About A Month For A Southwest Houseboat

This custom-designed two-bedroom home on the Potomac River was on the market for about a month before finding a buyer. The houseboat, designed with the Pacific Northwest in mind, features vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, a combination that results in a bright interior and sweeping views of the Potomac. There is an expansive great room and perhaps one of the home's best features is its rooftop terrace with views of the water. Located in the Wharf Marina, the home has 24-hour gated security, as well as access to the liveaboard service center with a lounge, free Wi-Fi, package services, and private mailboxes.
