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.

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

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.

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.

I never understood why anyone would live on a barge set-up. The beauty of living on a boat part time, or full time.... is the ability to wake up next to a beach void of civilization.

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!

That is for me the best of both worlds. Living on a boat in calm waters surrounded by other boaters and nature, then to top it off visuals of the city and the industrial feel of the draw bridge and other traffic. What a great place and way to live.

Love your floating home. Beautifully appointed with wood and brass, plus lots of windows for viewing the University Bridge, I-5 Bridge, and boat traffic. I used to live in Wallingford and my apartment looked out on Lake Union, so I know how the background noise of Aurora and I-5 bridges is easy to tune out. It must be great to view the Christmas-lit boats as they float by. Thanks for sharing. Jenny

It is a very well designed and built houseboat. I love how they are letting the boat talk and not trying to cover up the holes while also trying not to create new ones. I wonder how long it takes and where they move to when the boat has to be removed and the hull repainted every few years ?

But, it would not be on the water. Perhaps this is the dream, and a condo is not. If I had the choice, I would take the boat over a condo, and I get seasick! But I can take meds for that!

Your kitten is adorable & it's so obvious she loves it there, so close to nature & all the animals she can watch & interact with!

My Grandfather built one with floating log base in the early 30's on Lake Union, Seattle. Mother was raised on it and she was born with C.P. treated as polio...so 6 months in casts, then braces. She had her own little row boat for exercise. Movie in 50's euth Debbie Reynolds about living in houseboat on the Mississippi. Many people world wide raise families on boats and have for centuries.

To float around in the evening and view all the landscape and other boats and all that goes with boating. I guess it all about your life style. Beautiful boat and a nice young couple to enjoy it.
