Renowned floating home American Institute of Architects James Jessup designed this floating home in 1975 for a local Seattle couple who were avid boat racing buffs. They kept a 24’ sailboat moored next to the home and could take off on a minute’s notice. True to form, this Jessup home showcases multileveled spiraling spaces from the study to the living room, on up to the primary bedroom. A creative retractable ladder provides access to the most magnificent views on the roof top. The cathedral windows expand throughout the 1,200 square foot home, alluding to a much larger interior. The smell of cedar wraps your senses and a woodsy spirit with an economy of space rings true. Designed with nature in mind, this home has the perfect backdrop of sailboats, Space Needle views, and the slight sound of water gently lapping. Own a piece of Seattle’s history while living amongst a community of fellow floating home enthusiasts.
