An aerial view captures the home's enviable position on Lake Union, surrounded by water, with the Aurora Bridge, Queen Anne, and the Eastlake floating home community all in view. A long covered deck runs alongside the home, offering a sheltered outdoor living space with water views in any weather. A reading chair tucked into the corner of the living room frames a marina view that includes a glimpse of the Space Needle — a daily reminder of where you are.
Rich hardwood floors, warm beamed ceilings, and water views through the windows give the living room a timeless, crafted quality that's rare in any home — let alone one that floats. The kitchen and living room share a natural flow, anchored by a cast-iron wood stove that makes the whole main level feel warm and inviting on Pacific Northwest evenings. Welcome home to this beautifully crafted traditional floating home with its rich wood paneling and friendly dutch-door. Thoughtfully designed nooks provide a place for books or all your extras. Note the stairs, with drawers on the risers, and open as you ascend - Storage and beauty.
The entry foyer with its charming pass-through and Dutch door sets the tone the moment you step inside, opening naturally toward the kitchen and main living areas. The updated kitchen combines wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless appliances with the warm glow of a Tiffany pendant over the dining nook — equal parts functional and charming. A professional gas range and thoughtfully designed cabinetry make this kitchen a genuine cook's space, with the dining nook just steps away for easy entertaining.
From the kitchen, the professional range takes center stage while the eye travels through to the living room's beamed ceiling and glimpses of the cast-iron wood stove. The living room's full sweep of vaulted beams, skylights, wood stove, built-ins, and gleaming hardwood floors. The open sightlines from kitchen to living room to bedroom give the home a surprisingly spacious feel, with warm hardwood floors tying every space together.
The main-level bedroom wraps you in wood beam ceilings and custom built-in shelving with backs painted in a calm teal, creating a cozy and personal retreat. A second angle of the main bedroom reveals its practical layout, with a closet alcove and easy access to the kitchen and main living areas. The living room's French door opens directly onto the dock, blurring the line between the warmth of the interior and the sparkling water just outside.
Dramatic vaulted ceilings with exposed Douglas fir beams, a skylight overhead, and a beautiful wood staircase make the living room the architectural heart of the home. The living room looking toward the kitchen — wood stove, built-in shelving, vaulted beams, and a sectional sofa that invites you to settle in and stay a while. The living room's built-in credenza and bookshelf wall, paired with the wood stove and beamed ceiling, give the space the soul of a well-loved cabin — right in the city.
A closer look at the under-stair workspace reveals the craftsmanship in every detail: solid wood, hand-crafted drawers, open shelving, and a desk surface sized for real work. A detail shot of the ceiling joinery — a reminder that the craftsmanship here isn't just decorative, it's structural and built to last. One of the home's most inventive features: a fully custom built-in desk and shelving system beneath the staircase, crafted in warm wood. The staircase wtih hidden drawers, storage for all your odds & ends.
The upper-level primary bedroom is bright and airy, with dual corner windows, warm wood accents, and an open wardrobe system that makes getting ready a pleasure. The primary bedroom's corner window frames a cinematic view: the Space Needle, the downtown Seattle skyline, and Lake Union glittering below. Wake up to this. The Space Needle and Seattle skyline fill the corner windows of the primary bedroom, a view that never gets old.
The upper level bonus room creates a complete private suite: primary bedroom with lake views, a convenient sink, studio space and its own quiet sense of place, removed from the main living areas. A flexible bonus room with skylights, built-in wall shelving, offers endless possibilities as a studio, home office, or creative retreat. Convenient door to rooftop deck. The rooftop deck is an outdoor room in its own right, with seating, potted plants, and panoramic views over the lake, surrounding floating home community and open sky.
The graceful arc of the Aurora Bridge stretches across the far end of Lake Union, visible from the property and a beloved part of the daily view from the rooftop deck. Step off the living room onto your private dock-level deck, where Adirondack chairs face the marina and Lake Union stretches out in front of you on a sunny Seattle afternoon. From the house, the Seattle skyline and Space Needle rise across the lake, with boats and blue sky completing the picture.
The home from the dock side, with the rooftop deck visible above and the water lapping gently below — a complete picture of floating home life. The sage green shingle exterior and warm wood Dutch-door give the home an instantly welcoming face, with a bench and potted plants making the entry dock feel like a front porch. The dock through the moorage community, lined with neighboring homes and potted plants, captures the close-knit village character that makes the Willow dock feel like a world apart from the rest of the city.
The moorage entrance at The Willow Dock sets the scene: a pergola, mature trees, and a row of mailboxes, covered by an upside down canoe, mark the beginning of something truly different from a standard Seattle address. A broader aerial shows the full geographic context: Lake Union connecting Eastlake to the city, with the mountains to the east and the urban core to the west.
