Uh, yeah, I grew up there.
It is far closer to suburban hell…
… with boats.
The boats are the good part.

nutrition has changed an awful lot since then. the overton window on what is “tall” may be shifted. aside from boats being built compactly in general.
I’d need to see a person above six-feet tall standing upright in those photos before I’d even consider bothering to check it out in person.
not that I could buy it anyway, but if I could, I’m very skeptical of these photos with no easy-to-derive scale.

I can imagine kids in the neighborhood ribbing the owner’s children: “You live in a boat’s ass!”
Not $2 million for less than 1,400 square feet lovely, that’s for sure.

Yeah, but personally I’d mount the whole thing on a gimbal to get that rocking feel. You could also mount the oven on a gimbal as they do in yachts, so if you’re feeling seasick, just go and do a bit of cooking to find equilibrium!
Very good point!
I’ve had the job of recreating architectural models in 3D from photographic references and that’s where the fun begins!
All the doors top off at the ceiling… hmmm:
The galley looks like you can stretch up:
Until you see the floor is lowered by 300mm to 500mm:
To get a sense of scale check out the green boots and the jacket on the railing and see a person inside them standing up… Yikes!:
This place looks like a real head banger!

the kitchen might be ok with those recessed floors, but your first pic is pretty damning. I’ve seen educational tv shows where the (presumably average height) host visits a historical boat and has to duck through the doorways on it.
if the boots and coat in the third pic belong to a shorter-than-average person, then that room is very cramped, indeed.
good eye!
