At the end of a gently winding road, where homes are nestled into wooded surroundings, this private sanctuary awaits. This distinctive, artistic home, clad in weathered cedar and detailed with custom windows and decks, provides four seasons of 360º views. Thousands of daffodils across a meadow in spring, breathtaking sunsets over ancient beetlebung trees, lushly landscaped courtyards and a sprawling, four-acre lawn edged with handmade stonewalls. As you enter the house, you will notice rustic Italian tile and restored barn windows in the hallway, which lead to the first floor bedroom/bath, once a shingled cottage in nearby Chilmark. The kitchen/living/dining area features a one-hundred-year-old Vermont post and beam ceiling, wide Maine yellow pine plank flooring and tin wall details. Kitchen cabinets are antique red maple with a natural slate countertop. The sunny living-room centers around a cast iron gas stove. The second floor is dedicated to a two room master bedroom suite with winter water views of the island’s north shore and a full bath including a crystal chandelier, cast iron tub and outdoor balcony. You reach the lowest level of the house by way of a stunning, plant-filled atrium with a solar powered waterfall. Downstairs is a stylish living-room/bedroom suite, also featuring a gas stove and laundry room. Every corner of this enchanting home is filled with artistry and attention to detail. It is cozy, yet expansive, taking inspiration from the past, but with plenty of contemporary amenities. Just a short drive to historic Gay Head Lighthouse and Cliffs and Philbin Beach, to which there is private access ~ this lovely oasis is an ideal residence or retreat center. Expansion possibilities include additional bedrooms, and a carriage or guest house.
