She Ditched the City for a $200k Houseboat, and Now Her Commute is a Kayak!

The Sky Sanctuary – The Upper Deck

The final “room” of the house isn’t a room at all, but a spectacular outdoor patio located on the roof. This is the owner’s favorite spot for serenity, perched up among the trees that line the marina. It’s a lush, green space where tomatoes and herbs grow in pots, flourishing in the direct sunlight. After saving up for a proper patio set, the owner transformed this area into the ultimate retreat for morning coffee or evening stargazing.

 

Beyond its beauty, the deck represents the outdoor-centric lifestyle of houseboat living. From here, you can see the kayak waiting on the lower deck, ready for a quick twenty-minute paddle before work. While the “bathroom” below offers a simple bathtub and a standard flushing toilet, the true luxury of this home is the 360-degree connection to nature found here on the roof. It is the perfect vantage point to appreciate the tight-knit community of the marina, where neighbors are always ready to lend a hand.
