About this home

A rare legacy offering in the heart of Edgartown Village, this extraordinary in-town compound is among the largest on Martha’s Vineyard. Originally built in 1835 and masterfully renovated, it blends historic character with refined modern luxury just moments from Edgartown Harbor, dining, and shopping. Spanning two lots, the property features 10 bedrooms and 14 baths, designed for elegant entertaining and everyday living. The main residence showcases oak floors, nickel board walls, premium appliances, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow with a screened patio. The chef’s kitchen includes dual dishwashers, a Miele coffee bar, and wine storage, while a custom bar can convert to a secondary kitchen. Highlights include multiple living areas, en-suite bedrooms, a luxurious primary suite, bunk room, and a finished lower level with media room and wine cellar. Outdoors, a pool, spa, cabana, and carriage house create a private coastal retreat.
