About This Home
As of August 2022Twice featured in the Heritage Hill Tour of Homes, this awesome Victorian 'Painted Lady' can now be yours. Built in 1890 with timeless design, old world craftsmanship and a touch of whimsical delight, this is a very special home. Sitting on one of the largest wooded lots in 'The Hill', just a two minute walk to Martha's Vineyard, the unique setting offers beautiful gardens, walking paths, rare nature and privacy, smack dab in the middle of one of the most celebrated historical neighborhoods in America. Built by a lumber baron and owned by an artist and antique collector for the last thirty years, everything has been beautifully preserved. The original woodwork shines and is a timeless backdrop to the beveled glass, original hardware and stained glass windows. Want some income while you live in style? The main floor and second level were formerly separate, very spacious living suites, each having a large living room with fireplace, bedrooms, kitchen, own private entrance, separate furnace, air conditioner and utilities and can be used separately again if desired. The third floor is an artist studio (or an office area for live/work). The carriage house style two stall garage has lots of storage room, a work bench and an upper level that has potential to be a cozy rental unit, guest quarters or office/studio.
