Property Description
The Iconic “Shiphouse” – A Fenwick Island Landmark
A true Fenwick Island icon, the “Shiphouse” stands as a one-of-a-kind architectural treasure—featured in Architectural Magazine for its distinctive coastal design.
The ground level offers a self-contained 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment complete with its own kitchen, living area, washer/dryer and a private rear entrance. An interior ship's ladder connects this space to the main residence, allowing for flexibility as a private suite or part of the whole house.
Upstairs, three more levels unfold with creativity and charm. The main living area features an open-concept layout with a gourmet kitchen, dining area, and family room anchored by a cozy fireplace. Multiple balconies and porches invite you to savor sea breezes, sunrises, and the relaxed Fenwick Island lifestyle.
Set on spacious grounds with ample parking and a backyard perfect for outdoor enjoyment, this home combines comfort, versatility, and coastal character. Conveniently located just steps away from the beach, the home features an outside shower and powder room to make the most of every beach day. With a timeless appeal, the “Shiphouse” is ideal as a family retreat.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of Fenwick Island history!
