Serving as both their family home and workshop during their tenure at Homestead Skiff, every square inch of this property has history woven into the very fabric of the vessel, visible in the restored salvaged doors, unique maritime treasures, and meticulous custom built-ins found around every corner. Key Features Historic Roots & Custom Craftsmanship: Built from a rugged 1951 oyster dredge hull and expertly remodeled with custom additions, featuring lovingly restored salvaged doors and unique maritime treasures throughout. Spacious Living: A generous 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout offering comfortable, open-concept living space designed for everyday life on the water. Exceptional Storage: Tons of built-in storage solutions throughout the vessel to keep your gear, tools, and belongings organized.
