A cheerful white pergola welcomes you onto the dock at Tenas Chuck — dockside living unlike any other. This sunny south-facing floating home was re-imagined in 2004, and rebuilt to embrace history while elevating modern dockside living. A sprung roof over cedar shake siding, a rooftop deck with cable railings, a chambered concrete float — from the dock, a timeless silhouette that belongs on the water. Inside a NanaWall accordion glass door opens the great room entirely to the waterside deck, dissolving interior and exterior lines. Two back-to-back fireplaces (gas or wood) serve both interior and deck. The outdoor masonry fireplace doubles as a grill, adding activity and joy to every season. The kitchen is built for cooking & entertaining: DCS range, Subzero refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel dish drawers. Anigre-paneled walls with custom art hangers, cove lighting, heated floors, and whole-house audio wiring give the interior a warm, modern, considered feel. Custom-tiled jetted tub and extensive built-in storage throughout. Includes small boat & paddleboard moorage on 3 sides. Eastlake's Tenas Chuck Moorage is a registered historic floating home community with nearby parking and EV charging available. Steps from Eastlake's Smallest Floating Home Museum, shops, groceries, and restaurants. And when the Fourth of July arrives, you already have the best seat in Seattle. Come join us on the lake!
