Property Description
Step aboard a true piece of Ketchikan history! This is not just a houseboat; it is a meticulously crafted, custom floating home with a story. Originally a 1951 oyster dredge, this vessel was acquired by the original owners of Ketchikan's own Homestead Skiff and transformed using their exceptional craftsmanship and maritime expertise. Serving as both their family home and workshop during their tenure at Homestead Skiff, every square inch of this property has history woven into the very fabric of the vessel, visible in the restored salvaged doors, unique maritime treasures, and meticulous custom built-ins found around every corner. Key Features Historic Roots & Custom Craftsmanship: Built from a rugged 1951 oyster dredge hull and expertly remodeled with custom additions, featuring lovingly restored salvaged doors and unique maritime treasures throughout. Spacious Living: A generous 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout offering comfortable, open-concept living space designed for everyday life on the water. Exceptional Storage: Tons of built-in storage solutions throughout the vessel to keep your gear, tools, and belongings organized. Reliable Power & Comfort: Equipped with two low hours 250hp Honda outboard motors for dependable mobility, plus two monitor heaters to keep the interior cozy and warm throughout every Alaskan season. Expansive Outdoor Living: Generous deck spaces perfect for entertaining, taking in the breathtaking Ketchikan scenery, or enjoying front-row seats to local marine life. Whether you are looking for a stunning live-aboard full-time residence, a unique vacation getaway, this remarkable houseboat offers a rare combination of rugged utility, artistic charm, and waterfront luxury.
