Eastlake floating home offers two-level deck, next level views

Atop Lake Union is this cheerful and charming abode, a quintessential Seattle floating home asking $865,000.

The home

Here there is a sense of space not typical to floating homes priced at under $1 million: a total of 880 square feet is augmented by a 600-square-foot deck. Inside are two levels.

On the main floor are a living room, large kitchen with dining area and generous cabinet space, and a full-sized bath.

On the upper level is the bedroom, with clever storage solutions built right into the bed.

Stained glass windows, honey colored wood, bright tile accents, and radiant floors lend warmth, light, and charm.

The deck

The deck, which is almost as large as the indoor space, adds outdoor options for all seasons.

There are two levels here too: on the lower level is both covered and uncovered space for dining, sunbathing, and enjoying the water views.
