    What's special

    Imagine owning your own beach house on Martha’s Vineyard, ready for summer fun. Perched atop a rise that captures sweeping views over the property, floods interiors with natural light, and opens to a spectacular night sky, this furnished move-in-ready home delivers the Vineyard lifestyle you've been imagining — with room for everyone. Over 2,600 square feet (not including the walk-out basement) unfold across four levels, beginning with a dramatic 30-foot vaulted foyer bathed in sunlight. The fully renovated chef's kitchen features Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator, luxury stainless steel appliances, and stone counters, opening onto a favorite gathering place in the heart of the home - a custom banquette with built-in window seats that easily seats 10. A formal dining room, oak floors, a wood-burning stone fireplace once featured in Architectural Digest, and a view-facing living room with balcony set the tone for effortless entertaining. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and en-suite bath, complete with a sunken tub and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath. A sculptural spiral staircase rises to a loft lounge with glass doors to a private balcony — perfect for stargazing or savoring the serene setting — plus two bonus rooms for overflow guests. The walk-out lower level(an additional 900 s/f not included in the s/f), with custom stained concrete floors and new Andersen French doors, adapts easily as a lounge, home office, or gym. Overall, the home is well-maintained, lightly used, with regular renovations and upgrades, including a HydroViv water filter system. The expansion potential is exceptional: a sewer connection option allows growth to seven bedrooms, with room for a guest house, pool, and pool house. Seller is offering $25,000 at closing for the sewer tie-in. There is flex space within the existing floor plan ready for additional bedrooms. Minutes to Vineyard Golf Club, Morning Glory Farm, South Beach, Edgartown Village, and scenic bike paths.
