Luxury On Board. Beth Greenspun sits on the pile-carpeted stairs of the Greenspuns’ sophisticated Manhattan home – which bobs on every wave and ripple of the Hudson River and is moored at New York’s 79th Street Boat Basin. It’s a 45 feet by 24 split level houseboat with its own basement and veranda. It is air-conditioned, has two bathrooms, and was designed and built by Gene Greenspun, Beth’s husband, for $35,000.
