Living right on the water at an affordable price is possible again with this efficient houseboat unit that has been completely remodeled. Architected by renowned local houseboat architect Leal Charonnat, each unit features panoramic open water views from every angle. Energy efficiency and a low carbon footprint are assured by all-electric energy star appliances, including individual ductless heat/air pumps and shared rooftop solar panels. Sonos speakers built into the walls and ceilings of the living areas combine with soundproofing construction techniques like poured concrete subfloors and triple insulated walls to make each unit its own island of solitude. The unit has its own washer/dryer, a full kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, a built-in platform bed set up to take full advantage of the water views, and bathroom floors with heated tiles for yummy warm feet from morning to night. Each unit also has its own private cedar deck and climate-controlled storage.
