On a remarkable location on Rockport Harbor, 1 Ship Street is being offered for the first time since 1973: a premier waterfront residence with breathtaking views of the harbor, offering an impressive southeast panorama to Indian Island Lighthouse and beyond to Penobscot Bay and its islands. Set to the sound of waves on the shore and boats rocking in the Harbor, this property combines a stunning main house of modern design with clean lines and a light-filled interior, plus a year-round, waterside beach house dating to the 1940's. The main house was designed by renowned American architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen who is highly respected for his signature minimalist style that reimagines traditional homes into simple yet sophisticated forms, streamlined both inside and out. The home features an open main floor with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open to a large balcony bounded by an almost invisible frameless glass railing. Two bedrooms on the ground floor feature en-suite baths and walk-out access to the property. The charming and cozy water's-edge Beach House, originally a boat-repair shop, now functions as a year-round home with an open main floor and a Pullman kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath. A practical, versatile three-bay garage offers ample space for a workshop or your favorite classic automobile with a large second floor above. All of this is set in a spectacular, awe-inspiring environment, surrounded by terraced gardens, elegant stonework, a private sandy beach, and a sense of joy and tranquility unique to this Harbor.
Absolutely no drive-bys. Ship Street is accessible only by a dead-end road. Therefore, for reasons of courtesy & privacy, please do not drive-by. This property can only be viewed in the company of a broker.
