About This Home
Nestled in a tranquil residential neighborhood, at the top of a curved drive through beautiful trees, this well-maintained home in move-in condition offers an idyllic Martha's Vineyard lifestyle. Custom-built for quality and convenience by a prestigious Island builder, every detail was thoughtfully planned for exclusive use by the family as a cherished year-round vacation home. The open floor plan centers around the bright second-floor great room illuminated by skylights in the cathedral ceiling, and a wall of sliding doors leading to a large deck overlooking lush green treetops with grill and dining areas for al fresco entertaining. A third-floor loft provides overflow for guests or a lounge area with its own balcony for sunbathing or stargazing. The entry level includes a large primary bedroom with an en-suite bath, a convenient laundry alcove, and two additional bedrooms with a shared bath and soundproof insulation. New mahogany outdoor shower and shingles, recent carpet, roof and skylights are just a few of the improvements. A generous .92-acre lot offers peace and privacy, and the walk-out basement allows for future expansion within the existing footprint to take full advantage of the 7-bedroom capacity with permitting and a tie-in to the available sewer connection.
Cycle easily to Edgartown Village or up-island on the nearby bike paths including the Meetinghouse Way bike path leading to South Beach. A detached Salt Spray car barn and a beautiful landscape with lawns, giant blue Hydrangea and a trellis with flowering Clematis vine complete the property.
