Antique Home on Edgartown Harbor
Overlooking Edgartown’s inner harbor, this waterfront estate on over nine acres has been in the same family since it was built over a century ago. Part of one of the first land grants in the 1600s, the property provides spectacular views that encompass the harbor, Chappaquiddick and Nantucket Sound. The long driveway provides ample privacy yet the home is only minutes from South Beach and Edgartown village.
The front façade of the Colonial revival house, with its elegant door crowned with a fanlight and surrounded by sidelights, faces Edgartown Harbor just as it did in this 1931 photo before the house was shingled.
A beautiful winding stairway with a graceful arched window greets visitors in the front hallway and enhances the home’s classic feel. French doors to the right open to a spacious living room with fireplace that leads to an open porch. To the left through another set of French doors is the original dining room with fireplace, now used as a sitting room, and the tiled breakfast porch. All are areas where people can gather and embrace the commanding view. Beyond are the kitchen, butler’s pantry, laundry room, half bath and back stairs. A small wooden door next to the back porch door is where ice deliveries were made.
Original windows, doors, Canadian maple flooring, wainscoting and intricate plaster molding are original to the house. Decorative tile surrounding each of the woodburning fireplaces depicts signs of the zodiac, bees and a variety of animals and lends a distinct character to the home. The owners believe the tiles may have been imported from Italy.
There are a total of 9 bedrooms in the house. On the second floor, two bedrooms, one with a fireplace, have en suite baths and private porches and there are four back bedrooms. The third floor is a self-contained apartment with three bedrooms, full bath, complete kitchen and living room with a wood stove. There are stairs from the second floor as well as a private outside entrance.
The deep-water dock easily accommodated the family’s 90-foot yacht. Three cabanas are at the edge of the 300-foot private sandy beach and a tennis court is to the side of the driveway.
This private sanctuary offers enormous potential to meet the next owner’s vision.
