INQUIRE ABOUT THIS LISTING
In-Town Edgartown
Thaxter Homestead is a stunning 5 bedroom 5 bathroom home in Edgartown Village.
Built in 1784 by Reverend Joseph “Parson” Thaxter, First Chaplain of the Revolutionary War and the town’s longtime minister, this storied residence has anchored the island’s history for more than two centuries. Today, it has been meticulously restored and thoughtfully updated to offer a one-of-a-kind Vineyard experience — blending heritage, elegance, and comfort in the heart of downtown.
Every detail has been designed with groups and gatherings in mind. Each of the main-house bedrooms feels like a private suite, 3 with king-size beds and one with 2 twins, and spa-like ensuite baths. Plus a double bedroom and bath in the guest annex.
All guests enjoy the rare comfort of equal accommodations.
The open-plan great room flows seamlessly from a chef’s kitchen to a sun-filled living area overlooking the pool, creating the perfect setting for shared meals, celebrations, and quiet moments alike. For those who want even more space, the separate game room above the garage featuring a lounge, billiards, and bar offers a stylish retreat for kids, teens, and adults alike. — great for multi-generational families or groups of friends traveling together.
Outdoors, the private resort setting comes alive. A heated pool and spa capture the afternoon sun, surrounded by a bluestone patio with multiple lounge and seating areas, a built-in grill and outdoor fireplace. It’s a sanctuary designed for
connection — whether hosting an elegant dinner party under the stars or spending long, lazy days poolside.
Thaxter House is a living piece of Martha’s
Vineyard history, reborn as an unforgettable retreat. Steps from the boutiques, restaurants, and harbor of Edgartown,
