It even comes with a delicately crafted white fence that welcomes all visitors into a private garden.
Here's the view from the other side, so you can truly immerse yourself in its serenity.
Spiral stairs lead us to a charming deck area.

Guests can relish a mix of vintage and artistic vibes as they marvel at the Canadian harbor views.
Let the sirens guide you on your restful days! No waterfront dwelling would ever be complete without a special decorative celebration of the open oceans.

The living area enjoys a soothing, yet cheerful, concoction of classic fittings.
Too bright? Just right? Vibrant pinks and purples won't be to everyone's tastes, but nobody can fault them for memorability.
Needless to say, the stylish open-plan downstairs area appeals to maximalist conventions. Make sure to take in all the ornate details in this reinvigorating room before we move along to the upper levels.
Sanguine hues emit a sense of royalty in this artfully defined sleeping space.
Creamy tones and amorous motifs envelop the coziest of this houseboat's bedrooms.
The jovial blend of modern and refined touches prevails in the bathroom, where elegance thrives in each and every direction.
