Love canal boats and haven't posted one in a while. Thanks to Ingek73 for finding this one- it's gorgeous! I've never seen such a classy canal boat. Built in 1943, it's been completely renovated, has 3bds, 1ba, €1,475,000 / $1.618M. Usually, people buy canal boats to live cheaper, but this one is worth the higher price.
I did not expect anything like this. Usually, canal boats are narrow, cute and cozy. This is like a house.
I've never seen one this spacious or with a built-in fireplace.
On the raised platform in the living room where they have a lovely desk facing the deck, plus there's a sliding door to access it.
Usually houseboats are tight, but you could definitely entertain in here, it's huge.
Nice corner to relax with a view of the outside.
How cool is this? They put a glass panel in the floor so you can see the downstairs hallway.
The wide galley kitchen has a fireplace in the wall.
Down the stairs to the lower deck.
Bedrooms are off this hallway. Note the glass ceiling insert above.
Very spacious primary bedroom with built-in shelving, ceiling beams, and a cool industrial look.
This is beautiful.
Note how the shelves tilt back in case the water gets choppy.
It's even got a walk-in closet.
Very large bath has a big shower and separate toilet. Look at the sink, it looks like it's floating on air.
Big laundry room with a porthole.
Plus another walk-in closet.
Bedroom #2 is a good size.
Bedroom #3 has a cute porthole and is large enough to fit twin beds.
They've got quite an extensive container garden that needs some tending.
On this side is an area for a table.
Just lovely, isn't it?

By Ken James: When you're the only one home. I love it when you can find an obvious subject. This was from a storm that came through the bay area and this houseboat looked like one of the only ones with a light on.

*I pride myself on not using ai images or sky replacements and whatnot. On this image, although real and taken with my drone, I turned the luminance lower to enhance the effect of darkness, so I'd consider this more of a digital art piece.

Do you know about the houseboat community in Sausalito, CA? There's some really neat ones that have been there since the 60's
I did not! They look fantastic, thank you!

The weekend in Flotsdaam went by way too fast. Throwing back a last couple of memories at Trader Dijk’s Tiki Barge before heading out on the long bus trip to Pius Pontus for my next paid shoot. #floatingworld #houseboats #canals #tikibar #maitai #amsterdamstyle #sundayvibes #photographerlife #digitalnomads #artdiscover https://www.instagram.com/p/Coj9JffumQ1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
