This 2,453 sq. ft. 5-bedroom float house sits on a 1,600 sq. ft. concrete barge in the Broughton Archipelago. The two-story rectangular wooden structure features aluminum siding and a metal roof.
The lower level has a concrete floor and includes a large open workspace, storage area, generator room, electrical room, freshwater tank, and waste treatment system. The upper level serves as the living area, featuring a kitchen, five bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry, a common room, and a utility/storage room.
Extensive renovations in 2011/2012 included new metal siding and insulation, updated plumbing, new flooring, drywall, cabinets, and bathroom fixtures. The flotation consists of a reinforced concrete shell with expanded polystyrene and a concrete deck.
Power comes from a 240V Stamford 21KW generator with a Kubota diesel engine, supported by a 120V auto-start system and six heavy-duty batteries. The 1,100-gallon rainwater collection system supplies a pressurized hot and cold water system, heated by a 151L propane water heater. Potable water is provided via bottled water. Wastewater is processed through a 1,000-gallon treatment system, with nearly new PVC piping.
Four 454L propane tanks supply heating, hot water, and cooking. Required safety equipment may need updating. All furniture and appliances are included in the sale. A 2022 survey reports the floats, structure, and appliances to be in good condition. Valued at $750,000 in 2022.
