<\/p>\n

A new wave of floating homes<\/a> might have you reevaluating your position in life. Who says you need to have your feet planted on the ground?<\/p>\n

With their sleek modern lines and clever design, some of these beautiful and buoyant dwellings are so well-crafted that they\u2019re difficult to distinguish from their land-based counterparts.<\/p>\n

Another ripple you can\u2019t help but notice is that the majority of these dwellings are located in one particular Pacific Northwest city. Even if you don\u2019t plan to buy one of these beauties, perhaps a rewatch of \u201cSleepless in Seattle\u201d is in order.<\/p>\n

But before you cue up the movie, we\u2019d love for you to sail along with us as we survey five beautiful floating homes on the market right now.<\/p>\n

2821 Fairview Ave E Unit 7, Seattle, WA<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $3,850,000
\n<\/strong>Modern maritime miracle:<\/strong> More of a beach house than a houseboat, this luxe lair on Lake Union has posh accoutrements like Pedini cabinets, sandstone floors, a modern fireplace, and Miele appliances within its modest 2,000-square-foot layout.<\/p>\n

The spacious decks are divine for soaking up the sun and enjoying alfresco dining. One even has a built-in grill. Inside, the two bedrooms and 2.5 baths are also the epitome of luxury.<\/p>\n

And get this: This floating home comes with a boat for an owner to motor around Puget Sound. There\u2019s also basement storage\/laundry and additional studio space.<\/p>\n

2401 N Northlake Way Unit L6, Seattle, WA<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $555,000
\n<\/strong>Shingles on the shore:<\/strong> Christened the Haida Bird, this 555-square-foot floating home features stained-glass windows, French doors, and a wood-beamed ceiling. There\u2019s even a sliding barn door that makes the single bathroom private. Plus, there\u2019s a cozy loft-type bedroom up a winding staircase.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s freshly painted and colorful inside. The exterior is defined by shingled walls and a gabled roof, giving the home the appearance of a woodcutter\u2019s cabin.<\/p>\n

Docked at a convenient location on Lake Union, it\u2019s surprisingly close to downtown Seattle.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>Floating fourplex:<\/strong> A miracle of modern times, this floating home is divided into four separate living units, each with its own kitchen, cedar deck, built-in platform bed, and bathroom with heated tile flooring. They offer views of San Francisco, Sausalito, and the Tiburon peninsula.<\/p>\n

You might think that four studio units in a total of 2,000 square feet would be loud and tight, but built-in Sonos speakers combined with soundproofing construction (e.g., poured concrete subfloors and triple-insulated walls) make for surprising privacy.<\/p>\n

Each unit was built for energy efficiency and has a low carbon footprint. Residents share rooftop solar panels. The listing notes there are climate-controlled storage units in the barge below the deck.<\/p>\n
