From the Agent: "This floating home, dubbed the Thomas Jefferson, is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece designed and rebuilt by a father (engineer) and son (carpenter) over a period of four years. As the Municipal Code has imposed restrictions on similar structures, it emphasizes the inherent value, exclusivity, and rarity of this floating home. Notable features include: quarter- and rift-sawn white oak floors and staircase; pops of burl wood, mahogany, brass, and wool; and marble countertops with two integrated sinks. Between the tint on the glazing and numerous interior lighting options, it’s easy to remain invisible indoors; keeping the inside in and the outside out. Nothing compares."
