www.SandpiperRe... - A matchless property on a matchless Island. A premier location on Vineyard Haven Harbor with expansive views of all the activity, a large 1.7A parcel of land which provides unique privacy, a dramatically designed pool and surrounding landscaping, and a 5 bedroom, 7,045 sf home, 2 car garage impeccably designed by premier architect, Patrick Ahearn. After years of searching for the picture-perfect location the owners chose the Vineyard to build their dream home and this particular location on Vineyard Haven Harbor which resulted in a one of a kind Island estate.
The house incorporates the exquisite details of fine architecture, large, open spaces which capture the unique views of the Harbor from many locations and different perspectives, with a comfortable, relaxed style in perfect balance and harmony. The spaces are designed for casual living or an elegant cocktail party.
Located on a large 1.7A parcel of land, unusual for this premier location, there is adequate room to set the house back from Main Street, include a large patio off the back porch along with space for a large pool and pergola to escape from the sun. An expansive lawn rolls down to the marsh and a sandy path takes you to the private 150’ beach and mooring.
A grand foyer overlooks the formal dining room and capacious water views separating the casual side of the house from the more formal rooms.
The spacious country kitchen to the left with fireplace with a view of the Harbor, incorporates a casual sitting area with fireplace and a separate bar area. It will satisfy any fastidious cook /cooks and put a smile on your caterer’s face.
The first floor laundry room and a powder room are located at the back door entrance, convenient for cleaning up kitchen activity or pool and beach towels.
Wide French doors open to a large porch with stone fireplace. The many windows gets you closer to the smell of the ocean, breezes and feeling of what summer is all about; beaching, boating, watching the ferry in action, good food and good company and a fire on a cool evening.
Leaving the casual side of the home and meandering beyond the dining room, the south wing of the first floor includes the formal living room with fireplace, and all season porch. A beautifully paneled study is located in a quiet corner of the house behind the living room. The different textures in each room, from the paneled study, to the softly toned living room and porch ads an element contrast.
The activity of the Harbor from this distance is a silent landscape of boats of all shapes and sizes in perpetual motion. It is ever seen but not heard except for the announcement that the ferry is leaving.
Back to the grand foyer and stairway leading to the second floor which is devoted to the master suite and guest quarters with broad views which deliver varying angles of the Harbor and beach. A long balconied hallway, a gallery for intriguing art, leads to the master suite on the right. This space is truly a master suite. It includes a luxurious bedroom with French doors and a balcony overlooking the lawn and pool to the Harbor beyond. The master bath includes a soaking tub, double vanity and dressing table. The custom designed walk-in closet, the size of a room, is equipped with space for everything.
Next to the master suite is a stairway to the widows’ walk and the Harbor and stars. A highly technical powered hatch opens that space for the “Mary Poppins” view.
A stroll down the hall brings you to the second floor laundry room and the guest wing. Two guest rooms, one with a private writing enclave and refrigerator, and the other with water views share a well- designed bath which provides separate bathrooms with a shared shower in the middle. Nothing about this house is ordinary! The selection of tile and accompanying wall paper in the bathrooms are delightfully intriguing.
A fourth, en suite bedroom at the front of the house has lovely water views as well.
A fifth bedroom studio is privately located above the 2 car garage. It includes sleeping quarters, bath, living space and kitchenette. It has private access from the garage or can be accessed from the guest suite on the second floor.
Though located on Main Street, the size of the parcel of land allowed the house to be located behind a well- planted front yard which screens all the activity and still provides a tremendous amount of room on the water side for a patio with built in grill, pool with gracious surround and a broad lawn that spills directly to the water. Large trees, perennial gardens, required hydrangeas and cascading roses about to profile this magnificent property. The written word and videos are powerful tools however in this instance; this is a property that must be visited.
