Is apartment life not for you? Maybe it’s time to try life on the high seas. Well, at least in Coal Harbour.

There’s an adorable float house for sale, listed at $419,000. That’s a dream come true if you’ve always dreamt of living on the water. While that price is cheap, much lower than what you’d pay for even the tiniest condo in Vancouver, it doesn’t tell the whole financial story. There’s an annual moorage of $11,950.83, and you’d also have to pay the City of Vancouver’s live-aboard license fee of $1,900 per year, according to the listing.

Still, for the right adventurous buyer, this could be the perfect fit.

From the outside, it resembles a wee tugboat. It’s a cheerful red, right by the seawall near the Coal Harbour Community Centre. According to the listing, the home was recently updated, both the interior and the roof and deck.

When you walk in, you see that it’s not like living on a boat – it looks like a normal apartment! The main floor is like an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area.
