A $5.8M floating home with a basement in Fremont is currently on the market, and if it sells at that price, it’ll be the second-highest floating home to sell in Seattle, according to Jay Kipp, a managing broker with Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty.The two-bedroom, three-bathroom home stands at 2,486 square feet and comes with 270-degree views, along with a basement that’s currently structured as a utility room.
Today, with the scarcity of waterfront, access to all the wonderful water that we have here in Seattle, Puget Sound, the lifestyle component has led to a dramatic change in the appeal of water living," Kipp said.He adds, floating homes are just one aspect of the current housing market, but it’s a very Seattle-specific part.
