89 Main Street, Vineyard Haven

Generations have admired the elegant facade of this waterview home tucked into a corner of Vineyard Haven village, and the flower gardens in front are fully deserving of the oohs and aahs from passersby. The quaint exterior disguises what greets the visitor upon entering - a sophisticated combination of traditional and modern design within a completely renovated home (most recently in 2008-2010 and then in 2019). Consider the fact that the house has four large bedrooms all with modern ensuite bathrooms PLUS an office PLUS a separate den PLUS an extra bathroom. The primary bedroom with its private deck occupies the entire third level of the home and enjoys spectacular 120-degree harbor views of the multitude of wooden sailboats on their moorings and the ferries coming and going. This is a home for entertaining friends and family thanks to its open floor plan that opens onto a large deck. The home is located at the far end of Main Street in what is a bustling part of the village, and yet when one steps inside, the hubbub disappears as the door closes behind you. The cobbled driveway fits two cars and there is also a grassy driveway that leads to a detached two-car garage. The garage is currently configured to accommodate one car in the off-season. The other half of the garage is an art studio that could be used as is or repurposed as an office or gym. Tucked between the house and garage is a peaceful area with bluestone pavers that lead to an outdoor shower - the perfect place to rinse off after a day at the beach or out kayaking or paddle-boarding The house conveys with an easement to walk down to the harbor.
