 bath (shower, no tub), take the spiral staircase to the top story just full of possibilities and the views are worth a million bucks!

New paint inside and out, new flooring and carpet, tankless water heater and a sturdy double pontoon fiberglass over plywood hull."

This Seattle Houseboat is special - call us for a private showing if you are interested in a unique Seattle waterfront living situation.
