Houseboat Living Revised

Thanks for your interest in the houseboat! Here's some details that may help answer any questions you have! If not please ask!

Living: Life on the houseboat is easy. The boat doesn't require any special maintenance or skill. It is fully heated with A/C in the summertime so it is comfortable all year round.

This space is 300 square feet inside and 250 sq feet outside (deckspace). The best spot in good weather is up on the top deck. The view is very nice from there.

There is a fully working bathroom with shower, a galley or kitchen with 2 burners and a microwave oven. If you prefer not to cook there is tons of good food in the neighborhood especially with the opening of several Russian markets of late. There is also a 24 hour deli with a large selection of prepared foods on the corner. There is a double bed with accommodation for one more person on the sleeping couch.

On the right you'll find a few more pics of the interior of the boat:
THE "HOOD"The boat is in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood of Brooklyn.
It is accessible by the B or Q trains. The local B4 bus stops right across the street and will get you to the train station in about 10 minutes. Midtown is about a 45 min train ride. You can also access the 2 and 5 trains via the B44 bus that stops across the street.

Here is a link to a silly new video about Sheepsheads Bay.

Adjoining neighborhoods are Gerrtisen Beach, Manhattan and Brighton Beaches. To the south we have Rockaway Beach, Fort Tilden and Riis park.

What's to do? I have a kayak and a bike you can use if you'd like. There are many beaches nearby; Rockaway Beach, Fort Tilden and Riis park are accessible via a bike path across from the dock or a short 15 minute car ride away.

We have a little Russia, Chinatown, etc close by. The food is always good! Here's some desserts from a local Turkish cafe down the street. Its a great thing to do if you have some free time and a sweet tooth.

These noodles are from the local china town on Avenue U. Delectable!

This chicken souvlaki plate is from El Greco dinner at Emmons and Sheepshead Bay Rd...a tremendous amount of food for about ten bucks!

Ammenities: Currently we have dish tv and a high speed wireless internet connection. You will be very comfortable here.

There is ample off street parking and a 8 foot security fence which requires a key to get in.

This is a quiet area with considerate neighbors. Some are year round residents but some are only here in the summertime.

Local wildlife: see pics.....with lots more around!
