Can’t help sharing this post by HouseCrazy Sarah! Last weekend, I happened to watch “Sleepless in Seattle” with my daughters (it’s so hard to find something that equally fits a pre-teen and and 8-year old!), and couldn’t help to follow up with a lecture on houseboats. You’d think they’re really as cool as the one in the movie — until you see this. Wow, right?

Here we go:  1960′s Seattle houseboat for sale – housecrazy

How about floating through life on this little teal and yellow cutie?

Ever since I saw that wonderfully sappy movie Sleepless in Seattle (thank you Nora Eprhon), I have always wanted to own a houseboat. Since I live in a land-locked, arid state (Colorado), that’s probably just a pipe dream. But I can dream.

This beautiful vintage houseboat is currently on the market for $350,000. It is large for a houseboat – 1000 square feet – with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

Located on Seattle’s Union Lake, this updated houseboat was built in the year 1960.

Look at the wonderful kitchen…

So quaint! You can see the complete listing details here.

I’m a little claustrophobic but this place is so open and spacious (not to mention the well-edited furnishings), that it feels very comfortable.

Being surrounded by water and lush greenery sounds pretty good right about now (I say this as the state of Colorado smolders around me!)

How about you? Could you ever live in a houseboat?
