Danny Presents: ‘Gasworks Harbor House’ – 2466 WESTLAKE AVENUE N #4

• Unobstructed, open-water views of Gasworks Park.
• The best of both worlds: End-of-dock views without the exposure and lack of privacy trade-off that an end-of-dock home requires.
• Deck galore with over 1,160 sqft of usable outdoor deck space, including:
  • One of the largest water-level outdoor decks in the floating home community (off the living room), with unobstructed open-water views of Gasworks Park.
  • Large upper level deck, also with unobstructed water views of Gasworks Park.
  • Walk-around decks on the main level
  • Crow’s nest rooftop deck with towering 360 degree views – perfect for viewing 4th of July & Space Needle fireworks shows.
• A boater’s paradise with two large boat slips (located on the front and side), both wide open to Lake Union for easy docking and undocking.
• Boat-lift ready with a steel structural member for the side boat slip.
• Great swimming area off the deck with two stainless steel swim ladders, one for humans and one for dogs.
• Two mounted kayak racks
• One mounted stand up paddleboard rack
• A gardener’s delight with a floating garden including a Coral Bark Japanese Maple tree, and space for planters on the walk-around decks and upper & lower floor deck, all with irrigation. Garden without the work of maintaining a yard!
• Spectacular sunrise views across the lake.
• Four exterior storage closets with over 380 cu.ft. of storage space
• Large gas-fired firepit under a covered deck – a popular gathering spot on the deck year-round
• Extended summer-time sunsets when the sun sets behind the canal.
• Flanked by two small, one-level homes on both sides.

THE VIEW AND ENTERTAINMENT

• The weekly spectacle that is the Duck Dodge sailing race, on Tuesday evenings between May & September. One of the race’s three markers is typically set in such a way that the sailboats set their colorful spinnaker sails as they glide downwind past this home.

• The seaplanes, taking off and landing.
• Hot-tub boats, paddleboards, kayaks, and many other small watercraft.
