Top floor seating area facing south. Waterway view from the aft deck. Knot Home's top deck wraps around with large spaces to hang out and witness the beautiful city and territorial views. It is accessed either inside or outside by two sets of stairs. The lower level deck has an awning that is great to sit outside rain or shine. It's has a nice waterway view.
Knot Home is a 2009 built houseboat located at 2040 Westlake Ave N in an end slip on the dock. Knot Home is a registered City of Seattle houseboat with a FOWR plaque #731. Knot Home is equipped with SMART functions. You can turn on lights, unlock doors, and access to cameras from your smart device. Easy access to the upper deck from the exterior stairs. A warm welcome and a fun glimpse to see the water way on the other side of the houseboat. To the left of this picture are two utility closets. One is for the on demand hot water heater and new washer and dryer. The other one is for storage and hanging jackets, shoes, lifejackets etc.
Step in a bit further past the ladder and the head is on port side. A dedicated office space in a houseboat is rare. This built in desk with storage is quite handy to keep work separate from sleeping and lounging areas. That is the front door and utility closets are now on your right. Here is the opposite angle of the built in desk and office area.
The kitchen has generous counter space, outlets, and cabinets. The stove is hooked up to propane gas and the propane tank is located just to the right of the front door starboard side making it effortless to change the tank. The new Miele dishwasher and other stainless appliances is a handsome pair to the wood cabinets. The hardwood floors are throughout the houseboat on the first floor.
Knot Home is approximately 47.5 feet long. On the other side of the front door is this lovely living room. /NWM2331591/NWM2331591-13.jpg The living room faces south allowing full light all day long.
The separate door leads you to the covered back deck. Also an easy way to launch a kayak. The living room makes a great alternative sleeping area with a sofa bed or a Murphy bed. This nook is the perfect size for an eat-in kitchen table.
Besides the radiant wall units for heat, there is also a new Dickinson marine heater on the wall. It's fueled by propane and the tank is located at starboard side. The three quarter bathroom and a vessel (get it?) vanity sink and a LUXE bidet. The new on demand hot water heater gets your shower hot in seconds.
Across from the bathroom door and steps from the kitchen is this walk in pantry. An unheard of houseboat luxury. The upstairs is the main bedroom. It has views from a window in every direction. That is a floor length mirror and to the left of the mirror is the door leading out to the decks. A queen size mattress fits well in this space. There is a closet and still plenty of room for a dresser or two.
/NWM2331591/NWM2331591-24.jpg Cozy in bed and don't feel like going downstairs to turn off lights? Just say "alexa, good night". Waking up? Just say "alexa, good morning". /NWM2331591/NWM2331591-26.jpg
Outside of the bedroom is yet another seating area. These views are facing north and northeast. Two massive storage units to toss in all your ... stuff.
/NWM2331591/NWM2331591-30.jpg The two aluminum covers you see are where the engines used to be located. Knot Home recently had its exterior fully painted and the anodes replaced.
