The living room. 

It's also a pretty rare find according to listing agent Stephanie Carmichael.

The bedroom. 

"It's one of only 25 floating homes in Toronto, so they don't come up for sale often," she told blogTO. 

The open concept living and kitchen area. 

"It's also one of the few one storey floating homes left, so it has more potential for added value with the addition of a second storey, and comes with architectural plans for that addition," added Carmichael.

Additionally, this particular houseboat comes with yard space to satisfy your green thumb cravings!

It's a true rarity in the floating home world to be able to grow your own veggies or cultivate a garden oasis right at the water's edge.

The home office or second bedroom.

Big windows let in lots of natural light. 

The light filled home also has one bathroom, a custom kitchen which boasts all the trimmings, including stainless steel appliances, and a brand new rooftop deck.

You can either live aboard year-round or seize the opportunity to rent it out for long-term stays.

A second storey could be added to the boat. 

Docked at the Bluffers Park Marina, you can enjoy exclusive gated access, secure private and guest parking, and an array of amenities.
