Would you pay $187K to live on this Canadian houseboat?

Pretty nice deal for a floating one bedroom, eh? Currently docked in British Columbia’s Sailor’s Cove marina, this adorable Canadian houseboat offers 377 square feet of chicly designed living space for $187,000 — much less than a home of similar size might command on land. The “float home,” as it is repeatedly referred to in the listing — which is held by Wendy Coleman of Royal LePage Coast Capital – Chatterton — is freshly renovated and offers not just an alluring price tag, but also “meticulous update[s] by a skilled carpenter.” There’s an open concept kitchen with a gas oven and a four burner stove, a separate fridge and freezer and an “artisan crafted dining table” and bench off to the side.

There’s a white tile backsplash, a modest amount of counter space and storage space and a sink that would be sizable even for a landlubbing residence. Up a set of curved, wood topped stairs is the second floor and sleeping quarters, where clothing storage frames a bed — and off to the side there is a low ceilinged sitting area, or just enough space to fit two chairs and a table or two.

Up a runged ladder is the private roof deck, which the listing boasts offers “panoramic ocean views of Victoria.” In addition to the top of the ship, there is an additional, smaller outdoor area in the form of a deck off the bathroom. At its current Cove location, the vessel also includes a few amenities, including a dedicated parking space and access to the marina’s facilities, which include multiple showers, bathrooms, laundry and bike storage.

Short term rentals, notably, are not permitted..
