Removed from the urban bustle—though just 15 minutes from the center of the city—the Modern Houseboat offers a unique opportunity to experience a life on water, while taking in the beautiful natural surroundings that this part of the city has to offer.

The living space that features a freestanding fireplace looks out through a seated window that perfectly frames the yard.
