She Abandoned City Life for a $200K Houseboat, Commuting by Kayak Every Day

Stepping onto this 550-square-foot floating sanctuary is like entering another world. Built in the 1990s and nestled in an area with 25 other floating homes, this houseboat represents a unique blend of urban proximity and natural serenity. For the owner, Kate, it’s not just a dwelling; it’s a long-term housing solution that prioritizes lifestyle over square footage. The structure sits on aluminum pontoons, balanced meticulously with extra flotation on the kitchen side to ensure stability.
