Looking to purchase a piece of history on the water in Seattle? The houseboat featured in the 1993 movie Sleepless in Seattle is for sale for 2.5 million. Something about houseboats on Lake Union is very appealing to many of us Seattleites.
Originally houseboats were built for the poor in Seattle but are now more for the wealthy with their rapidly increasing prices. Only 487 houseboats exist and because of shoreline management laws no more can be built. The demand definitely exceeds the supply.
This is not a house for those looking to have tons of privacy since it is on several tours. If you do buy the Sleepless in Seattle houseboat expect to have many visitors stopping by to check it out and wave as you sit on your porch.
You shouldn’t actually be sleepless in this house as boaters know the best place to sleep is on the water and the visitors won’t be coming by at night.
