Modern Struktures – American Houseboats, Studio Model.
The seller purchased this houseboat new, and has used it as an office since. Currently slipped at the Warf Marina in Washington, DC, and comes with live-aboard rights. This is a great opportunity to own a condo on the water at a fantastic price. Potomac River and Park views from the bedroom deck, and wide views from the upper deck…you can see the Washington Monument.
The vessel is not currently for sale without live-aboard rights.
Live-aboard cost is about $1500/mo + electric, and you must carry insurance.
