About this property
Welcome to The Salty Dog, a nod to the old nautical slang for a best friend, a favorite person, and now, your favorite floating home. Built in 1974 on a concrete float, this Portage Bay retreat is Pacific Northwest to its core. Tongue-and-groove cedar, vaulted ceilings, and picturesque windows frame the water at every turn, bringing a sense of complete serenity indoors. Two beds, one full bath, and a highly functioning 815 square feet packs the punch. Extensive updates include: New roof, windows, and decking. Fresh interior and exterior paint, Bosch dishwasher and Sub-Zero refrigerator. New bathroom vanity, New sewer line, New carpets and re-stained hardwood floors, Air conditioning, New gangway, Level Lock smart entry. Tie up your boat, toss a ball for the dog in the lake, fire up the grill, and let the day slow down. This location is a major bonus. Tucked between I-5 and SR 520, Portage Bay offers an easy commute south to downtown Seattle or east to Bellevue and Kirkland. A dedicated parking space and moorage for your boat mean you can arrive, settle in, and stay awhile.
