Since it’s a float house, you will have to pay for annual moorage at the Mosquito Creek Marina, which costs $18,490 per year. You can even rent out and Airbnb the place. The current tenant is paying $2,500 per month.

Included in the moorage fees are parking, dock maintenance, 24/7 security, and hook-ups to water, power, sewer, and recycling. You could even dock a small boat near your home!

The home feels bright and spacious with its open plan. White walls, dark floors, and rich, warm wood create a striking palette where the colour red shines, especially in the kitchen.

When it’s time to sleep, you can climb up the ladder to your loft-style bedroom.
