This Vibrant Two-Story Houseboat Is Up for Grabs in Sausalito for $1.33M
The unforgettably colorful exterior hides a calming and contemporary interior.
Another darling floating home in Sausalito has hit the market. Like Shel Silverstein’s former balloon barge that's currently up for sale, this two-story residence comes with a boatload of charm—pun intended.
While the home at 50 Issaquah Dock boasts a bright, whimsical facade, its interior portrays a sleek, calmer aesthetic. A double-height interior enhance the sense of space throughout.

Behind an instantly recognizable facade of magenta, golden yellow, and red, hides an unexpectedly calm, airy retreat filled with natural light. Inside, an all-white color palette contrasts with pale hardwoods, and a double-story living area enhances the interior living space. Featuring two bedrooms and one bath, the home also offers a loft-like office space, as well as a newly remodeled kitchen and outdoor terrace. The rear dock provides room for a motorboat, too.
Gray subway tiles add a muted color tone in the renovated kitchen, which features all new appliances, as well as ample countertop space and cabinetry.
