Australian musician Nick Cave is selling his $700,000 London home, a houseboat on the River Thames.
The 47-year-old has lived on the Encantada -- moored in the capital's exclusive Chelsea -- for three years, but is expected to exchange contracts with an unnamed woman Thursday.
The boat boasts just two bedrooms and two bathrooms and an open-plan living area, on two storeys.
The new owner's neighbors will include artist Damien Hirst and Sir Bob Gedolf's partner Jeanne Marine, who has a retreat nearby.
Local resident photographer David Loftus, says, "The houseboat was bound to go quickly because it is so nice.
"There is a close community here, it's a bit like a village. It's getting a bit pop-starry though. Roger Taylor from Queen was looking around one here, too."
