This houseboat charms floatersby with its modern cabin exterior. The wood-clad façade and tin roof are fitting for its Pacific Northwest locale and the mix of materials makes for a seamless addition to the natural surroundings. Indoors, this Seattle home is decked with designer amenities and luxurious finishes. There’s space to work and play with two inviting living rooms, two bedrooms, a cozy dining nook and a well-appointed bathroom. See the interior of this boat on the next slide.

Modern, black-framed windows dressed in almond linen drapes wrap the main living room with sunlight and offer enviable waterfront views. A roomy, cognac-leather sectional piled with vibrant turquoise and orange toss pillows provides ample seating for owners and guests. Walnut accent tables infuse warmth into the design while two bold lamps brighten the space with midcentury flair. Check out the kitchen on the next slide.

This cooking space goes way beyond the standard galley kitchen found on most houseboats. The spacious "U" shaped configuration provides plenty of prep space. The lower cabinets are full of deep drawers while the garage-door-style upper cabinets add storage as well as nautical charm. The bar-height counter above the sink gives the homeowners an extra place to dine.

Modern lines meet the environmentally conscious design in this contemporary canal community located in Amsterdam. The eye-catching houseboats boast airy horizontal slat exteriors, expansive paneless windows, second-story sundecks and stunning greenhouse additions that drench botanicals with sunlight throughout the day.
