About 1213 E Shelby St
Live the “Sleepless in Seattle” Dream on the Water - Only Few Have the Chance to Enjoy this Lifestyle An exceptionally rare opportunity to experience iconic Seattle living—directly on the water in Portage Bay! This enchanting 2-bedroom, 1-bath floating home offers the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and in-city convenience. Enjoy effortless waterfront living: launch your kayak or paddleboard right from your private deck, sip coffee while the sunrise dances on the bay, or unwind with friends over dinner al fresco. Vaulted ceilings and walls of windows flood the interior with natural light year-round, framing ever-changing views of the lake and sky. A lakeside community garden offers a lush escape. The entry level features an open layout, with the living and dining area opening onto a private on-water deck, complete with a grill. The sleek kitchen is clad in stainless steel and offers ample storage. A cozy guest bedroom or home office, full bath, and in-home laundry complete the living level. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a serene hideaway, complete with a walk-in closet, a private deck, and a bonus storage room. A truly special home—rarely available, always unforgettable. Whether as your full-time residence or city escape, this floating gem embodies the very best of Seattle’s waterfront lifestyle. Offered fully furnished, however, can consider partially furnished or unfurnished options as well. Water, sewer, and garbage utilities included in rent! No pets and no smoking, thank you. Security deposit includes a nonrefundable cleaning fee. Desirable Portage Bay location combines the best of all worlds - lovely, walkable, tree-lined streets and just steps to parks nearby with all their sights; the bustle of Capitol Hill and Eastlake merely blocks away; close proximity to the University of Washington, Seattle’s medical community, downtown Seattle, and easy access to transit and the highways for commutes in any direction have all contributed to making Portage Bay/Eastlake one of Seattle's most desirable places to live.
