About this property

Iconic AIA award-winning floating home in the coveted “end of the dock” location. This architectural treasure was lovingly restored by its current owner who honored the past and folded in contemporary comforts for today's living. Built for his personal residence, Jim Jessup’s signature style was created here. Jim went on to become the architect who defined Seattle's floating home movement. Step inside and the architecture announces itself: exposed cathedral ceilings soar above warm cedar walls, custom stained-glass details, and newly refinished hardwood floors. Black-trimmed walls of windows frame Lake Union every turn, and folding glass patio doors open to the water, blurring the line between inside and out. The newly renovated kitchen is a chef’s dream featuring a Lefton workstation sink, quartz countertops, sleek cabinetry, a gas range, and new appliances. The generous primary suite is perched at the top and enjoys an en-suite bath and loads of closet space. The two bedrooms on the main floor are the perfect guest retreat. Throughout the home, magical little nooks invite quiet moments, all perfectly sized for a tranquil workspace or reading corner. Outside, the wraparound deck and hot tub put you front row to everything Lake Union delivers: seaplanes on approach, kayaks drifting past, city lights and Fourth of July fireworks directly overhead. The condo-owned dock includes a 27-foot boat slip, space for kayaks and paddleboards, and dedicated parking.
