North Carolina beach house inspired by shipwreck listed for $4.9M
Figure Eight Island home features rooftop pool
Luxury real estate specialist Katrina Campins says the 'main driver' in the housing industry is interest rates.
A $4.85 million North Carolina beach house nicknamed “the shipwreck” is anything but.
The luxurious modern home got its nickname after the remains of a schooner that was lost at sea in 1877 were discovered nearby, according to designers Tongue & Groove. That inspired its construction “like a well-designed ship,” and the home features nautical details like a bow-shaped bar and a rooftop deck that would look at home atop a luxury yacht.
