Located in the William Street Historic District, this elegant Greek Revival home, built in 1842, has stood the test of time and has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated in recent years.
This five-bedroom, four-bath residence combines historic character with modern comforts. The home features a light filled living room with classic 6 over 6 windows, dining room, office, and an inviting kitchen/breakfast room. There are five original fireplaces, and central heat and 3 zone AC. Additional conveniences include a mudroom, laundry room and a large screened porch where you’ll find yourself spending more time than anywhere else in the summer time.
Two of the five bedrooms are on the first floor, including a private ensuite with a full bath. The home is notable for its unusually large and abundant windows, flooding the south-facing interior with natural light. The winding staircase, complete with "mortgage button" is a sculptural centerpiece that greets you as you enter through the original front door. Renovations include a modern kitchen, three updated bathrooms, new screened porch, all carefully designed to honor the home’s historic charm.
Outside you will find a lawn area and back yard patio that overlook perennial plantings including roses, hydrangeas and dogwood and a white picket fence that creates nice privacy. Plus there is off-street parking for 2 cars.
Located just one block from Main Street and two blocks from the Vineyard Haven ferry terminal , this prime location offers easy access to shopping and restaurants and the Tisbury Elementary School. The town tennis courts are just a block away, and its a stroll to the town beach at Owen Park.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Vineyard Haven history.
