14 Pine St Vineyard Haven, MA 02568

Sitting high up on a hill overlooking Pine Street is well maintained home built in circa 1866. Until this year, this home had one owner for almost 150 years, the prominent Luce family. This distinctive home used the finest materials and craftsmanship of it's day, with multiple  layers of ornate exterior and interior moldings, a grand staircase, high interior ceilings, and a stonewalled entrance and front border. On the first floor are two entertaining parlors, each with a fireplace, a library, living room, dining room, pantry, kitchen, and full bath. On the second floor are 4 bedrooms and a full bath. Outside there are two separate 1.5  car garages, and 2 other outbuildings. A new septic tank was recently installed, and the disposal system was recently inspected and approved. In addition, Donald Cronig made a complete inspection report available for review. As a builder for 40 years, I have many ideas for the renovation of the home, and the design for a new updated kitchen and appliances. However, the home is fully livable as is. The 3rd floor is unfinished, but can be easily completed into 1200 square feet of more space. From within the third floor there is access to a sturdy widow's walk that has views of the Harbor! There are plans for a multiple lot subdivision in the rear of the property, with a new road entrance on the southeast side of the property (see attached map). The proposed subdivision shall have covenants to maintain the design integrity and the values of the new homes. Please note the actual size of this lot may be slightly modified pending final approval from the permitting agencies. (Because there are 2 extra large parlors on the first floor, a large 2nd story study, and a 3rd story loft, 6 extra bedrooms could be added to the existing 4 bedrooms (8-10 bedrooms total) pending a septic disposal system upgrade approval. Maybe a Bed and Breakfast?)
