In Santa Barbara, a $5M Floating Home Is Looking for Its Next Captain
Location: Santa Barbara Harbor, Marina 3C, Slip ST-13, Santa Barbara, California
Price: $4,900,000
Footprint: 1,290 square feet (two bedrooms, one bath)
From the Agent: "This floating home, dubbed the Thomas Jefferson, is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece designed and rebuilt by a father (engineer) and son (carpenter) over a period of four years. As the Municipal Code has imposed restrictions on similar structures, it emphasizes the inherent value, exclusivity, and rarity of this floating home. Notable features include: quarter- and rift-sawn white oak floors and staircase; pops of burl wood, mahogany, brass, and wool; and marble countertops with two integrated sinks. Between the tint on the glazing and numerous interior lighting options, it’s easy to remain invisible indoors; keeping the inside in and the outside out. Nothing compares."
With its sleek, wood-clad exterior and two-story structure, the floating residence is easy to spot near the edge of the marina.
In addition to handcrafted cabinetry, the bright and airy kitchen features a U-shaped countertop and a built-in bench.
A white-oak staircase connects the main living areas with the bedroom on the upper level.
A window above the shower fills the bathroom with ample natural light.
"The deck offers views for miles, illustrating the exquisite stillness of the ocean while also underscoring a profound connection to nature and the elements," notes the agent.
