This is a 45 foot, 1979 CarlCraft houseboat with a fly bridge, and
coveted live aboard status and slip. If you want a comfortable and
spacious boat, in a terrific community, this one is hard to beat for
the price! All of the space and amenities of a one bedroom apartment,
with the many perks of entertaining or relaxing on your own top deck,
with a fantastic view of the Washington monument, Jefferson memorial,
Haines Point, 4th of July fireworks, and the Potomac. The yacht club
has events throughout the year, including happy hours, parties on the
barge (that you can reserve for private parties too), Sunday brunch,
sailing, and much more.
GangPlank marina is closest to the SouthWest Waterfront metro station
on the green line, and also an easy walk from L'Enfant
(blue/orange/green/yellow lines). Very quick access to I-395 and
I-295, and a short walk to the National Mall, short drive to Reagan
National airport/Pentagon City/Pentagon Row. Gated parking space
included. There is a CVS and Safeway a couple blocks away, as well as
the new Nationals stadium.
This liveaboard houseboat is a delight to live on with lots of light,
huge windows all around!! I have made numerous improvements to this
boat in the three and half years that I have owned it. In fact I
worked on it every day for the first year. Almost all interior
features have been replaced or upgraded, as my goal was to make a very
comfortable live aboard.
A great deal of attention and resources were spent on the complete
kitchen, with tons of storage space in all new oak cabinetry, new
countertops, full-size refrigerator, microwave, large stove, and a
water filtration system.
The full bathroom is large by boat standards, with a comfortably sized
shower and tub, and plenty of hot water. I have replaced a number of
important items including the water tanks (about 80 gallons), holding
tank (25 gallons), water pump, shower pump, and AC unit (15,000 BTUs –
that's a lot of cold). The boat is warm and toasty in the colder months,
with electrical heating units that will come with the boat.
The spacious salon/living room has spectacular views of the Washington
monument as well. A small TV with DVD player, large comfortable
leather sofa, queen size bed with lots of storage space underneath,
and dresser are yours to keep if you wish. I put in beautiful hardwood
floors on the salon and reinforced the stringers for extra support.
There is a cuddy which makes for terrific storage; or a great place to
put unwanted (and preferably small) guests.
The majority of the lower deck was rebuilt. The lower and mid-decks
were painted last fall. Many of the stanchion bases were rebuilt and
all were re-bedded. If you want to take this boat out it's definitely
possible, but will take some more work.

If interested please email or call me and we can arrange for a showing this Saturday morning or perhaps Wednesday evening. GangPlank marina is a gated
community, so I will need to escort you into the marina. When you
arrive at 600 Water St. just give me a call and I will come meet you
at the security office. My cell is 814 574 6309. In addition to metro
access at L'Enfant and Waterfront/SEU, there is often parking on Water
Street. Look for a big blue sign that reads Odyssey.
