Cheapest House In Seattle? It's A Tiny Boat

Looking for a starter home ... err, starter boat? It's relatively cheep and centrally located.

SEATTLE, WA - This is one of those houses that is, oddly, not actually meant to be lived in. For $189,000, you get a 240 square-foot boat on Lake Union along Westlake Avenue. But the realtor isn't suggesting you start your family here - more like buy it and rent it out on Airbnb. Here are the details:

  • Address: 1818 Westlake Ave N Unit D18, Seattle, Washington
  • Price: $189,000
  • Square Feet: 240
  • Bedrooms: 1
  • Bathrooms: 1 Baths
  • Built: 1984
  • Features: This is the houseboat you have been waiting for! Located on a dock in South Lake Union that allows short-term rentals, this sweet "cabin" on the water is a great investment! Cute as a button & cozy, it's the perfect little get away, pied-a-terre or VRBO. So Seattle, so well-located, so easy to love! Close to transit, bike trail, restaurants, major employers & everything else!
