A floating home on Multnomah Channel. Wake up to still water and wild birds. The city is 20 minutes away — but you will not want to leave.
A covered cedar porch and an open swim deck wrap the water sides of the house. Adirondack chairs. Potted palms and the sound of the current below. This is where mornings happen — coffee in hand, boats drifting past, herons fishing in the shallows.
Grill dinner as the sun goes golden. Wrap in a blanket for the sunset. Stay for the moonrise. The river is always there.
The living room wraps around a cast iron stove on a tile hearth. Cedar plank ceilings overhead. Hardwood floors underfoot. A mid-century modern classic chair by the glass doors where you can watch the rain hit the river while the fire crackles. This is what the Pacific Northwest was made for.
"Mornings move at the speed of the current."
Bread, honey, and a book. The river does the rest.
Built-in cedar desk with river views. High-speed internet. Wood blinds filtering the light off the channel. Take your calls with water beneath you. Step onto the porch for lunch. This isn't working from home — it's working from somewhere extraordinary.
"Twenty minutes from the city. A world away from everything."
