A vibrant contributor to Martha's Vineyard's winter social scene, is the Vineyard Haven Playhouse, which thankfully continues to entertain the islands year round residents through the off season. Here's as snippet of what February has to offer:

The new owners of 3 Sunset Way can look forward to long relaxing summer evenings enjoying the famous Aquinnah sunsets from which their new address was no doubt inspired!

We still have availability at this lovely private waterfront home on the desirable Tisbury Great Pond. Enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing right in front of the property. Clean fresh open plan layout, with 4 bedrooms, rec/TV room, and your own little sandy pondfront beach!

The Red Stocking Fund is Martha's Vineyard's answer to Santa and his elves.  This entirely volunteer staffed non-profit was started during the Great Depression by two local women knitting stockings, and filling them with a few small toys as a way to give Island children in need of a Merry Christmas.

Tea Lane Associates brought the buyer of just over 3 acres of waterfront land which sold December 20th 2016 for $1,320,000. This gorgeous West Tisbury parcel of property sits on a pennisula of land that overlooks the desireable Tisbury Great Pond, popular for kayaking, swimming, boating, fishing and paddleboarding. The Atlantic ocean is a short boat ride away yet the property is just minutes away from West Tisbury town center but offering seclusion and privacy surrounded by only a handful of homes and nearby Pond View horse farm.

24 Old South Road in Aquinnah. Tea Lane Associates completed the sale of this 3 bed 2 and a half bathroom home on December 9th for $1,150,000. A beautifully expanded cottage, with just over 2000 square feet of living space on 2 private acres, with close proximity to Philbin beach.

When I tell people where I live, the mere mention of Martha’s Vineyard provokes wide eyed "ooooo's" and "aaahhh's" and comments like  “have you met .... so and so ..." insert famous person e.g. "James Taylor", "Larry David" , or "what's his name? ... the guy from Cheers!"

Extra slices of pie were consumed this past Thanksgiving week as Tea Lane Associates concluded the month with two closings in the six million's.
