boulogne-billancourt – 121 m2 interior + 137 m2 terrace – Historic houseboat with Seine & Parc de Saint-Cloud views
A unique and historic floating home moored at the autonomous port of Boulogne-Billancourt, just by the Pont de Saint-Cloud. This exceptional concrete-hull houseboat was originally commissioned in the 1950s by the polar explorer Paul-Émile Victor to demonstrate the capacity of floating concrete to support heavy loads. It was later used by the army’s health services for decompression chambers before being converted into a residence and divided into two independent apartments.
Surfaces & layout: Open and flexible spaces
This rear apartment on the boat offers 121 m2 of interior living space and a 137 m2 open-air rooftop terrace. The layout is smart and versatile, and includes:
-A large living space with lounge, dining area and wood-burning stove
-Open-plan fitted kitchen with island (sink, oven, induction cooktop, 2 refrigerators)
-2 comfortable bedrooms
-1 office/library (can be used as a 3rd bedroom)
-1 en-suite bathroom inside the master bedroom
-1 shower room with walk-in shower
-1 separate WC
-1 spacious utility/laundry room (can be used as office or dining space)
-Built-in storage throughout
The apartment is well distributed, bright and cross-ventilated, offering multiple layout possibilities — ideal for mixed-use or professional work-from-home setups.
Comfort & amenities: A move-in ready property
The boat is equipped with reversible air conditioning (heat pump), plus a wood-burning stove for a cozy winter ambiance. The structure and insulation provide excellent year-round comfort.
-No asbestos detected (the boat has never been motorized)
-Partially covered terrace with open views of the Seine and Parc de Saint-Cloud
-Ideal outdoor space for dining, relaxing or remote working
location: Paris access, transports & daily convenience
Set in a peaceful and green environment, the boat is a tranquil retreat yet extremely well-connected:
-3 minutes' walk to Metro Line 10 (Pont de Saint-Cloud)
-5 minutes' walk to Tram T2
-Immediate proximity to: Bakery, Monoprix, Lidl, restaurants, caterers, cafés
-A few minutes from: Parc de Saint-Cloud, Bois de Boulogne, La Seine Musicale, Musée du Grand Siècle
-Near the future Grand Paris Express network
Technical & legal information
