Property Description
Welcome home to one of New York's most distinctive escapes, The Margolies Houseboat, a beautifully rebuilt houseboat floating at Marina 59 in the heart of Arverne's waterfront community. Thoughtfully and extensively reimagined over 2025–2026 with nearly 1,100 documented hours of skilled craftsmanship, the Margolies Houseboat feels as close to new as a floating home can get. What makes this offering truly special is the combination of total-gut renovation with an unbeatable location. Major improvements include extensive hull reconstruction and reinforcement using modern composite materials, rebuilt decks and cabin structures, new gelcoat finishes, upgraded electrical systems, multiple new bilge pumps, and enhanced safety features throughout. The sitting area adjoining the study offers excellent flexibility; it can be easily converted into a second bedroom, opening up meaningful options for guests or extended stays. Marina 59 welcomes full-time residents, making this a true year-round home on the water. The A train stop is only one block away, putting all of Manhattan within easy reach, yet the moment you step aboard, the city melts away. Hop on your bike and roll to the iconic Rockaway Beach Boardwalk, cast a line into the bay at sunset, or paddle out to catch a wave. The monthly marina fee of $1,100 covers utilities, parking, and full marina access. This houseboat is truly a one-of-a-kind retreat that delivers on every promise of "getting away from it all." The seller is open to offering financing for the right candidate.
