121 Dolphin Ln Sneads Ferry, NC 28460

The Ennett/Hill House (c. 1861), stands as a rare coastal colonial home where history, craftsmanship and modern functionality converge. Originally constructed in 1861 by Dr. George Nobel Ennett as a simple two-room doctor's office, the structure was expanded in 1868 into a two-story residence with a wood-peg system. In 1874, the property was purchased by Captain John William Hill, a Civil War blockade runner known for navigating the Southern coastline and his ship, the ''Seabird'' during turbulent times. In 2016 there were two 500 square foot additions. The one has a primary suite with a spa like ensuite, the other features a living room and dining room with red oak flooring, pine walls and Poplar ceiling. Step outside to enjoy a 16x16 foot screened in porch, fire pit and hot tub, all situated on a half-acre surrounded by lush landscaping and vegetation. The home now offers four bedrooms, three full baths and approximately 2,724 square feet of living space, thoughtfully updated to support modern living while honoring its origins. Original hardwood floors provide warmth and authenticity, while a welcoming front porch invites relaxed coastal afternoons. The updated kitchen features marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, and modern appliances that complement the historic framework. Today, the Ennett/Hill House remains a distinguished mixture of Greek Revival and Italiante design and stands as both a preserved architectural treasure and a livable private residence, offering a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Sneads Ferry's heritage. The owners have lived and raised their family in this home for the past 38 years! The meticulous care, thoughtful attention to detail in the additions and renovations and love of this home are abundantly clear from the moment you walk through the door.
