About this home
In one of the most extraordinary settings on Rockport Harbor, 1 Ship Street is a private harborfront enclave with two year-round residences, a private sandy beach, terraced gardens, and sweeping views across the harbor to Indian Island Lighthouse and beyond to Penobscot Bay and its islands. Offered for the first time since 1973, the property combines rare waterfront amenities, architectural distinction, and an intimate sense of privacy at the end of a dead-end street, all in the harbor Charles Kuralt once called ''the most perfect small harbor in America.'' The property comfortably sleeps up to eight guests and is especially well suited for family and guests with space to spread out and enjoy this quintessential coastal retreat. The main residence is a striking modern interpretation of a classic New England waterfront home, inspired by the owners' long admiration for renowned American architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen, with clean lines and light-filled interiors. The open main floor includes a vaulted living room with propane fireplace, a gourmet kitchen, and thoughtful custom details. The lower level offers two private bedroom suites, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like bath and sauna. At the water's edge, the year-round beach house, originally a 1940s boat-repair shop, provides additional accommodations with a full kitchen, two upstairs bedrooms, and one-and-a-half baths. The private sandy beach is an exceptional amenity on Rockport Harbor, creating a rare place for swimming, launching small watercraft, gathering by the water or beach fires. The Matthew Cunningham-designed grounds include terraced gardens, elegant stonework, mature plantings, and stone steps leading toward the shore. 1 Ship Street is a unique offering on Rockport Harbor in a design that honors coastal New England with fresh, sophisticated simplicity. Dead end road, absolutely no drive-bys....
