Holding court overlooking Tisbury village, is this beautiful vintage home that originates from the 1800’s, and that was recently fully restored to preserve its historic character while creating a fresh, modern living environment. The home underwent a complete gut rennovation in 2017, with new plumbing, wiring, AC and alternate configuration of some of the rooms. The soul of the home was preserved in full with the main central staircase and entrance being a focal point.
See below some before, during and after the rennovation.
The property was yellow in 2015!
Original heart pine floors and a grand staircase, the original interior shutters and antique lighting fixtures add charm while all new electrical, plumbing, wiring, HVAC, in-floor heat, Sonos sound, and Ecobee smart thermostats make it relevant for living today.
The home was thought to be one of the first in Vineyard Haven to be converted to electricity in the late 1800’s, after many homes at the time were lit by whale oil.
During the rennovation
At the heart of the home you will find the gorgeous eat-in kitchen which is open to a cozy sitting room with fireplace. The formal dining room and living room are located off the foyer.
There is a first-floor bedroom suite, privately situated past the back entry and mud-room area.
The upstairs master suite features a luxurious bathroom and an adjacent office or reading space, making a total of four bedrooms plus media room (or fifth bedroom).
Before the rennovation
The third floor is wide open and ready for whatever your family needs. From there you can access the widow’s walk with views of the harbor.
The outdoor space is expansive and features a large stone patio with privacy pergola and three outbuildings. Six-bedroom septic system. Guest house and pool are possible.
Walk to Main Street and the ferry. This property is move-in ready for the buyer who appreciates the aesthetic of an antique home, with the comfort of modern construction.
