The house boat is approximately 550-600 square feet, and includes the main level and the loft bedroom. Kate's houseboat is connected to city water and hydro electricity, and she has a septic tank for waste. She also has a high-speed internet connection at the dock which allows her to work from home.
Living on a boat year-round in Canada is not easy because of the harsh winters so to prevent ice from forming around her home, Kate has several bubblers installed around the pontoons that prevent the water from freezing. She also has a heat trace line to prevent her water line from freezing and she heats her home with a mix of the wood stove and electric wall heaters.

The price of living a life like this is still a mystery. Really nice house boat. Just wish they where more open about cost.
-
so impressed with her taste in her furnishing the houseboat. very elegant.
-
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate those cats living their best lives 😂
-
She really made that kayak dismount look a lot easier than it is!
-
I love how subjective the word "small" is... This houseboat is huge!! The kitchen and bathroom are either same size or larger than most of the Copenhagen/Oslo/Stockholm apartments :D Understanding subjectivity is very important...
-
This is a beautiful home. The whole place has such a calm feel to it and Kate's cats complete the ambient atmosphere. Absolutely gorgeous.
-
I was so shocked when I realized that your home is firstly in Canada and then secondly in Scarborough. I had no idea there was this kind of living so near Toronto. You made quite a find! Beautiful, peaceful home for you and the kitties.

Lived on a Sundance housebarge (42 x 16, 2 br 1 ba) in NY for 8 years, until our firstborn was 3 and we had another one on the way. Loved the community and the fun of telling people about it. Do not miss the ramp from the parking lot down to the docks, particularly in the winter while pregnant. This is beautiful!
-
Such a beautiful home. The key is being neat, clean, organized, and clutter free, which she definitely is!!!! I am so impressed.
-
What a beautiful home! Love it!
-
This lady is really living the life 😍
-
We lived in a very similar houseboat in Sausalito. It's so funny, Kate's even in a different country, different climate & everything she said is exactly the same as our experience. Ours was 450 sf (very similar design!). Thank you for showing the world so well what it's like! Beautiful video and boat!
-
We have been there and the neighbours are close but they are respectful to give space and privacy. We were looking to live there but nothing was available when we looked. We found all the owners are friendly and kind that they allowed us to walk through. I wish we had better luck to have a home there.
-
This was such a beautiful home and to have it on water is the icing on the cake. She has such an elegant way of decorating, and being able to kayak so conveniently adds to the beauty. Call me impressed!
-
What a way to live! This is absolutely gorgeous, you have decorated it beautifully. I would definitely live in a place like this, lucky girl! The windows in your kitchen and loft make the space seem twice as large, I agree about your deck space off of the bedroom. What a beautiful area to sit and plan the next stages of your life. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
-
What a peaceful-looking place you have. Just looking at it makes me wish I was living there. It is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your dream home.
-
Stunning design and beautiful!
-
So now I need a house boat! So cute 🥰

She's fabulous, the houseboat is incredible and the location is gorgeous.
