This House Floats, Literally. And It's Awesome.

Add in a two-car garage with bonus space for your gear or projects, and you’ve got a setup that feels less like a condo alternative and more like a lifestyle upgrade.

Here's the floating home — sandy siding, green metal roof. Cute and modern.
Here's the balcony over the river — coastal blues and grays actually work.
Another exterior — beige wood plus green roof. Anyone know why that combo everywhere?
Living room just framing the river. Soft walls, tons of light.
And then a giant closet — beige on beige, plush carpet underfoot.
Kitchen flex — black granite slab, built-in gas. Looks slick, maybe smudgy?
Bathroom goes soft gray and white. Big mirror, oval sink. Safe choice.
Workspace in mint green. Calming, maybe a little dentist office?
Entryway stays airy — soft gray, warm floors, light everywhere. Feels welcoming.
Back outside. river view with sleek railings. From this angle, super clean lines.
Here's the open living — grays, whites, wood accents. Kinda staged, but comfy.
Okay, this bay window steals the show. Views for days.
Glass table with ghost chairs. I mean, it's cool, but echo-y?
Bedroom goes soft gray. Big windows, cozy textures. Easy yes.
Second bedroom’s basically a view machine. Curtains might be mandatory.
From this angle the bridge pops. Aquatic blue outside is. bold?
