Couple buys gorgeous floating home - waterfront life next to million dollar homes!

Lily and Dylan purchased a floating home and live in one of Seattle's most expensive waterfront properties, but they do it for a fraction of the price. In this video, they take us on a tour of their gorgeous, wood-filled houseboat, which features two bedrooms and two baths.

Looks like a little slice of heaven, with Mia the cat as a delightful guardian. Thanks for this enjoyable video, Jenna. I will definitely view it multiple times.

I love how they integrated their decor with the boat’s nautical history, such as their use of brass fixtures.

This has been done so beautifully.I can understand why they fell in love with this .I love how they decorated it and did changes but were empathic to the original boat.What an amazing place to live 🥰

This is the second houseboat tour I've seen. Being on the water reminds me of being on vacation. What a satisfying feeling to have a home feel like you're on a permanent vacation. Coffee in bed overlooking the water...sigh. The full size top deck is a great space. Better than having a front yard. The decor is warm and stylish. Bringing in some green color to add to the nautical theme is a nice touch - a land and water vibe. You have it all.

I always love those little "hello, there's a cat here" moments.

[dlb]

What an absolutely beautiful home! I don't think I'd want to leave it. 👍

[Dorina]

Beautiful housebout, lovely couple and the kitty makes everything perfect!

[RikHeijmen]

Love this couple and their lifestyle. So relaxed, loving and respectful. ❤

[brucev]

This is the best houseboat I have seen. This is exactly what I want.

Beautiful home! Love the curved windows in the main bedroom, what a view it provides. Mia is adorable. Love the light in the table. I thought that was original at first thinking how cool to have light like that. Nicely done!

[Jaya-znvr]

So beautiful! Cosy, inviting, luxurious, soft light through the wood and plants.. Great view! Simply divine, living at its best!!

[wtfnouser]

I’m a simple man. I see a cat, I press like.

[DawnOldham]

Their home looks like a vacation home! What a unique place. It has lovely aesthetics and plenty of space. Thank you for sharing with us!

[bonnies]

What an absolutely beautiful home you have created!!! And Mia is adorable!!! Enjoy every moment of every day ~ sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always. I love you.

[kallasusort]

In my neck of the woods! Note moorage in Seattle is very expensive - and that would be a high end houseboat/barge. It is beautiful and a nice layout. Love Mia - she is so cute. Blessings for a wonderful life on the water.

Dylan’s a handy guy! It’s great that he is so creative. And that he made the house boat their own style.

[melissawilson]

That sweet cat makes her presence known! Bless her 😂

[beaterose]

Just beautiful design and decor! I love that this lovely couple payed homage to the boat builder by keeping some of the images. The kitchen and brass accents are a dream. Oh, and those green lamps... I love them :)

[ericalampley]

Mia had thoughts! She was the star, or demanded to be! Lol! Beautiful cat, beautiful boat.

[johnj]

What an awesome floating home! Amazing use of space and so many neat touches. I'm one of those people you see scooting along in a boat passing your beautiful home. During the summer on most weekends I make my way from Ballard, where my boat is stored, onto Andrew's Bay on Lake Washington. This coming weekend I'll be sure to honk and wave to the two of you and Mia the cat!
