A Sleepless in Seattle houseboat just like Tom Hanks' could be yours

Rom-com fans are in for a treat.

A houseboat just like the one Tom Hanks’ character Sam Baldwin lived in, in 1993 film Sleepless in Seattle, has gone on the market for USD $2.4 million (AUD $3.5 million).

Listed by Compass real estate, the permanently-moored vessel is located in the popular Mallard Cove in Seattle’s Eastlake district.

Occupying two levels, the unusual two-bedroom and two-bathroom home was built in 1978 and has since been renovated to give more of an industrial aesthetic.

An open-plan layout makes the home perfect for entertaining, with a hand-crafted spiral staircase leading to a rooftop deck with undisturbed water views.

There are plenty of wow factors with a bold red front door, a kitchen with top-notch granite and marble countertops, and curved walls throughout the living area.

The master bedroom is generously sized and has ample wardrobe space and a private balcony to rest and unwind.

While the lower deck is perfect for stepping aboard your boat or kayak, the vessel also has capacity for two parking spots.
