The Hull
Not a float. A vessel.
Most floating homes on the river sit on foam or concrete billets. This one doesn't — it rests on a wooden barge hull built in 1920, decades before the moorage around it existed. The hull has carried cargo, weathered a century of Columbia River winters, and now carries a home instead. [Add a paragraph here on the barge's documented history, prior use, and any restoration work — buyers respond to specifics: dates, builders, timber species, hull repairs.]
[Add a second paragraph describing the home itself — layout, natural light, how the interior relates to the water, what a typical day looks like on the deck. Keep it concrete and sensory rather than promotional.]
“There are newer floating homes on this river. There is only one that was already a working
barge before Portland had a floating home community at all.”
