A rare legacy offering in the heart of Edgartown Village, this extraordinary in-town compound is among the largest of its kind on Martha’s Vineyard. Originally built in 1835 and masterfully renovated by renowned architect Patrick Ahearn, the estate seamlessly blends historic character with refined modern luxury. Just moments from Edgartown Harbor and the island’s premier dining and shopping, the property spans two lots and offers an extraordinary compound featuring 10 bedrooms and 14 baths. Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the main residence showcases refined architectural details and modern technology. Beautiful oak floors run throughout the home, complemented by sophisticated hardware, premium appliances, and walls tastefully finished with nickel board. A gracious living room with fireplace opens to a patio with retractable screens, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow. The chef’s kitchen is impeccably appointed with dual dishwashers, a plumbed miele coffee bar, refrigerator drawers, and a wine refrigerator. A custom brass and glass bar is equipped with an ice maker and refrigerated drawers and can easily be converted into a secondary kitchen. Two private bedrooms with en-suite tile baths anchor opposite wings of the main level, providing both privacy and balance. The main floor also includes an inviting secondary living room with a gas fireplace, an elegant dining room wrapped in seagrass wallpaper, a generous walk-in pantry, and a spacious mudroom thoughtfully designed for effortless island living. Upstairs a spectacular primary suite serves as a retreat, complete with private balcony and a bonus two full spa-inspired baths. Three additional en-suite guest rooms and a spacious laundry room complete the second floor. The third level features a charming nautical-themed bunk room with four built-in beds and full bath. The finished lower level includes two bedrooms with en-suite baths, a media room, wine cellar, and additional laundry. Beyond the main house is a beautifully finished two-car garage with brick floors and wood-paneled walls. The carriage house above the garage offers a private guest suite with a balcony overlooking the pool. The outdoor setting is unparalleled for in-town living. Lush hydrangeas surround a resort-style pool and spa, complemented by a built-in grill, firepit, and an exceptional cabana with kitchenette, half bath, laundry, heating and air conditioning. This Edgartown estate offers privacy, scale, and sophistication rarely found within steps of Main Street. An iconic Martha’s Vineyard property reimagined for modern coastal living.
