In the late 1950s, American architect Harry Gesner teamed up with a group of Norwegian boatbuilders to build a series of small houses in Los Angeles's Hollywood Hills.

Now, one of those homes is on the market for more than $2.27 million.

Spanning 2,380 square feet across three levels, the property is light-filled and cozy. The top floor, with its dramatic ceiling, balcony and impressive views of the Santa Monica Mountains, makes for the perfect entertaining space.

The den on the first floor is both spacious and snug, while the view from the second-floor office is sure to inspire any writer.

There are two bedrooms in the home — including one with its own kitchen — as well as three bathrooms.

In addition to two balconies with spectacular views of the Hollywood sign, there's a yard, a garden and covered two-car parking.

So, if you're in the market for a serene retreat and you've got a budget of $2,275,000, this California boathouse might just be the home for you.
